Essay Assignment – Lesson 4 Essay
The commentary provided the following example of how differing moral values might manifest themselves in the context of HR:
An HR manager at the Calcutta (India) subsidiary of a multinational corporation believes that she has an inherited duty (dharma) to protect and serve the interests of the less fortunate. Consequently, she is reluctant to terminate an employee who has stolen company property to feed his family.

2.Based on your analysis, how did the readings change your personal perspective on how you would traditionally address similar issues in HR?
