The Emperor’s Club

The Emperors Club IQ . Do you think professor William carbon did the pay occasion? What are the ethical and moral dilemmas would he save experience? Did his choice assistance or hinder Sedgwick? A. I believe prof William snow did non do the right thing. Selecting Sedgwick tam-tam everywhere Martin joyful, non on the bases of merit, was non only unfair to Blithe only if arsehole too be perceived as favoritism. It is true that he wishinged to bring down Sedgwick Bell succeed and wished to motivate him to work harder. However, the means to that end were wrong. actuate a person is truly important.It wait ons increase confidence and builds up self-esteem. prof Hundred did his very best to encourage Sedgwick to apply himself more in class and at the school. He was quite successful as rise. However, only if when it seemed he had finally attaind his potential and was on track to attain to the final of the Julius Caesar competition, it turned out that he would lose out to Martin Blithe by 1 mark. prof Hundred thought that this would De-motivate him and further pr neverthelesst his breeding. In order to keep him focused towards his goal, Professor Hundred stubborn to grade him higher than what he bed.He thought about what would happen if he didnt select Sedgwick Bell. He, however, did non think of the repercussions of his actions on selecting Sedgwick. The implications of his actions on Martin Blithe were not perceived by him at all. The ethical dilemmas are quite clear. Was selecting Sedgwick Bell over Martin Blithe, by changing his grade, the right thing? Did he deserve to be in the final? Selection by any opposite way different than merit, was it acceptable? When realizing that Sedgwick was cheating, expose his lie or flummox to the victor and keep mum about it? The moral areas are a little bit more than lack and white.What would be the effect on Sedgwick if he wasnt selected? Given his relation with his founding father, would he b e able to notice after that? Would he give up trying all unitedly post failure? And what about himself? Was he doing the right thing by keeping quiet about the cheating Just because Sedgwick father was the Senator? And had he failed as a professor, a wise man? Professor William Hundred believed his finish would help Sedgwick Bell, to grow, build up his esteem and most importantly, help him scram belief in himself. On the contrary, as we could see, it did not aid him in any way.By increasing Sedgwick grade, though with the view of motivating him, was unfair as he did not deserve it. During the competition, on realizing that Sedgwick was cheating, Professor Hundred, on instructions from the headmaster, kept quiet about it. This was his second mistake. This was the second time Sedgwick was inclined a free pass without any repercussions. This led him to believe that he could get through flavor, doing what he wanted, in any manner preferred without facing the consequences for his actions. He had no prises for rules, regulations or authority. He act that throughout his life with impregnable Gerard to principles.And this holds true, as we see, that even after 25 years, he cheats in the competition. After being caught, he doesnt contrive even the slightest concern about exposure or, for that matter, any regret. Q. What would you do as a teacher? What would you do as a disciple? A. Contrary to what Sedgwick Bells father menti singled in the movie, I believe it is the Job of the teacher to mould the student and create structure in their life. Coming to SST. Benedict School for Boys, which is an organization of sorts, Sedgwick was an outsider. Professor William Hundred did his very best to welcome him into the origination.After considerable apparent motion and time, Sedgwick was motivated to work hard towards his education. As a teacher, everything Professor Hundred did till then was absolutely correct, not unlike what I would agree done. In my opinion, motivating students to apply themselves, giving them guidance, encouraging them to work harder, basi covery, mentor them are several(prenominal) of the very essential qualities of an excellent educator and Professor Hundred, definitely, was one. However, when it came to the Julius Caesar Competition, I would not defy done any of the things that the professor id.He seemed to be a very ethical man most of them times. However, when it came to Sedgwick, his ethics seemed to be on a shaky ground. To start off, I would not have changed his grade. It would not only be unfair to Martin Blithe, who rightfully belonged to the final, entirely to Sedgwick as well. It was true that he tried very hard, his progress was tremendous and he had a difficult relationship with his father. However, none of these factors change the fact that he did not deserve to be in the final on the very grounds of merit. Also, when realizing that Sedgwick was cheating,Professor Hundred immediately told the headmast er. The headmaster refused to let Professor Hundred expose Sedgwick only on the grounds that Sedgwick was the Senators son. If I were in Professor Hunters shoes at that time, I would first try and convince the headmaster that covering up Sedgwick deceit was wrong and that he must be exposed. If even then the headmaster were to refuse to comply, I would have to call Sedgwick out on his dishonesty. The implications of such an action on my Job would for certain hinder me, but I would expose him, Just because it was the right thing to do.If not then, in front of the whole school, then surely later. I would make sure Sedgwick deception did not go unpunished. As a student, my only real Job is to try and absorb everything around me, the lessons the friendship gained from them, in and outside the classrooms and evolve. Basically, all one needs to be is a sponge. Some of the things that help a student evolve are his peers, his friends. Sedgwick did not think much about them when his mind w as arrange on something, be it disrupting someones studies or Just having fun, even if it gets them into trouble. I would never take favour of my friends.I would treat them exactly the way I would want to be enured by them. Most importantly, I would try to learn from them. Temptation is a strong emotion which deters everyones path sometime or another. However, if ones principles are sound, one does not need to worry about straying from the right path. Cheating, whatsoever be the circumstances is wrong. It is not only unethical but it also goes against my beliefs of Just. The guilt of taking somebody elses position especially when I did not deserve it would be very strong. I would also not be as callous about my education as Sedgwick.A famous and goodly father may get me in any prestigious universities but my learning would be compromised. Most importantly, the guilt of cheating and getting outdoor(a) with it would surely keep me up at night. There has to be a sense of Justice. The repercussions of my actions must be known to me. Rules and regulations are the building blocks for the development of someone structure. As a teacher, I would work towards helping students realize their potential but inwardly the framework of what is ethically correct. As a student, I would try and embrace the principles, learn and evolve. Q.How would behavior like Sedgwick have-to doe with organization behavior? How would Sedgwick like attitude and behavior impact his life? A. Sedgwick Bell had a very strong assertive personality. He had absolute disregard for rules, regulations, principles and authority. In any organizational setting, such behavior would be very disruptive. His lack of respect for authority would make working in a hierarchical environment very difficult. Carrying out assigned tasks and duties trustworthy from the directly above echelon would not be done effectively or otherwise if there is no everyone from whosoever it has been delegated.He was also very self righteous. such(prenominal) behavioral individualist traits would make it hard to work efficiently within the organizational framework. There would be lack of communication, vertically as well as horizontally. Sedgwick failed to think about others as he did not have much concern for others. such(prenominal) behavior in an organization would not help him function well with his colleagues. Interaction with people will help one gain knowledge and grow. Lack of concern for others feelings will not only restrict his development, it will make him a Uriah within the organization.All in all, it will affect his functioning capabilities. Within an organization, one functions with a set of goals, short term as well as long term. Sedgwick did not have any planned objectives. He did not know, nor did he wish to gain from his time at SST. Benedicts. Such behavior can expand to stagnancy within any organization. There will be no scope for growth. Sedgwick, however, when motivated was ready t o apply himself and work. Such a fictional character would be very useful in an organization setting. When motivated enough, an individual would be much more productive.The individual and company goals would be met more quickly and efficiently. What one learns in his early life are some lessons which will shape him for the rest of his life. Sedgwick Bell learned that he could forever and a day get frontward without really applying himself and without facing any repercussions for his actions. His disregard for anyone other than himself will make it very difficult for him to elapse a dexterous and successful life. To an outsider he would seem happy and satisfied, but without the respect of others, especially his own family, he will not really have accomplished anything.The first time he cheated in the Julius Caesar competition, he did that as he lacked the confidence to believe that he could actually win. That doesnt take past from the fact that was wrong. However, his attitude that even on being caught he wouldnt be exposed due to the clout his father had is even more troublesome. Such a laid back attitude to rules and a belief that he could get out of any situation will not help him in his life at all. Would he pass on these determine to his children, the same way he received them from his own father? In his professional life, he might become very successful, which he does, but at what expense?We see it yet again, that even after 25 years he cheats in the competition. He does so with no remorse and completely discounts the repercussions. The only time he feels any guilt over what he has done is when his son finds out. For a second we are lead to believe, that maybe, there is some hope. Alas, that isnt true. There are ways to get ahead in life, but having an indifferent attitude towards rules and regulations is not one of them. He might become a Senator, but to really make a difference, he needs to understand people, follow the rules and mostly important ly, learn to nourish principles.
