One of the thorniest issues within business ethics is that of whistle blowing. Two of the many concerns within this topic are those of conflicting duties and agent motivation. The former is often couched in terms of a tension between a duty of loyalty to the company that one incurs as an employee and a duty to society in general one incurs as a citizen. The latter issue raises the question of whether or not the whistle blower's reasons for acting are self serving or properly moral. Make a post that both addresses the question of whether or not there can be cases of conflicting duties giving our dual role as both employee and citizen and takes up the issue of how a whistle blower's intentions relate to the differences between utilitarian and kantian ethical intuitions.
