5Compassion towards Maintenance team → My duty could result in their job loss. (6) Utilitarian vs Deontological: Maximum good for Driver's family, Maintenance team. True reports imperative of consequence. b Options available to me: (1) Blaming the driver for irresponsibility drinking alcohol while on duty. Merits → True supporting, Truth Other drivers warned, Jobs of Maintenance team saved. Compassion. (2) Half truth (Crisis of Conscience) → Demerits: Impossible behavior of Maintenance team and Lost lost in team & Driver's family. (3) Reporting Both the causes, along with pointing out inadequacies of the checks & balances and Internal audit mechanism.
Holistic approach to the problem. MeritsDedication to my duty No place for any wrong-doer. Losses to Maintenance team & Driver's family. DemeritsHalf truth (Crisis of Conscience) c In my opinion, most ethical would be to point out responsibility of maintenance failure, along with inadequacies of checks within the system. Justification: (1) Maintenance team's inadequacies would lead to larger issues and more accidentsAgainst common good approach. (2) Driver is an individual but maintenance team is a system. Systemic failure affects moral corruption in falluring duty by almost everyone. Against Deontological ethics. (3) Maintenance failures would lead to reduced trust on government department of transportationChaos could occur. Driver's irresponsible behaviour must be also taken into account, and such issue must not be expected by enhancing professional ethics in individuals.
