The speech chooses Professor Wang Zhongxiang, Professor Kwok-kan Tam, Professor Knut Brynhildsvoll and others for an evaluation of their studies as the evidence of achievements in the Ibsen studies in the New Period in China. The speech, from the perspective of ethical literary criticism, also analyses A Doll’s House as a moral play to raise moral questions and concludes that Ibsen’s so-called social problem plays are ethical problem ones.展开更多

Throughthe understanding of these issues, the research expects tohelp the internal operation of ethical behaviors in the or-ganization in order to establish business ethics. The re-search used empirical examination and stratified sam-pling to select 231 top, middle and low administrators inmanufacture, service, government and non - profit -making organizations as target. The result showed thatthe main determinant of ethics of administrators in deci-sion - making was "corporate interest". Besides, the ad-ministrators in the four organizations showed distinctivevalues. The non - profit - making organizations showedhigher sense of values such as"caring self - discipline"and "safety belonging"than profit - making groups did.展开更多

Reports by different studies have shown artisanal cobalt mines (ASM) to exploit child labour and subject workers to perilous conditions. The IT multinational is dependent upon Congolese cobalt as a key element in lithiumion batteries used to produce their array of electronics. However, irresponsible cobalt sourcing practices undertaken by Tier 1 suppliers, Glencore and Huayou, have resulted in ASM operations being incorporated into Samsung’s global value chain, as Tier 2 suppliers. Analysis of the relationships underpinning Samsung’s cobalt value chain theoretical framework, highlights the presence of a relational governance structure, with captive elements among upstream Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. Samsung is thereby reliant upon both Glencore and Huayou to transmit and enforce private codes of conduct down the value chain to expel human rights abuses. In conjunction, the DRC’s weak and unstable institutional environment has facilitated corruption and the improper enforcement of laws across the ASM industry. It is thereby imperative that Samsung takes ownership of the issues present within its value chain, as both Tier 1 suppliers and the Congolese government have failed to ensure responsible cobalt sourcing practices to date. This report recommends that Samsung adopt a holistic action plan, not only utilising their own resources and capabilities, but also those of critical stakeholders including Tier 1 suppliers, NGOs and the DRC and South Korean governments. Most prominently, this report suggests that supply chain transparency can be improved using certificates of origin and blockchain technology. Furthermore, it is recommended that poverty alleviation is targeted as a key measure through “Cobalt for Development”, an action plan designed to instigate both social and economic upgrading within ASM operations and the wider community. By employing a multi-scalar approach and addressing the issues inherent across multiple governance levels, Samsung can ensure a responsible source of cobalt be sustained.展开更多

Generally speaking,M arxist responsibility ethics includes the responsibility for human beings,the responsibility for nature and the responsibility for society. As far as the modern value function of M arxist responsibility is concerned,such a theory advocates respecting the natural environment,promoting the construction of ecological civilization,regulating the operation of the public power,strengthening the construction of responsible governments,promoting humanistic care,promoting the development of the principles of the political education in colleges and universities,advocating social responsibilities and encouraging enterprises to shoulder social responsibilities and so on.展开更多
