Hi! can someone help me answer this question?

ETHICS. A fresh MBA graduate, Soun, gets a job in a prestigious industrial business.

They like the work. The salary is good. However, after a few months they accidentally

discover that highly toxic waste is being secretly discharged into the nearby Duwamish

River. This is causing health problems to the local community including local indigenous

peoples tribeland, both of whom work or depend on the river for water needs. Soun is

concerned and mentions their apprehension to their colleagues who have been with the

business for longer tenures. Souns colleagues advise them to keep quiet as any team

member who mentions the topic is immediately terminated from their employment.

Soun cannot afford to lose their job as they are the sole breadwinner in their

partnership, and their family depends on them as do Souns partners ailing parents.

Soun struggles internally and thinks if their senior colleagues are not blowing the

whistle while should they; but Souns conscience begins to tug at them and Soun is

concerned about the people the toxic waste is affecting, and how their families depend

on the water quality. They are torn, and consider your advice prudent. What

arguments would you advance to Soun to show them that keeping silent is unethical

and not morally right? What legal course of actions can Soun take and what

consequences, remedies, and protections are available to them?
