"Discussions surrounding music and ethical responsibility bring to mind arguments about legal ownership and purchase. Yet the many ways in which we experience music with others are usually overlooked. Musical experience and practice always involve relationships with other people, which can place limitations on how we listen to and act upon music. In Music and Ethical Responsibility, Jeff Warren challenges current approaches to music and ethics, drawing upon philosopher Emmanuel Levinas's theory that ethics is the responsibilities that arise from our encounters with other people. Warren examines ethical responsibilities in musical experiences including performing other people's music, noise, negotiating musical meaning, and improvisation. Revealing the diverse roles that music plays in the experience of encountering others, Warren argues that musicians, researchers, and listeners should place ethical responsibility at the heart of musical practices"--

Decision makers have considerable autonomy on how they make decisions and what type of support they receive. This situation places the DSS analyst in a different relationship with the client than his colleagues who support regular MIS applications. This paper addresses an ethical dilemma in "Inverse Decision Support," when the analyst supports a decision maker who requires justification for a preconceived selection that does not correspond to the best option that resulted from the professional resolution of the problem. An extended application of the AHP model is proposed for evaluating the ethical responsibility in selecting a suboptimal alternative. The extended application is consistent with the Inverse Decision Theory that is used extensively in medical decision making. A survey of decision analysts is used to assess their perspective of using the proposed extended application. The results show that 80% of the respondents felt that the proposed extended application is useful in business practices. 14% of them expanded the usability of the extended application to academic teaching of the ethics theory. The extended application is considered more usable in a country with a higher Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index (TICPI) than in a country with a lower one.

The complexity of surprise industrial disasters, the high probability of their occurrence, their protracted effects, and the risks they impose on humanity make empirical research and international exchanges of information essential. Industrial disasters also give rise to significant ethical uncertainty which requires emergency managers, industrial leaders, and political decision makers to reformulate the manner in which expert knowledge is developed and applied to the tasks of risk reduction and public safety. In assessing the challenges posed by surprise or unexpected industrial disasters, it is the purpose of this essay to heighten awareness of the ethical dimensions of all knowledge in this field. Additionally, the concept of prohibited risk is suggested as a crucial normative variable to be analyzed in the application of this knowledge to the essential tasks of emergency management in relation to industrial disasters.

This article reevaluates the usefulness of the theoretical continuum between hegemony and resistance in light of recent Israeli experiences. Specifically, through the comparison of "conscientious objection" and "draft evasion," I find that the breakdown of hegemonic consciousness is not sufficient to understand why some disillusioned Israeli soldiers choose public resistance against the state, while others choose evasive tactics. I argue that the space between ideological discontent and resistance is fraught with social and ethical considerations. The source of political discontent for disillusioned soldiers is problematization of their military service as an ethical dilemma, though the ethical concerns of these soldiers extend well beyond the overtly political sphere. I contend that this presents a challenge to the opposition of hegemony and resistance, but also to many accounts in political anthropology that implicitly privilege the political sphere as a natural site of self-fulfillment. Many accounts of hegemony and resistance isolate political consciousness from the broader ethical life in which people engage, and thus do not recognize that rejecting public action can be based on prioritizing other values, not only mystification. I find that one's readiness to resist the state is dependent on the degree of "metonymization" of the individual with the state project, and that cynicism is one way that people articulate the differentiation of their interests from those of the state.

There is a greater understanding of the significance of moral leadership in governance and accountability and transparency in public service. The emergence of a consensus that competent public administration and good governance are the cornerstone of long-term growth supports such realisation. The effects of unethical and unlawful behaviour in the public sector are considered unsustainable for a country's development because they could erode public confidence in government institutions and the rule of law itself. Furthermore, the South African public has been increasingly outspoken and demanding of public sector officials, showing less tolerance for their shortcomings, shortfalls, and systematic issues. As a result, corporate social responsibility has become a demand due to growing stakeholder demands, the inability of government and civil society to address complex societal issues, as well as the realisation by most businesses that their long-term success depends on their capacity to address localised sustainable development challenges. According to the King Committee on Corporate Governance, a well-managed organisation will be conscious of social issues and respond to them, giving ethical standards a high priority. This paper explores the South African public sector's ethical responsibility with regard to society's interests, as demonstrated by accepting responsibility for the impact of its activities on key constituencies, such as customers, employees, shareholders, and communities. The paper employs the secondary sources analysis method for data collection. It is concluded that moral leadership can effect change, modify how public institutions fulfil their legal obligations, and give those who rely on government services high-quality, essential services. In addition, transparent, measurable programmes and outcomes should be the byproduct of responsible corporate citizenship. This paper has three proposals for the public sector, which will mitigate unethical and prohibited conduct in the public sector, and which is considered to be unsustainable for a nation's development.
