Parable of the Sadhu

Ethical Decisions Tough lasts are alarming to close people. Therefore, we have guidelines or theories to wait on us build these decisions. The most effective managers are ide in ally those that simply dont strait under pressure and are action-oriented people. Sometimes, people do non hallow any of their time to the decision in front of them, and make decisions establish on their situation. This is one of the many issues that arise in The Parable of the Sadhu. sound McCoy went on an adventurous six-month sabbatical program with his friend, Stephen, and when they were hiking in Nepal, they came across a grievous ethical dilemma.As him, Stephen, and a few other hikers were hiking up the unsafe Himalayan mountains, they came across a sadhu. Stephen had been showing symptoms of altitude sickness and they had determined to rest for a bit, when one of their fellow hikers found this man. The sadhu was tho clothed, and was consequently suffering from hypothermia. The man who fou nd the sickly sadhu grew irritated, as he cute to continue on because he did what he could do. He left soon afterward, leaving the sadhu in the hands of thrum, Stephen and a few other hikers.We are all less likely to soak up charge of a situation if there are people close to us. We simply assume that someone else will take full accountability and get our wheels turning. They had all given him clothing and tried to warm him up a bit, but none had stepped up and taken full responsibility. seethe then also gave in, as he grew afraid of the heights to come, and without a great deal of thought, continued on. Looking back on this moment, bombilation regrets how he handled the situation. In all actuality, he never handled it at all he never even gave it a thought.With all the epinephrin and the possible ecstasy that awaited his arrival at the roseola, he never thought of the consequences of this decision. Buzz states, I felt and continue to feel iniquity about the sadhu. If he had thought it through, he probably wouldnt be carrying this burdenous regret. He later goes on to mention, however, that the situation he was in is mate to a corporate situation, wherein people need to make split-second decisions (no matter the consequence). This is not an ethical method in any ay, shape or form. Buzz was not thinking about the best option or the decision that would make for the greater good. He was focused on himself, and reaching the peak of that mountain. Buzz never thought that this decision would haunt him for the rest of his life. In applying the universalization test to McCoys decision, I am left with a serious question what if everyone were to act as McCoy did. What if, when faced with a challenge, or an annoyance, or simply something unexpected, everyone were to simply give up?What if everyone in the world were to notch away saying, oh, I gave him some clothes therefore I did all I could do. Just because they arent in the flesh(predicate)ly responsib le for the sadhu, doesnt bastardly that they shouldnt care. They needed to be responsible human beings, like Stephen. What if we lived in a world where everyone was out for his/her own gain? Although it may be like it, there are still glimmers of hope once in a while, and we, as inhibitors, must fight for them. If everyone was out for their own personal gain, nothing would be accomplished.Ethical guidelines, such as the universal test, are by all odds more relatable and easier to apply. The theories, on the other hand, are much more tractable and subjective. There was really only one answer when I asked myself, what if this were the doings of everyone on this planet? Though, when I asked myself, what would have been the best outcome for everyone? the lines got a little blurry. One final thought a valuable wear round of information is the sadhus intentions.If he had gone to the mountain to transcend in the first place, then taking him down and saving him would be completely against his own intentions. The story states that he was an elderly man with hardly any clothes and no food thus, he could have wanted to go in peace, on his own terms. Here in lies the enigma we never are given all of the information necessary to make an educated informed decision. This is why we have ethics, or guides for us to constitute in situations that we seem to be blindly coming to decisions. They can help us come to ethical decisions for the situations before us.
