Ethical actions in times of business issues surrounding tragic events.

Through our lesson, we learned that tragic events detract people from their normal ethical stance. Why do you think this is the case? Bring forward a tragic event that has happened in your lifetime as an example and explain whether your ethical stance shifted during that time. If you could go back in time, would you choose to handle the situation differently? Why or why not?

Please help with an example of a tragic event that happened in USA or Colombia South America

Hope this helps. Thank you!

Step-by-step explanation

Tragic events often times detract people from their normal ethical stance because they react to the situation based on emotion and split-second reaction versus really thinking about what is going on and reacting with sound ethics. One situation that I can personally think of was last year when I was involved in a car accident. The other driver rear ended my vehicle at a high rate of speed. He was driving a company vehicle and did not have a driver's license.  I reacted out of emotion and got angry with the other driver and when the employer arrived he escalated the situation further, possibly after feeding off the energy of the scene already. If I could go back in time I would not have gotten angry with the other driver.  He obviously did not mean to hit my vehicle.  What he did was wrong in driving without a license, but I was wrong in my reaction. Two wrongs do not make it right. Showing a little grace in this situation could have helped to alleviate and deescalate the situation before his employer arrived.  That could have helped keep the employer a little calmer and the situation could have all been handled much easier and more ethically than it was. 

At the time of tragic things individual ethical sense will be under dilemma and could not differentiate between what is wrong and what is right for that point of situation. So in these kind of cases the cases taken might be very much different than the cases taken in normal situations.

I would like to bring some tragic/sudden event happened on our daily commuting on bike. When we are going on the highway in right direction suddenly an over speeding vehicle past before us without any sudden indicators, which resulted in me taking immediate shift towards left to save our lives, which eventually resulted in me falling with other fellow biker on the left side. So ethically I also did the wrong thing by not intimating the fellow left driver of my movement, but here come the sudden events, where the brain is in dilemma to follow the situation in such a short duration. Definitely here my ethical stand has shifted because to save my life I kept someone's life in jeopardy. I have become more self centric which in generally I wasn't like that Even if I go back in time, I don't think I have enough time to respond in a way that I would be intimating the fellow driver.
