 Whistle blowing is action did by people because they see something wrong
in a company. Usually whistle blowing is bring bad news for company and also for
the person who become the whistle blower. Just take for example there is a fraud
did by a company about a financial report. One of the employee notice the report
was made wrong purposely. And then he/she try to spread this news to people
who incharge on dealing with this kind of problem in the company. This could be
classified as a voluntary whistle blowing since the employee there is problem and
try to bring the problem into a surface so the company would not loss from the
fraud. The consequence if there there is whistle blower about something bad for

the company, the company would receive bad image in front of other company or
business. While for the whistle blower it would put them in a problem it could be blowing
they would be discriminated by the doer of the fraud if they known by the person
who did the fraud. In Us there is law which protect the whistleblower. It called as
federal whistleblower protection.
 From many of the workable ethical theory act of utilitarianism is the the
theory that govern the dilemmas. This is because act of utilitarianism is classified
an action into bad and good action. Most of the dilemma would become both bad
or good action. Just like the dilemma about data privacy it would be the bad
action if the data is being used for the advantage of people or group without any Moral
permission from the owner of the data. Like selling the customer data to other
company and get money from selling the data, this would be a bad action. Act of
utilitarianism explain about this problem. So most of the dilemmas, is governed
