The military does a pretty good job adhering to the CERES
principle. Out of the 9 items, there is only one area that comes
to mind that I would give them a low mark on and that is
Informing the public. Informing the public states that a
company will timely inform everyone who may be affected by a
condition caused by our company that endanger health, safety,
or the environment (Johnson, 2016). Recently during my
military retirement process, I found out that being exposed to
bird droppings may cause mesothelioma. For years I worked in
an airplane hangar where I had to clean up the bird dropping
that collected from the birds that made homes at the top of the
hanger. We did this daily as part of our house keeping routine. I
was never made aware of the potential hazards to my health
while performing theses duties. According to the informing the
public principle of CERES, I was supposed to have been
notified in a timely matter.
I believe that it is possible to meet all of the stakeholders needs,
just probably not all at the same time. I think there will times
periods of times that some stakeholders’ needs may not be met.
The trick is in managing those periods to as brief a period as
possible. The goal is to have more ups than downs. For
example, employees may not be happy during a period of
extended hour, due the demand for a product, but at the same
time the customer will be happy. According to the text,
customers and employees are primary stakeholders (Johnson,
2016).
One of the benefits that I enjoy about living in a global
economy is the ability to shop on line or the internet. You are
no longer limited to only the products that are available in your
city. This makes it relay nice when purchasing gifts for the
holidays. If the item is sold out locally you can purchase it on
line from the same retailer, but from a store 4 states over

3. without leaving your living room. A cost associated with the
internet is the birth of hackers, but the benefit out weighs the
cost.
Due to our human nature to natural bond together in groups
(Johnson, 2016), I don’t thing it possible to be a world citizen.
To be a world citizen you would need to be able to overcome
this social obstacle. I just don’t think it would be possible
considering our current state as a country.
When it comes to human rights, I believe that ethical ground
can be found. Human rights are granted to individuals based
solely on their status as a person (Johnson, 2016). No matter
what culture you are from, we all share the fact the we are
human beings. Thing such as the right to not be enslaved, I
don’t think there are many cultures that would agree to
becoming slaves.

****POST #2
· How well does your (current or most recent) organization
measure up against the CERES Principles?
Currently my organization is is small with only fourteen
employees. We provide a service to Boards of Directors to help
them manage their business items on a monthly and sometimes
weekly basis. Our services are mostly Financial bookkeeping
services but we also offer certified managers to help boards stay
on top of the triple bottom line. We have two office locations,
and try to maintain a local employee base that uses minimal fuel
to travel to and from work. Our vehicles are low emission and
help us reduce the amount of burnt fuels entering our
atmosphere and due to the amount we drive, we are considering
electric vehicles for 2018. Our office uses all recycled
materials, when possible, like copier paper, folders and we

4. ensure recycling bins and trash cans are located conveniently
around the offices. We give to two charities and provide
volunteer services in the community. We force our clients to
audit our books each year to keep us accountable. "We will not
take any action against employees for reporting dangerous
incidents or conditions to management or to
appropriate authorities" (Johnson, 2016).
· Is it possible for an organization to meet the needs of all
stakeholders?
Honestly, it is almost impossible to meet everyones needs,
however, it is possible to treat all stakeholders with respect,
honesty and integrity creating an environment that honors
commitment and the sense that everyone is doing a good job
(Johnson, pg. 300, 2016).
· What do you see as the greatest benefit of living in a global
economy? The greatest cost?
The greatest benefit that I see is all the different ideas and the
fact that those ideas come from so many different walk of life. I
recently worked with a Middle Eastern man who was on a board
of directors that Managed. He isn't used to an overly friendly
attitude and frankly told me that happiness and smiles cover up
lies. I was surprised, but I knew deep down that if i kept
treating like a king, that I would eventually break him. That was
not the case as I noticed very little change in how he treated me
over that period of time. When our contract was up with him, I
overheard him saying to my boss that he was pleased with all
the hard work and respect that I showed him during our
contract. So for me personally, I needed to see that I could not
only work with a Middle Eastern man, but that I could be a
benefit to his life.
· What does it mean to you to be a “world citizen?”
For me being a World citizen is having the ability to put aside
petty differences between one another and find a way to coexist.
Now I am not saying we should go hug the North Korean leader,
but I feel there maybe ways to overcome differences in opinion

5. without blowing each other up. However, in this case that
probably isn't true...
· Do you believe that there is enough evidence to conclude that
members of different cultures can find ethical common ground?
According to Johnson the idea that ethical common ground can
be found exists between different ethnicities (pg. 410, 2016).
Now there are most likely differences between us that will
cause more issues than they would if we worked among
Americans only, but for me it goes back to diversity in
thinking which is key for culturally diverse organizations.

· How well does your (current or most recent) organization
measure up against the CERES Principles?
The organization I previously worked for created a
sustainability score card that was first of its kind in the
healthcare. They encouraged suppliers across the industry to
provide greener products for the industry. The organizations
focus on greener products followed other leading works such as
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the use of harmful
chemicals, and promoting sustainable food choices amongst
others. The organization “recognized they are responsible for
their impacts and are willing to be held accountable for them”
(Johnson, 2016, p. 368).
· Is it possible for an organization to meet the needs of all
stakeholders?
There are two different types of stakeholder, primary and
secondary. The primary stakeholders consist of customers,
investors, employees, and suppliers. According to Johnson
92016) these type of stakeholders have a direct stake in
organization success or failure and exert the most significant
influence. The secondary stake holders consist of social

6. pressure groups, media, and trade bodies. The accountability
the organization has to this group of stakeholders is less than
that of the primary (Johnson, 2016). Although there is an urge
for organizations to focus on creating value for all stakeholders
“it is not always possible to satisfy every critic” (Johnson,
2016, p. 372). Understanding the concern of both primary and
secondary stakeholder, however, can create new opportunities to
generate value and potentially satisfy most of their needs
(Johnson, 2016).
· What do you see as the greatest benefit of living in a global
economy? The greatest cost?
Some of the greatest benefits of living in a global economy are
instant communication to anywhere on earth, increased
information flow, and cross cultural contact (Johnson 2016).
Some of the greatest cost are the ethical dangers that are
presented by large organizations. Take for example promotion
of greed and corporate power at the expense of others. As the
fast food industry grows with companies like McDonalds and
Domino’s Pizza, cultural traditions are being destroyed.
Johnson (2016) explains that with the growth of fast food local
fare is suffering and furthermore “people around the world can
expect to suffer the same kinds of chronic health problems as
U.S. residents do…” (p. 396).
· What does it mean to you to be a “world citizen?”
Johnson (2016) states that “we should consider ourselves
citizens of the world rather one than particular nation-state” (p.
400), or cosmopolitans. Cosmopolitans believe in increasing
interactions with those outside our culture group and that
individual responsibilities should extend to strangers as well as
acquaintances (Johnson , 2016).; furthermore that there is a
“moral obligation or duty to act on that concern by providing
assistance to others around the world” (p. 400). While I do
think that their beliefs hold value and should be followed to be
considered a world citizen, I do not agree with some of their
other values. Like for example, I do not agree with abandoning
my patriotism or world government. Doing that would mean I

7. would be abandoning some of my own beliefs and values such
as loyalty to my own country.
· Do you believe that there is enough evidence to conclude that
members of different cultures can find ethical common ground?
Power distance, Individualism vs collectivism, masculinity
versus femininity, uncertainty avoidance, performance
orientation, future orientation, assertiveness, and human
orientation are all values Johnson (2016) identifies as values
that different ethnic groups and nations hold in common.
Having an understanding for these values can help find an
ethical common ground amongst different cultures. Therefore,
yes – I do believe that there is enough evidence to conclude that
members of different cultures can find Ethical common ground.
