In everything we go into, we involve ourselves in and we agree to, there is a mutual agreement between two parties. In a business, the producer has the responsibility to create safe, secure and products that passed through certain standards and quality control. In the same way, the responsibility does not end there. The consumers too have the responsibility to make themselves aware on how to use the product and what is it for. They should adhere to the precautionary measures, users manual and other guidelines provided by the producer. Taken for example the airline industry, these airlines have strict compliance with different regulatory boards and strict maintenance policies. However, safety and security does not end there. The passengers should also follow safety regulations and policies. These policies are given and provided for our own safety. This is a given agreement whenever we ride planes -- an agreement between the airline and the passengers. Looking at the Ford/Firestone Debate Case Study, I agree with the group in their course of action, which is for Ford to settle the claims of the victims, at the same time hire a third party to further investigate on the incident. This decision allows the company to make a stand and accept that there is fault on their end; they acted both legally and ethically. They did not veer away on their responsibility to provide safe and secure travels to their consumer. In anything we do, be it in our business or our own personal activities. We must keep in mind that each one of us has our own role and responsibilities that affect others. How we think, decide and act more often than not have a bearing to our company, community, the society and us. We must be aware of what we say or do so that we may have positive effects. What we are, what we do, will greatly affect others even if we do not know it does. We are held liable for our actions and decisions!
