Module 7

Nation building is a term used to describe deliberate efforts by Native nations to increase their capacities for self-rule and for self-determined, sustainable community and economic development.

Land slide, building collapse, flash flood and MRR-2 are the news that we need to concern about. Few years ago, a building collapse in Ampang that cause many people dead make us think about the ethics issue seriously. Is the building collapse because of human carelessness or ethics does not practice when built the building? Is there any procedures get wrong when built the building? If the workers who involved in the project completed the job ethically maybe this accidents can escape.

Another thing is MRR-2’s bridge that built in Kepong. Kuala Lumpur. We have been waited for 3 years for building the bridge for traffic convenient. However, we disappointed again. It has problem few years ago and need to spend money to repair it. The bridge was temporally cannot use, and we are suffer in congested jam.

Module 6

In my view, ethics should govern all voluntary human activities, and because business is a voluntary human activity, ethics should also govern business. Besides that, business activities cannot exist unless the people involved in the business and its surrounding community adheres to some minimal standards of ethics.

There are number of crime happened in an organization. Some employees are not practices ethically in their workplace. They trade the important business information of an organization to other competitors for their own purpose. Some even work for the competitor after resign from the old company. Hence, there is why ethical standards should be applied to the behaviors of the people in business organizations.

Honest business man produces and provides quality goods or services to his customers as well as may not be tempted to use malicious means to gain an unfair advantage on his competitors. They always care his business goodwill or reputation. “Honest businessman will be placed together with all the prophets”

Module 5

In my opinion, some people think something is “wrong” only if the laws prohibit it. Meanwhile, if the law allows it, it’s all right. We must not accept this attitude because “legal” and “moral” are two difference things.

Something maybe considered as a legal activity in a country but does not mean that it is moral. For example, in some country, sex worker is allowed by the rules and law but it is not morality. Law prohibits things that might be morally neutral or even good, namely homosexual, lesbian smoking habit in campus.

We do not take the law into our own hand. According to the newspaper report, there is a man was beaten to death by a group of people after he allegedly tried to grab a waist pouch from a trader. Even though some of the victims maybe suffered from such crimes, it does not justify the actions taken by those who caught them according to law. There are laws in this country.

Module 4

There are three levels of culture, for examples visible level of culture namely signs and symbol. The second level of culture is represented by the espoused values of a group. The third level od\f culture is the basic assumptions.

However, cultural understandings are sometimes much different between societies, nations or countries. Common practices can also differ markedly between nations. In western country, people will hug each other when they are meet. However, in Asean country, we will greeting or shake hand when we are meet.

The behaviour consider as a good culture practices not neccesary to use in other country. In Islamic country, we should not practice like western country. We can't hug each other when we are meet. We have to reaspect their own culture.

Module 3

Based on the activity 3 in module 3, the father asked his child do not smoking because of bad for our help. However father himself is smoking, and he excused that whatever he say and what he do are not necessarily the same.

In my opinion, as a father should follow what he had said to the child. Parents are the role model to their own child, they have the responsibility show a good mudel to their child otherwise what he said to the child its totally meaningless.

For example, if the father want the child adstain from bad thing like smoking then he himself also need to stop smoking. The child not only follow what his father say however follow what his father do.

Module 2

Business ethics is the behavior that a business adheres to in its daily dealings with the world. The ethics of a particular business can be diverse. Good business ethics should be a part of every business. If a company does not adhere to business ethics and breaks the laws, they usually end up being fined.

A good indicator of high levels of corporate, and hence, employee ethics is how well employees protect their company's asset. Employees who have respect for their organization and co-workers will avoid such practices as:

1. Padding of labor charges and expense accounts
2. Personal long distance phone calls on company accounts
3. Untidy work areas, break areas and rest rooms
4. Taking office supplies home
5. Excessive breaks or sick days
6. Improper use of copy machines and computer equipment

Entrepreneur

There are some people said that being an entrepreneur is about more than just starting a business or two, it is about having attitude and the drive to succeed in business. All successful Entrepreneurs have a similar way of thinking and posses several key personal qualities that make them so successful in business. All in all, for me it's not easy to build up a business.

There are some article make me feel intresting and useful if we want to build our own business ourself in one day. I hope this can share with my other fren.

All successful entrepreneurs have the following qualities:

1. Inner Drive to Succeed
Entrepreneurs are driven to succeed and expand their business. They see the bigger picture and are often very ambitious. Entrepreneurs set massive goals for themselves and stay committed to achieving them regardless of the obstacles that get in the way.

2. Strong Belief in themselves
Successful entrepreneurs have a healthy opinion of themselves and often have a strong and assertive personality. They are focused and determined to achieve their goals and believe completely in their ability to achieve them. Their self optimism can often been seen by others as flamboyance or arrogance but entrepreneurs are just too focused to spend too much time thinking about un-constructive criticism.

3. Search for New Ideas and Innovation
All entrepreneurs have a passionate desire to do things better and to improve their products or service. They are constantly looking for ways to improve. They're creative, innovative and resourceful.

4. Openness to Change
If something is not working for them they simply change. Entrepreneurs know the importance of keeping on top of their industry and the only way to being number one is to evolve and change with the times. They're up to date with the latest technology or service techniques and are always ready to change if they see a new opportunity arise.

5. Competitive by Nature
Successful entrepreneurs thrive on competition. The only way to reach their goals and live up to their self imposed high standards is to compete with other successful businesses.

6. Highly Motivated and Energetic
Entrepreneurs are always on the move, full of energy and highly motivated. They are driven to succeed and have an abundance of self motivation. The high standards and ambition of many entrepreneurs demand that they have to be motivated!

7. Accepting of Constructive Criticism and Rejection
Innovative entrepreneurs are often at the forefront of their industry so they hear the words "it can't be done" quite a bit. They readjust their path if the criticism is constructive and useful to their overall plan, otherwise they will simply disregard the comments as pessimism. Also, the best entrepreneurs know that rejection and obstacles are a part of any leading business and they deal with them appropriately.
