HIV runs high in many other countries outside of America. One country that is at high stake for HIV would be Africa. Africa has allowed many HIV trial vaccinations to have a play in the life of many HIV participants. There are 30 HIV stages of development with local vaccinations. Some of the HIV vaccinations are recombinant subunit vaccine, which is simulating the outside or other part of the virus. Some participating volunteers serve high risks such as: mild or sever adverse reaction, serious infection, immune tolerance, pain or malaise, fatigue, anxiety and stress.
Ethical Issues in HIV vaccine trials in South Africa, By: C. Slack,G. Lindegger, E. Vardas, L. Richter, A. Strode and D. Wassenaar. June 2000.

This is something that is suppose to help treat HIV but at the same time can hurt the patient as well considering it is just trial versions and not completely affective. This is shown that many people chose to try and be vaccinated in order to help prevent the HIV disease from spreading, but at the same time there are many side affects to these trials. So we are not really going to help the patient, rather prolong the symptoms of HIV and also hurt the patient, with all these other side effects that come along with the vaccination. This is an ethical issue because we want the patients to have a chance of fighting the HIV, but at the same time these results are not producing results that we would like. There is no cure that will rid the HIV virus that someone may consume. Many people in South Africa do not have the technology, medical availability and the money to help cope with the disease that they inquire such as HIV, where in America you are given opportunity to be able to pay for the correct treatments, and the money to afford to have those treatments done, to help you be comfortable. Also we are not given trial vaccinations that have all these other side affects to them. So there is a huge ethical issue, when you think about this disease it is a serious and deadly disease, that should allow for everyone no matter where they are from, to have the same type of treatments that others are allowed to have. South Africa should not be subject to deadlier vaccine than someone who lives in America. The World Medical Association has banned all human subjects to be tested on for this vaccination. The South Africa’s Constitution, contains a bill of rights outlining that all African people have the same rights, to dignity, life equality, privacy and access to health care.

They have the same types of business ethics that Americans have, in the health care industry, they should be allowed to have the same rights that Americans have in order to keep this World at peace. Everyone should be treated fairly.

When you think about other countries, you may possibly think about how many strict and unethical are compared to the United States. However in Russia many managers decide to deal with the employers rather than to work with them. Russia has taken over individual freedom and rights. They are taken over by government and ownership of companies. Causing Russia to be run different than the
United States. In America we strive in freedom of speech, rights, thoughts and just being an individual. This causes ethical issues between Russian and Americans. In fact, a US Department of Commerce report has noted that ethical issues, including bribery, extortion, murder and mafia penetration, present a major obstacle that American businesses encounter in Russia (International Trade Administration, 1992). As a Western businessman working in Russia noted recently, ‘Business ethics in Russia? “I have never heard of it.” (Taylor et al., 1997). Conversely, as Russian firms do business with the US, they are finding that Americans practice their ‘ethics’ very differently, especially with respect to manager–employee salary differentials and job security. Rafik I. Beekun, Professor of Management, University of Nevada, Reno, Managerial Sciences, Puffer and McCarthy, 1995. American and Russians have been doing trades and agreements with each other for many years, despite the difference that each country has. Many of Russian decisions are run by Russian Orthodox Church, which a high rank in behavioral decisions that are made for each person. In Russia they believe actions are ethical if they are providing the greatest of human welfare. Russia and America view and practice the ethics very different in the business world, many Americans do what they are suppose to do according to the ethics of the business, and what codes that they have. Many, Russians do things according to what suits the ethics of themselves, and also the Russian Orthodox Church. Rather than deal with individuals as one they deal with what will benefit everyone.

To each an equal share. When a company distributes its yearly bonuses, each eligible party should receive a portion equal to every other eligible party. To: each according to individual need. Resources should be allocated to individuals or
Departments in terms of the level of need they experience. According to Deutsch
(1985), need is stressed when the welfare of recipients is being targeted, and thus this rule tends to be rejected in the US. To: each according to individual effort. Everything else being equal, employees should receive pay increases or pay cuts in direct proportion to their level of effort. Only merit matters and no other consideration should be taken into account. Giacobbe-Miller et al.’s (1998) research suggests that US managers view payment based on productivity as being fairer than payment based on either need or equality. . “A Comparison of Russian and US Pay Allocation Decisions, Distributive Justice Judgments and Productivity under Different Payment Conditions.” By: Miller, D.J. and Victorov, V. 1998.

In America most companies due give out bonuses, but they are not to equal pay, many are given more than others due to a few factors, work ability, years on the job, experience and position that they hold at the company. Also in Russia they have a statement that pay cuts and pay raises should be given out to the level of effort, so if someone may have not been with the company as long but they are doing the job at the same level as someone that has been with the company for awhile than they should be receiving the same amount of money. Ethics of each country is different and within these two countries we view ethics different. In America there are many people who lose their jobs due to others getting raises and the company not being able to pay those so they let them go, where as in Russia they try to pay everyone at equal pay. This article has really shown me that every country has different ethical believes as a whole, not saying that one is more right than the other or that one countries ethic believes have a higher standard, but it does show that even in comparison to Russia and America, we are two very strong countries who value the workers and the people who live in the country, but their our different ways to make sure that the ethics of each one is being valued. Russia still has a problem with corruption much more than in America, which make America stand out for the ethics it places on the companies of the business world.
No country is any more right than the other when it comes to the ethical behavior for their company, but it is important that we do learn from one another, and maybe pick up new traits and ethics professionally, in order to try and make this country more as a whole rather than separate and judge the way one country deals with the ethics of the business world. If we do this we can grow as a hole and also come together and this could truly benefit each country. You can never learn bad knowledge when ethics are in play for the company that you are working for as long as you are doing what is asked of you. Using the ethics that you are taught, when joining a business will only strengthen you as a whole and also as an individual.
