Moving the Conversation Beyond the Ethics Literature: Connecting Diversity and Social Responsibility

Christopher Anne Robinson-Easley

Chapter Chapter Eight in Beyond Diversity and Intercultural Management, 2014, pp 113-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Over the years that I have taught ethics and social responsibility, I have been amazed at how many organizations researched by my students were either directly involved in or had a significant role in sustaining work conditions in major cities and developing countries that defied logic. The list of offenders is long, and over the years the level of negative impact has not lessened. However, the challenges of globalization have made it necessary to conduct a thorough investigation into the conditions of human life as they stand today (Wulf, 2013). There is a globalization of poverty, suffering, war, terror, and the exploitation and destruction of nature; conditions that appear to be related to colonialism and capitalism and unfortunately are being ignored when it comes to evoking systemic change (2013).
