  15. Group Work • Do you think Steve Jobs can be considered a Hero for his innovations in technology, business and science?

  16. The Dark Side • Jobs never created better conditions for his workers in China and other countries • Instead he his behind other industry standards and allowed inhumane conditions to persist • These practices where against national laws and against Apple’s own code of conduct • Many of these violations continue according to PrakashSethi, Author at the Cargnegie Council of Ethics and affairs

  17. The Dark Side • Apple uses it’s power to push people around, and accomplish what it needs to • Lower prices on materials • Larger spaces and more workers • Faster production and intense pressure on workers • This is not different than other companies in the industry. However, as industry leaders, Steve Jobs had the opportunity to create a better situation for all workers.

  18. How is the money distributed when you buy an iphone?

  19. What would Zimbardo Say? • Although Steve Jobs tried to make excellent products for customers, many of his decisions were not for others, but for personal satisfaction, and more profit. • This shows Jobs is not motivated to help others, nor was he ready to risk his personal safety

  20. A Reluctant Hero • When given the opportunity to help people in need (his own workers), Steve Jobs was not able to sacrifice some of his income for others • Altruism is the trait of helping people just to help them, for no benefit in return • Steve Jobs is not altruistic, but egotistical • He only wanted to help people (the customer) in order to receive praise, profit, publicity and recognition in the business or technological world

  21. Philanthropy or not? • Unlike Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, Jobs did not sign a “Giving Pledge.” • Steve Jobs philanthropy advisor commented: • “He’s gotten a lot of criticism for not giving away tons of money,” Vermilion said. “But I think it’s a bum rap. There’s only so many hours in a week, and he created so many incredible products. He really contributed to culture and society.”

  22. Do you agree? Why or why not?

  23. Conclusion • Steve Jobs did a lot of amazing things in business and technology • He revolutionized certain kinds of products and created a company or brand that everyone reveres • He did not try hard enough to improve conditions for his workers • We are unsure of how much money he gave to people who needed it more than him • We should be very careful when we discuss what leaders or important Icons do and how they should be perceived by the public.
