Reflection
I feel like I did struggle with my personal ethical values because this was a very complex issue. It
was having to decide between doing the “right” thing and not exaggerating your numbers, and
whether or not you want to feed your family. In a situation like this, I think anyone struggles
with deciding which is more important, which makes it such a complex issue. My audience was
other employees who had been wronged by the company and people looking in from the
outside. I wanted to encourage employees of Wells Fargo to act now and help me remove the
corrupt elite from having any sort of hold on this company, but I was also hoping to get
attention from other business people who may want to help rebuild the company. I made the
employees. I also made it a point to lay out exactly who would need to be hired after firing the
whole corporate section of the company to make it an appealing idea for CEO’s and other
business people who may be looking for a new project and a new way to serve the public. I will
use the format for Project 2 and some of the ethical issues I considered because I am going to
be coming up with a proposal to address two UNM English Department professors who sued for
unequal pay, which falls in the same area of ethics. As far as challenges in this assignment, I
found it a little difficult to come up with a budget and timeline. It wasn’t very difficult to come
up with an idea because it didn’t necessarily have to be perfect, but the timeline and budget
were difficult because I really don’t have any sort of knowledge on what it would take to make
