Ethical ImplicationsEthical implications when it comes to working is extremely important. I as a student thought it was okay to put a commission of some of the printing that was done for the GISS service summit however after realizing the ethical implications linked with those actions thanks to Miss Gillman and Miss Park, I came to realize that this was wrong and needed to change. By making 100,000 Tsh/= from the conference, I was explained that this is a negative way of making pocket money since it eclipses the whole point of the conference as well as it would not be fair for the other students who are working just as hard as me. I am grateful that I was taught this at a young age before I would go on to losing the line of ethics in my day to day activities. Although this was a small bump in a the road it was one that I am thankful for, one where I can learn from, and one that I can look back upon and see the change it will make in the future. From this experience I have been able to better understand the ethics that are involved in business and finance. I can now better understand my father when he says "if you are to make money, make it honestly." I am someone who comes from a strong religion and household where we do believe in ethics and in living honestly which is why I feel that this was a good learning experience. Had I known that this was something unacceptable I would have not gone down the path in the first place however since the instructions on this was unclear and was something that I was unaware of I proceeded to think it was okay. I would like to apologize to everyone that is offended by actions and I would like to say that all the money was returned and used as the GISS budget. I would like to thank all those that made me more aware of the ethical implications.
Regards, Dhruv. GISS stands for Global Issues Service Summit and is a conference. I along side my team are running the Accounting and Finance team for the GISS conference. Our job is to ensure that all the money we spend is accounted for as well as ensuring that everything we get is at the cheapest possible price and is good quality. I am looking forward to working with my team and ensuring that this conference runs smoothly and is successful.
