Hi, Please review my essay
------------------------------------
The following is an excerpt from a memo written by the head of a governmental department:
“Neither stronger ethics regulations nor stronger enforcement mechanisms are necessary to ensure ethical behavior by companies doing business with this department. We already have a code of ethics that companies doing business with this department are urged to abide by, and virtually all of these companies have agreed to follow it. We also know that the code is relevant to the current business environment because it was approved within the last year, and in direct response to specific violations committed by companies with which we were then working—not in abstract anticipation of potential violations, as so many such codes are.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.
---------------------------------------
The argument states that stronger ethics regulations or stronger enforcement mechanisms are not necessary to ensure ethical behavior by companies currently doing business with the government department. This is based on the premise that the department’s code of ethics is relevant to the current business climate and all businesses are urged to abide by this code. The argument, as it stands, is unconvincing and fails to provide sufficient evidence to support its line of reasoning.
The memo cites two main arguments to support its conclusion – that the code of ethics outlined by the department is in line with the current business environment and that the companies doing business with the department have “virtually” agreed to follow this code. The first argument is presented in a matter-of-fact manner, but there is no supporting information or evidence to confirm that the department’s code of ethics is failproof. Just because the code was approved last year, does not necessarily mean that its content is relevant today. Moreover, it is mentioned that the code is in direct response to specific violations committed by businesses at the time. Has there been any recent assessment or revision of the code? Maybe the business climate, over the last year, has undergone significant shifts or there are other scenarios, which the code fails to capture. The second argument uses the phrase “virtually implied”, which implies that the companies doing business with the government department may only have informally agreed to the code of ethics. If so, businesses may not be legally obligated to follow the code of ethics. In such a case, the department may have to revisit its enforcement mechanisms to ensure that companies do their businesses ethically.
As explained in the above lines, the argument holds little ground for questioning. In order to strengthen its claims, the department should provide concrete evidence confirming that its code of ethics is up-to-date, and is being properly enforced.
