Pluralism
Generally, pluralism is a philosophical theory that there is more than one
basic substance or principle. In epistemology, pluralism is the position that there
is not one consistent means of approaching truths about the world, but rather
many.

Moral Pluralism
Moral pluralism is an idea that there can be conflicting moral views that
are each other. Some of the values are incommensurable and there is no
objective ordering of them in terms of importance. Moral Pluralism is a
metaethical theory, rather than a theory of normative ethics or a set of value in
itself.
Moral Pluralism
They advocate flexibility when faced with competing perspectives. They
evaluate the issues of various moral standpoints in deciding and taking an action.
Many of the moral issues are extremely complicated. Knowing that many moral
issues are extremely complicated, they propose that single philosophical
approach will always provide all the answer.

Globalization
Globalization is a process of increased interdependence across nations.
It is the “ Intensification of worldwide relationship which link distant localities in
such way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away
and vice versa”
Technological Advantages
Liberalization of Trade and Capital Market

Base on Mariel John’s Paper, A MIT undergraduate

Globalization is seen in the export of economics, politics and culture. The
increasing ability to communicate quickly with people around the world has helped
to drive these changes.

Globalization can be seen everywhere – with American music, TV , and fast

appearing all over the world, and the increasing number of high-tech products
manufactured in factories across the globe being sold and purchased in the west.
“Some” Problems with Globalization:
Globalization uses up finite resources more quickly.
Globalization increases world carbon dioxide emissions.
Globalization makes it virtually impossible for regulators in one country to foresee the
worldwide implication of their actions.
Globalization acts to increase world oil prices.
Globalization transfers consumption of limited oil supply from developed countries to
developing countries.
Globalization transfers jobs from developed countries to less developed countries.
With the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, globalization leads to huge US balance
of trade deficits and other imbalances.
Globalization tends to move taxation away from corporation, and onto individuals
citizens.
Globalization sets up currency “race to the bottom ,” with each country trying to get
an export advantages by dropping the value of it’s currency.
Ethical Challenges of Globalization
Free Market Competition
Critics describe GLOBALIZATION as process driven by progressive
capitalist countries to perpetuate their economic and political domination.
GLOBALIZATION and the propagation of the LAIISEZ-FAIRE capitalism deepen
inequalities within in between nations is ethically condemnable from both
consequentialist and deontological standpoints.

Consequentialist Standpoint
It fails to maximize happiness for the greatest number of people

Deontological Standpoints
Is condemnable on the account that exploited populations are treated as
means to an end and not as end in themselves.

Another problem with GLOBALIZATION is that states are in effects increasingly

losing their sovereignty.
 HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS
Is the significant relation between human and their natural environment and
the other broad implications of this connection.

Globalization and Business Ethics

Business Ethics – examines moral principles concerning business environment involving
issues about corporate practice, policies, business, behavior, and the conducts and
relationship of individuals in the organization.

Child Labor – Top management establish clear policies that encourage ethical behavior
as part of companies’ strategic business programs and alliances. With involvement of
business ethics as a part of business strategic decision making, companies are even
expected to gain a competitive advantages, good will, and recognition in the global
business world. They any attract a good workforce and cater to healthy organization
climate. All this are anticipated to ultimately lead to good profits and a healthy
competition in the international globalized business world done by all people or things
in the world or in a particular group applicable to all cases.
CHALLENGES OF FILINNIALS AND MILLENIALS

 MILLENIALS
Also known as ‘Generation Y’ or the ‘Net Generation’. 1970s to early 1980s as
starting birth years and mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.

 FILINNIALS
Term used to denote the Filipinos Millennial

 FILINNIALS’ GENERATION
Increased used and familiarity with communication, media and digital
technologies
Even in the Philippines, millennials upbringing is said to marked by an
increased in a liberal approach to politics, economics and morality although this claim
is disputed.
Seven Basic Traits of Millennials
1. SPECIAL
2. SHELTERD
3. CONFIDENT
4. TEAM-ORIENTED
5. CONVENTIONAL
6. PRESSURED
Some psychologist thus considers Millennials (including Filinnials) to be part of
what is called ‘Generation Me’ instead of ‘Generation We’.
Millennials came of age in time where the entertainment industry started to be
significantly influenced by the internet.
Ethical Outdoor and Cultural Identity

In the United Kingdom, a 2013 poll found that Millennials were more open-
minded that their parents on controversial topics. Some authors describe
Millennials approach to social change as “pragmatic idealism” Millennials are so
labeled as the ‘Boomerang Generation’ or ‘Peter Pan Generation’. Generation Y
members are very upbeat and more open to change than older generation.
Concerning beliefs on ethical issues, most millennials of every religion, race and
ethnicity support access to affordable contraception according to a study.
