For questions 6-10, read the passage and answer the questions that
follow:
At a time when impressive breakthroughs in technology are
providing new and better products and services, when improved
communications are transforming thw world into a global village,
and when democracies are sprouting in former communist lands, we
are simultaneously witnessing events that makie us questioin
whether so much progress is indeed "progress".
For example, we see reports of widespread bribery by Italina and
Japanese government officials, exorbitant salaries for executives
in North America, extensive environmental pollution in eastern
Europe, and other instances of immoral or morally questionable
conduct in our organizations. In many otherwise prospeous and
afluent cities, we see an increase in the numbers of homeless
people. Even those who are fortunate enough to have a job find
that work is not only not an opportunity for growth, but a source
of anxiety and insecurity.
In the popular media as well as in academic journals, we see great
interest in the proposition that business and other organizations
leaders need to become more responsible not just ot their stock
jolders but also to other stake holders- consumers, employees,
suppliers,government, and locla communites.
Put simply, the quality of life and perhaps the survivial of
society depend on the moral caliber of its members. This moral
caliber, however, is largely determined by people in leadership
positions. The way leaders function in their positions of
influence directly contributes to strengthening pr weakening the
moral fiber or society. The lives of Buddha, Mohammed, Lao-Tzu,
Gandhi and Socrates attest to their salutary influence in their
own way as well as for all time.
A human being functions not just through the physical body but
also through the use of the intellect and the will. The intellect
penetrates those deep levels of reality that are spiritual in
nature but that the physical senses and processes cannot access.
It does this through abstract concepts and ideas that help to make
sense of and give meaning to the acts in the light of spiritual
knowledge. It helps us to make moral choices in living a
spiritually guided life.
How do we describe the concept of spirituality and its place in
that domain? Spirituality is difficult to define in a manner that
is universally acceptablke because religious beliefs and rites
differ widely age to age and from one society to another. However,
if we analyze the spiritual experience per se and its behavioral
manifestations among individuals of different religious
backgrounds, there is much accord on the understanding and
appreciation of the essence of spirit at three levels: cognitive,
affective, and outward behavior.
At a cognitive level,spiritual experience represents a realization
that,a t the core of human existence, there is set of virtues and
vices. Virtues - prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance- are
good habits that enable us to stirve toward relizng our full
potential. Ideally, the goal of human life is to live these values
and overcome the vices.
At an affective or emotional level, the spiritual experience
represents a complete trust and dependence on such virtues. In its
most sublime, the spiritual experience represents a complete
identification with these values,or with an individual embodying
these values, tha aim being to achieve some forme of enduring
blissful state of existence.
How is the spiritual experience expressed in outward behavior?
What are the sources of the norms andd principles within the
spiritual domain? Response to such questions generally come from
prescriptions of moral observance of the laws. It is not a
question of an act being legal or illegal, but whether the act is
good or evil. A morally good act is necessarily an expression of a
spirtual act.
The ability to distinguish between morally good and evil acts is
critical to the formation of character. Knowing ehtical principles
alone is of little value unless we make an effort to habitually
incorporate these principles in our behaviour.
In the final analysis, the reward of the spiritual experience is
that it enables each individual to grow and fully realize the
tremendous potential unique to that person. If a good moral
character is of the essence of every human being, thern with much
greater reason does it become so of leaders who, in the words of
Stanford management professor Harold Leavitt, by their "vision,
values, and determination, add soul to the organization".
