Incomplete Information
Incomplete information is a leading cause of conflict. One of the best examples of this was our class discussion on the Jonah Creighton case this past week. There were many different views seen in class over what Jonah did wrong or whether or not he did anything wrong. Had the case included more information, maybe there would have been a smaller range of views seen by all the students.
Some of the missing information was 1.) how did the recruiters know Martin Blanks is black, 2.) do England and Australia have discrimination laws comparable to the U.S., 3.) was the company based in the U.S., and 4.) if so, do their branches in other countries have to follow U.S. laws.
Had we been privy to this information, perhaps there would have been less confusion in the debate we had in class.
