Answer 1

Answer:The whistleblower is back. Instances of insiders calling out corruption, lawbreaking and unethical behavior are happening all the time. But not since the Enron and WorldCom scandals has the role of the whistleblower stepped out of the shadows as it has now.

Less clear is whether whistleblowing as a tool will emerge bruised or burnished in the wake of recent whistleblower allegations that President Trump held back foreign aid to the Ukraine in exchange for potentially damaging information on potential 2020 election rival Joe Biden. The administration has worked hard in recent weeks to stigmatize the image of the whistleblower as an archetype, portraying him or her as an agent of treachery rather than as a servant to the common good and the rule of law itself.

But even before this particular turn of events, the decision to act on conscience in response to wrongdoing was considered “a very risky proposition for an employee who would like to stay working at the company,” says Janice Bellace, Wharton professor emeritus of legal studies and business ethics. That’s because for all of the prominence of whistleblowing in the past decade or so, there is still often no safe roadmap for a worker who has seen something to say something.

Answer 2

Whistleblowers Who Changed History

Explanation:

A whistleblower is a person who exposes secretive information or activity within a private or public organization that is deemed illegal, unethical, or not correct. We have come across many whistleblowers like Deep Throat, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, etc.

Pros:

1. The expose the wrong deeds to the public.
2. Hold people in office accountable.
3. Change the course of history.

Cons:

1. Sensitive information like military information is leaked to public, which is not safe.
2. Creates sensationalism, but if the information is not accurate, then the consequences are unwarranted.
3. Political and economic instability may ensue.
