Strongest Ethical Framework: responsible communication framework

Individuals and groups have moral obligations and duties to others and to ethicalcodes, standards and traditions(consequence-based).cept responsibility for consequences of one's actions by helping victims, provide support and resources, alleviate and contain harm. -groups who make a decision that seems to trigger a crisis event should be held liable for the crisis situation occurring -a crisis management perspective because of how crucial taking responsibility and attribution of blame is in addressing and recovering from a crisis situation. I reflect that if an organization is responsible for a crisis situation occurring, they should assume the blame when making a statement to the public in a crisis situation -emphasis on providing the community with the information and resources they need about why the crisis took place and what is taking place currently in order to restore peace. In class on Monday, we discussed the ethical issue of withholding information. Sometimes in a crisis situation, crisis managers withhold information from the public about a crisis situation in order to avoid panic from taking place. Although, this act of withholding information and valuable resources to the public may deny people rights that impact their own safety and health.

Applying Ethical Frameworks to Starbucks

Justice framework. In this crisis situation, the two victims were treated differently due to racial profiling issues at Starbucks. Based on findings on this crisis situation, it is under high speculation if the the same outcomes would have taken place if it had not been two black individuals who were not purchasing products at the café. In order to address this racial profiling issue, Starbucks need to be aware of the impacts of marking, which is defined as identifying a group based on attributes such as race, coloring, religion, or buying behaviors. Responsible Communication: Riley recognizes that since Starbucks is the reason this crisis occurred, the store must assume responsibility and blame for the situation. He also provides information to the public about what future actions will be put in place in order to avoid this crisis situation from occurring again. Riley states that Starbucks' guidelines will have to be reviewed and altered in order to ensure that this incident that not take place. honest/open about circumstances

Weakest Ethical Framework: Justice Framework

Justice is a fundamental ethics standard generally grounded in the rational application of rules, equity, and in maintaining fairness.Thus all people facing a crisis should be treated in the same way, fairly, receiving the same resources and accommodations. Critique: Some people (e.g., elderly,children, disabled, poor, etc.) are disproportionately impacted by crises and disasters because they do not have the resources necessary to prepare for and respond to a crisis In crisis Situation:All people facing a crisis should be treated in the same way, fairly, receiving the same resources and accommodations. - Restorative justice privileges those who are victimized by some wrongdoing and suggests that those who caused the harm have an obligation to correct or address that harm. This framework emphasizes that no particular group of people should be given more attention or more treatment resources than other, particularly based on group identifications such race, gender, age, social class, or religion.By giving everyone equal resources, no members of the community are disproportionately disadvantaged in times of crisisThis framework maintains the belief that in social justice is necessary in order for there to be fairness in a community in the time of crisis. According to social justice, it is necessary to prioritize who gets treatment and in what order, as it is impossible to help everyone affected at once, which is another one of the main reasons I believe this framework is the weakest. Stakeholders and spokespersons in a crisis situation should be prepared to give thorough explanations on how and why groups are being prioritized over others. I deem that prioritization of groups is fundamental in a crisis situation in order to avoid additional chaos and disorganization of resources and procedures.

Characteristics of Stigma

Marking: ways to id a group- things they buy, race Group label: name for group w negative connotation Responsibility attribution: make group responsible for crisis situation- ex: same religious beliefs as group responsible, political leaning so its their fault- brought this crisis about Peril: because of something the group did, you put community in danger, and costs associated w crisis caused by stigmitized group

Turner's 6 Stage model

order increases both the likelihood that tasks will be accomplished as intended and the likelihood mistakes will be accomplished/diffused more widely. Stage 1: Notionally normal starting point- need to understand culture and values of community in a crisis- initially accepted beliefs about the world Stage 2: incubation period: unnoticed set of events which are at odds with accepted beliefs about hazard- crisis occurs before people notice. Stage 3: precipitating event: forces attention to the crisis- transforms general perception- something happens such as someone gets sick, a news report comes out Stage 4: onset: impact of cultural roles and expectations become relevant- ex: restaurant violates norms and expectations- immediate consequences of collapse of cultural precautions stage 5: rescue and salvage: first stage of adjustment- how did this happen? what can we do? how do we fix it? Stage 6: full cultural adjustment: new understanding of world- either more expectations but not the same- ex: think differently of a company, create values people didn't have before ex: privacy values. connection to social processes that drive the crisis from happening in the first place. In addition, I believe social processes and values play at tremendous role in restoring a community after it takes place. Unlike the other development models, Turner emphasizes the changing of perceptions, values, and beliefs after a crisis take place.the public's values change after a crisis, whether it is a new perception or a new concern that the public never had to think about before the crisis happened. This vastly contrasts to Fink's Four Stage Model, which claims that in the final stage, the resolution stage, almost the entire crisis is eliminated completely and people are back to their normal ways of life - crisis being underway before we are aware
