$2.$ Watch Ethicana $1$ of $2$ and $2$ of $2.$

Note: I recommend that you work on the assignment while you are watching.

Please answer the following questions briefly during or after watching Ethicana:

$1.$ Are payments to government officials always wrong? Are they bribes? How do they differ from a simple "tip" that would be made in recognition of a service that is being provided? How do they differ from donations or $[$political$]$ contributions?

$2.$ Pay$-$to$-$play$$: what does it mean? Does size and intent of contribution make a difference?

Does this happen in the United States? Does pay$-$to$-$play ever occur in our work? If so$,$ how do you handle it$?$ How should it be handled? Do you believe pay$-$to$-$play is a major problem, minor problem, or not really a problem? Can you think of any time when pay$-$to$-$play would be OK$?$

$3.$ What is meant by the term $$appreciation$$ in the culture of Ethicana? Does it fit the definition of bribery? If not, what is the difference between an appreciation payment and a bribe?

$4.$ When making a deal, is it appropriate to follow local customs and give gifts and appreciations? Are there limits$?$ Is this a cultural issue?

$5.$ How does corruption affect the private sector? Can a company$$s employees affect change when there is corruption at the top? If you were the president of the company, and your employees faced a pay$-$to$-$play environment, what advice would you give to your employees?

$6.$ With Fran$$ois$$ threat of IIDEA delaying or canceling the project, how should Desmond handle Fran$$ois$$ demands for Mano$$s dismissal and relocation of the technical college?

Is it appropriate for Desmond not to notify the home office until he has "a better idea of what is going on$?"$

$7.$ What are the key points you learned in this module regarding ethics?

$8.$ Is $$20$ a truck to get over the bridge a Foreign Corruption Practices Act violation? What if the charge is not $$20/$truck$,$ but $$1,000$ per truck? Does this make a difference? Where is the line?

$9.$ Would you hire Rudy to be the attorney for your company?
