To bike or not to bike: An ethical issue
The precedent worries about his image when biking In Uganda. He is a modern well- equipped and pie-eyed muggy riding a full-bo aroundd mountain bike for pleasance and fitness, while around him poor tribe of Uganda are busy running(a) for life and using their bikes for ferrying lifes staples. Although struggling with that contrast, he continues his practice of luxurious biking, and tries to present himself as affectionate and respectful to meet Uganda.Despite the struggle of the author, his airless writing shows that he gets used to looking down at the topical anesthetic people. That is the impression readers get increasingly with reading, and it is especi every(prenominal)y clear with the last idiom of creating a culture of I-you instead I-it. The stakeholders include the author and the local Uganda. It would be better if the former does not pay too much forethought on the impact of his appearance, but instead loves the latter as peers, and hence hold oning his biking practice with a cheaper bikes, cheaper equipments, and using spare money to befriend the community. ExplainBenefits and losses The author benefits because he still can maintain his bulling practice, In full, with a shiny new mountain bike, and with fully muumuus appearance as he wishes. The country of Uganda might benefit because It can potentially keep the author definitely as a life-threatening consumer and perhaps to a fault as a good worker (supposing he is doing some utilitarian Job for the country), in the country for longer. The local Uganda lose because they have to require in their community a muggy who intrinsically does not deal the human equality between him and them, and also behaves offensively with his biking.Kind of ethical hassle Character. The author thinks that he should stop biking, but continues doing that nonetheless since he has a pity for himself. When trying to make himself less offensive and more friendly, he perhaps does not recognize that in deep he thinks that local people are lower than him, envy him, and can accept his friendly acts as the signs of good personae. Ethical approach applied Could be viewed as virtue ethics, as the author focuses on the Image of himself, on what people might think of him because of his biking. Descriptive or Normative Descriptive.The author describes the short letter and his action, but does not attempt to make judgments on why he think such biking is inappropriate, and what other alternatives and their effects are. Justify With his final choice, the author clearly hopes to improve his image in the eyes of Uganda, namely that he is not Just a normal muggy, but a good one who is friendly with everybody. But the last sentence of his description betrays him. It shows that in deep he maintains an I-it consanguinity with the local peoples, and Just tries to aka that relationship looks want an I-you one.Should he really want to build an I-you relationship, there are some alternative ways of solvin g his problem. But at first, he should ca-ca that there Is In fact no problem at all with his biking in the eyes of Uganda. As humanity, Uganda understand the differences between Individuals, understand the prise of biking for him. Now, suppose that he still wants to gain the love of the people (perhaps an I-thou relationship? L then stopping biking is not the level closer to surrounding people, as said earlier.
