The Ethics of the Workplace ft Fola Evans-Akingbola
In today's episode, we are joined by the talented actress Fola Evans-Akingbola to explore morality in the workplace. We all have to work to make a living, but we still have moral agency as employees. We kick off the episode discussing our place (as individuals) within systems and where our moral responsibility starts and ends.We extend the conversation on individual moral responsibility to touch on Peter Singer's famous 1972 paper- Famine, Affluence and Morality. Singer thought (and still thinks) that we have a concrete moral obligation to those less fortunate than us, even if they live in a faraway country. We discuss the implications of the essay for our responses to crises across the world today.Enjoy!---------------------Chapters:1:05 Does surviving in a harmful system make you complicit?12:06 Peter Singer Famine, Affluence and Morality16:13 Does true professionalism require challenging or obeying authority?27:19 Should you use personal ambition to cope with mistreatment at work?40:11 Moral dilemma---------------------Credits: Thumbnail art by Tomi Olopade (@eddieapollo on instagram)--------------------Topics: Morality, Workplace, Professionalism, Peter Singer, Utilitarianism, Famine, Protest, Capitalism, Work, Corporate Life, Ethics
