Antibiotics are agents that eliminate bacteria. Since bacteria are living organisms, they can develop resistance when individuals misuse antibiotics, resulting in so-called “resistance.” Consequently, antibiotics are not always effective against bacteria. The widespread use of antibiotics can diminish the chances of treating future patients by fostering bacterial resistance. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies that produce antibiotics establish ethical guidelines for fair market competition. It is advisable to administer one antibiotic to target a specific bacterium. However, developing a new antibiotic and achieving profitability typically takes about 20 years, presenting a daunting challenge. Additionally, some individuals aggressively market health supplements, often disregarding ethical considerations. Those involved in health and wellness must exercise great care. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A good manager needs to grasp human needs before they can act virtuously. Focusing on morality without addressing desires leads to an authoritarian organization. Authoritarian structures are detrimental because they stifle individual spontaneity. Organizations that suppress this spontaneity face excessive costs and are likely to fall behind in competition. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
