Whistleblowing in this context means that an employee reports company misconduct or illegalities, which would otherwise be unknown, outside of company circles, to the public or to a government entity. The paper examines how it is among the most frequently seen and controversial issues in business today and how regardless of the industry or job one is involved in, one has a chance of encountering a situation in which whistleblowing may present itself as an option.

From the Paper
"Another famous whistleblowing case study is that of Dr. Jeffrey Wigand. Dr. Wigand was a former head of research at tobacco company Brown & Williamson. In 1996, he revealed to the media that his company had added chemicals such as ammonia to its cigarettes to increase their delivery of the addictive drug nicotine. He faced lawsuits and even death threats, but persisted in his revelations via a national television interview ("Caslon Analytics whistle-blowing cases"). Dr. Wigand's story is perhaps best known to the general public in the form of the film based on it, The Insider. The impact of this particular case of whistleblowing upon society is unimaginable, given the large numbers of people use smoke cigarettes and the already well known health dangers associated with the practice.

Abstract
This paper addresses ethics and morality in public administration. The paper discusses the need for integrating ethics and morality into public administration and provides a definition of ethics and mortality.
From the Paper
"As Public Administration has evolved as an academic discipline and as a career profession, it has needed to develop operating procedures, codes of conduct, and other organizing principles common to such fields. Among these, one of the most important needs has been the development of ethics and morality codes. These are important, because public servants are often in charge of critical social functions and have access to public funds. Additionally, they represent different publics, and often must decide how to divide limited resources among competing interests. Without a proper guide for action, the public administration individual and organization could easily fall prey to drift (in the best case) or corruption (in the worst case). This paper will define ethics and morality as applied to public administration, in order to outline guiding principles which drive public administration."
