A new graduate of engineering; Graduate has got a job in a reputable chemical industry. She likes the work and the salary is also good. However, after just a few months, he found that high-school abusers were being privately flown in the nearby river. It is becoming the cause of the health problems of the villagers living in the downstream, who depend on the river for the need for water. He is distraught and reveals his concern to colleagues, who have been with the Company for a long time. They advise him to be silent because whatever he mentions about this topic, he is fired from the job. He can not take the risk of losing his job, because he is the sole survivor of his family, and he has to care for his sick parents and siblings. Firstly he thinks that if his senior is quiet, then why he pulled his neck out. But his consolation inspires to do something to save the river and the people who depend on the river. By consolation, she feels that the counsel given to her friends to remain silent is not appropriate, although she cannot explain her reasons. She thinks that you are an intelligent person and she seeks your counsel. (a) What can you present to show that being silent is not morally right for him? (b) Which way would you advise him to follow and why?

This matter relates to the moral dilemma. While the engineering graduate has the fear of losing his job, on the other hand his conscience is motivating him to play social responsibility.

 The following arguments can be presented to show that being silent is not morally right for him.

Because the high toxic waste released by the company is being flawed incorrectly in the river, which can cause serious disaster for the health of the dependents of the river.

Similarly, this high toxic waste will also prove harmful to the animals and biodiversity of the river, so intervention is necessary in case of conservation of the environment.

Above all, a well educated person, who knows that the wrongdoing is being done, remains silent, than it will be considered wrong in both ethical and behavioral forms.

(B) It would be advisable to follow the following route-

First of all, it will be advised to collect appropriate evidence regarding the wrong work done by the company.

The CEO of the company this should be done in the light of the matter and should politely put matters in front of them.

With clear evidence, they will have to try to explain that it is causing serious health problems to the health and river biodiversity of the people dependent on the river.

If the problem was not solved, then in this regard, once again, trying to bring his senior and counter-colleagues in his favor and together with CEOs. Again, it will be advised to present the matter again.

If these above mentioned steps do not solve the problem, he will be advised to register a complaint without regard to the job, so that the health and environment of the citizens can be protected.

Why would the above advice be given to him?

It is known that he is the sole survivor of his family and he is responsible for the maintenance of the sick parents and siblings, so he has been advised to take balanced measures and not to directly complain against the company.

It may be that the evidence presented by him makes the company believe that high toxic substances are causing serious harm to the vulnerable people and the environment and they change their intentions. This will also save his job and will not have any effect on the health of the people and the environment.

But if the company is not prepared in any way, then it will be advised to make a complaint against the company because it is his social and moral responsibility.

He may have to lose his job but it is important that he is a trained engineering graduate, so he will definitely get some better job.

Most of the time, till he gets a new job, he will be given as financial assistance as possible and help in finding a new job.
