Questions 1-10
Aspirin’s origins go back at least as early as 1758. In that year, Englishman Edward Stone noticed a distinctive bitter flavor in the bark of the willow tree. To Stone, this particular bark seemed to have much in common with “Peruvian Bark,” which had been used medicinally since the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria. Stone decided to test the effectiveness of the willow bark. He obtained some, pulverized it into tiny pieces, and conducted experiments on its properties. His tests demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains. In 1763, Stone presented his findings to the British Royal Society.
Several decades later, further studies on the medicinal value of the willow bark were being conducted by two Italian scientists. These chemists, Brugnatelli and Fontana, determined that the active chemical that was responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was the chemical salicin, which is the active ingredient of today’s aspirin.
The name “aspirin” is the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin, properly known as acetylsalicylic acid. The trade name “aspirin” was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the Bayer Drug Company in Germany. The first bottles of aspirin actually went on sale to the public just prior to the turn of the century, in 1899.

Questions 11-20
Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen, Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841 Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S. naval frigate that was returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the publication of Moby Dick, Melville’s popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, on one level the saga of the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of humanity against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville’s literary metamorphosis from romantic adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville’s popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.

Up to now, confessions that have been obtained from defendants in a hypnotic state have not been admitted into evidence by courts in the United States. Experts in the field of hypnosis have found that such confessions are not completely reliable. Subjects in a hypnotic state may confess to crimes they did not commit for one of two reasons. Either they fantasize that they committed the crimes or they believe that others want them to confess.
A landmark case concerning a confession obtained under hypnosis went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the case of Layra V. Denno, a suspect was hypnotized by a psychiatrist for the district attorney; in a posthypnotic state the suspect signed three separate confessions to a murder. The Supreme Court ruled that the confessions were invalid because the confessions had been the only evidence against him.
1 This passage would probably be assigned reading in a course on
(A) American law
(B) psychiatric healing
(C) parapsychology
(D) philosophy
Jawab: A
Chamber music received its name because it was originally intended to be performed in small rooms in private homes rather than huge concert halls or theaters. Today it has evolved into small ensemble music in which each performer in the ensemble plays an individual part.
The compositions written for this type of performance can easily be classified into three distinct periods, each with its style of music and instrumentation. In the earliest period (1450-1650), the viol and other instrumental families developed considerably, and instrumental music took its first steps toward equal footing with vocal music. In the second period (1650-1750), trio sonatas dominated. These ensemble compositions were often written for two violins and a cello; the harpsichord was also featured in various compositions of this period. In the modern period (after 1750), the preponderance of chamber music was written for the string quartet, an ensemble composed of two violins, a viola, and a cello.

The next hormone is epinephrine, or adrenaline. This hormone is a natural secretion of the adrenal glands in the human body. Its primary function in the human body is to assist the body in coping with sudden surges of stress. When a person unexpectedly finds himself in a stressful situation filled with fear or anger, a large amount of epinephrine is released into the blood and the body responds with an increased heartbeat, higher blood pressure, and conversion of glycogen into glucose for energy to enable the body to deal with the stress.
It is possible to extract epinephrine from the adrenal glands of animals or to synthesize it chemically in order to put it to further use. It is used in the treatment of severe asthma, where it relaxes the large muscles of the bronchi, the large air passages leading into the lungs. It is also used in cases of severe allergic reaction or cardiac arrest.

The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but
in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain,
Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a
climax forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at
that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of
trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron
ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain
developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and
besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
(A) The advantages of using wood in the colonies
(B) The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies
(C) The roots of the Industrial Revolution
(D) The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron
2. The word strikingly in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
(A) realistically.
(B) dramatically.
(C) completely.
(D) immediately.
3. Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the colonial period?
(A) They contained only a few types of trees.
(B) They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard.
(C) They had little or no economic value.
(D) They covered the entire continent
4. According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in eastern cities
(A) rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce.
(B) was much higher than it was in Britain.
(C) was slightly higher than in previous years.
(D) decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood.
5. What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the passage?
(A) They were more expensive than American houses.
(B) They were generally built with imported materials.
(C) They were typically smaller than homes in North America.
(D) They were usually built from materials other than wood
6. Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3?
(A) To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
(B) To give an example of a product made with wood compounds
(C) To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare
(D) To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies
7. The phrase follow suit in paragraph 4 means
(A) do the same thing.
(B) make an attempt.
(C) have the opportunity.
(D) take a risk.
8. According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?
(A) It led to advances in technology.
(B) It was less expensive than wood smelting.
(C) It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting.
(D) It stimulated the demand for wood.

Definisi Pengertian Etika Bisnis Menurut Para Ahli
Menurut Velasques (2002)
Etika bisnis merupakan studi yang dikhususkan mengenai moral yang benar dan salah. Studi ini berkonsentrasi pada standar moral sebagaimana diterapkan dalam kebijakan, institusi, dan perilaku bisnis.
Menurut Steade et al (1984: 701)
Etika bisnis adalah standar etika yang berkaitan dengan tujuan dan cara membuat keputusan bisnis.
Menurut Hill dan Jones (1998)
Etika bisnis merupakan suatu ajaran untuk membedakan antara salah dan benar guna memberikan pembekalan kepada setiap pemimpin perusahaan ketika mempertimbangkan untuk mengambil keputusan strategis yang terkait dengan masalah moral yang kompleks.
Menurut Sim (2003)
Etika adalah istilah filosofis yang berasal dari "etos," kata Yunani yang berarti karakter atau kustom. Definisi erat dengan kepemimpinan yang efektif dalam organisasi, dalam hal ini berkonotasi kode organisasi menyampaikan integritas moral dan nilai-nilai yang konsisten dalam pelayanan kepada masyarakat.
Demikianlah artikel etika bisnis menurut para ahli yang bisa kami sampaikan kepada Anda. Semoga informasi singkat tentang defenisi Etika Bisnis Menurut Para Ahli yang disampaikan diatas, kiranya dapat bermanfaat bagi Anda para pembaca.
Prinsip-prinsip dalam Etika Bisnis
Sebelum berbicara jauh mengenai prinsip-prinsip etis dalam bisnis dan untuk lebih memahami konsep dan pengertiannya, berikut ini adalah beberapa kasus pendekatan mengenai evaluasi moral antara lain :
1. Kasus Pengesahan Undang – Undang Apartheid Pertama
Sistem Apartheid yang dikuasai oleh Partai Nasional khusus Kulit Putih melegalkan diskriminasi rasial pada seluruh aspek kehidupan. Sistem apartheid ini menghapuskan seluruh penduduk kulit hitam dari hak politik dan hak sipilnya seperti mereka tidak dapat memilih, tidak dapat jabatan politis yang penting, tidak dapat bergabung secaara kolektif, atau pun hak atas Undang-undang. Hal inilah yang mengakibatkan kulit hitam melakukan demontrasi berkali – kali melawan pemerintahan kulit putih Afrika Selatan. Aksi tersebut langsung ditanggapi oleh pemerintah Kulit Putih Afrika Selatan dengan pembunuhan, penangkapan di mana – mana serta represi. Termasuk ditangkapnya Nelson Mandela (anak pimpinan kulit hitam).
2. Kasus Pertentangan akan Kedudukan Perusahaan Caltex di Afrika Selatan.
Hal ini dipicu adanya penentangan yang dilakukan para pemegang saham agar Caltex memutuskan hubungan dengan pemerintah Afrika Selatan dengan alasan bahwa orang kulit hitam tidak punya hak di wilayah kulit putih. Perdebatan tentang apakah Caltex perlu melanjutkan operasinya di Afrika Selatan ini merupakan perdebatan moral. Argumen yang diajukan oleh kedua belah pihak tersebut mengacu pada pertimbangan moral, yang dapat dikelompokkan menjadi 4 jenis standar moral yaitu utilitarianisme, hak, keadilan, dan perhatian. Pertimbangan moral yang diajukan manajer Caltex antara lain jika perusahaan tetap melaksanakan operasi di Afrika Selatan maka kesejahteraan orang kulit hitam dan kulit putih akan meningkat, namun jika perusahaan pergi maka orang kulit hitamlah yang akan mengalami kerugian besar. Pernyataan inilah yang disebut dengan standar moralitas utilitarian yaitu prinsip moral yang mengklaim bahwa sesuatu dianggap benar bila mampu menekan biaya sosial dan memberikan keuntungan sosial yang lebih besar.
Pernyataan manajer Caltex yang akan memberikan perhatian khusus bagi pekerja kulit hitam dan pertanggungjawaban akan kesejahteraaan mereka inilah yang disebut Etika memberi perhatian. Artinya etika yang menekankan pada usaha memberikan perhatian terhadap kesejahteraan orang sekitar. Sedangkan perjuangan dari seorang Nelson Mandela yang sangat berani inlah yang disebut dengan etika kebaikan. Hal ini dikarenakan jenis evaluasi yang didasarkan atas karakter moral seseorang atau kelompok..
Perspektif imparsial dari teori hak tidak meyatakan baywa Feuerstein kewajiban moral apa pun pada pegawainya setelah terjadi kebakaran tersebut. Keadilan impaesial tidak mewajibkan perusahaan untuk memberikan bantuan pada para pegawai pada saat mereka tidak bekerja ataupun pemiliki harus membangun kembali pabrik baru di tempat yang sama.
Parsialitas dan Perhatian
Kita memiliki kewajiban untuk memberikan perhaitian khusus pada individu-individu tertentu yang menjalin hubungan erat dengan kita, khususnya hubungan ketergantungan merupakan konsep utama dalam etika memberi perhatian. Penekanan dalam etika perhatian :
Kita hidup dalam suatu rangkaian hubungan dan wajib serta mengembangkan hubungan yang konkret dan bernilai dengan orang lain.
Kita memberikan perhatian khusus kepada orang-orang yang menjalin hubungan baik dengan kita.
Etika perhatian sangat terkait dengan etika komunitarian. Etika komunitarian adalah etika yang melihat komunits dan hubungan yang fundamental.
Tiga bentuk perhatian : perhatian pada sesuatu adalah semacam perhatian atau kepentingan terhadap suatu gagasan atau di mana tidak ada orang kedua yang terlibat. Perhatian terhadap seseorang, dan perhatian dalam arti menjaga. Perhatian dalam arti menjaga merupakan yang dipersayaratkan dalam etika perhatian ini mrip seorang ibu yang menjaga anaknya. Ada dua hal yang perlu diperhatikan yaitu, tidak semua hubungan memilki nilai dan tidak semuanya menciptakan kewajiaba untuk memberi perhatian. Kedua bahwa perhatian kadang menimbulkan konflik.
Moralitas dalam Konteks Internasional.
Perusahaan multinasional sering beroperasi di negara-negara dengan tingkat perkembangan yang sangat berbeda. Sejumlah negara memilki sumnber daya teknis, sosial, ekonomi yang tinggi namun di sejumlah negara lain masih kurang. Yang paling mencolok praktik-praktik budaya di sejumlah negara mungkin sangat berbeda sehingga suatu tindakan kadang memilki arti berbeda dalam dua budaya.
Maka sudah jelas bahwa kondisi lokal khususnya kondisi perkembangan setidaknya perlu dipertimbangkan saat memutuskan apakah suatu perusahaan perlu menerapkan standar dari negara yang lebih maju atau negara yang kurang maju. Sebagian besar menyatakan perusahaan multinasional haruslah mengikuti praktik-praktik lokal, bahwa mereka harus melakukan apa yang diinginkan pemerintah lokal, karena pemerintah tersebut adalah representatif dari warga lokal. Sementara peraturan pemerintah, tingkat perkembangan, dan pemahaman budaya lokal semuanya harus dipertimbangkan saat mengevaluasi etika kebijakan dari tindakan bisnis internasional.
CSR (Coorporite Social Responsibility)
CSR (Coorporite Social Responsibility)
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) merupakan program yang dilakukan oleh sebuah perusahaan sebagai wujud tanggungjawab dan kepedulian sosial. Namun demikian, perlu disadari bahwa CSR bukan semata program sosial yang menjadikan perusahaan sebagai sebuah “lembaga amal” ataupun “bagian dari departemen sosial milik pemerintah”.
Mau tidak mau haruslah diakui bahwa CSR memiliki dua sisi mata uang. Di satu sisi sebagai program kepedulian sosial, sementara di sisi lain merupakan bagian dari perusahaan yang bertujuan mencari keuntungan.
Tantangan yang harus dijawab terkait hal tersebut adalah bagaimana membangun konsep CSR yang benar-benar efektif dalam menjalankan fungsi sosial, namun tidak melupakan tujuan perusahaan untuk mencari keuntungan. Selain itu, bagaimana membangun konsep CSR yang memiliki dampak positif terhadap peningkatan keuntungan perusahaan, namun bukan berarti semata mencari keuntungan melalui “kemasan” tanggungjawab dan kepedulian sosial.
Perlu diketahui, tidak semua perusahaan memiliki program CSR. Bahkan tidak semua perusahaan memiliki divisi Public Relation (PR) atau divisi lain yang biasanya diberikan tugas khusus untuk mengurusi permasalahan CSR. Kalaupun ada perusahaan yang mengagendakan CSR, itu hanya dirangkap oleh divisi lain yang memiliki kedekatan fungsi dalam mencapai tujuan perusahaan untuk mendongkrak penjualan dan meningkatkan keuntungan perusahaan, misalnya divisi pemasaran (marketing).
Alasan bagi perusahaan yang mengambil langkah ini, selain untuk efektifitas anggaran, perusahaan yang seperti ini biasanya memiliki orientasi yang terfokus kepada penjualan dan memperoleh keuntungan semata. Selain itu, ada juga diantara perusahaan tersebut yang hanya membuat program CSR sebagai langkah taktis untuk mendongkrak penjualan dan meningkatkan keuntungan perusahaan.
Bagi perusahaan seperti ini, PR atau CSR dianggap sebagai divisi dan program yang sekadar “menghabiskan uang perusahaan” saja. Selain lemah secara tanggungjawab dan kepedulian sosial, mereka belum menyadari arti penting program jangka panjang untuk keberlangsungan dan peningkatan keuntungan perusahaan di masa yang akan datang. Dengan kata lain, mereka belum menyadari CSR sebagai sebuah program investasi jangka panjang perusahaan.
Sementara itu terkait strategi sebuah perusahaan yang melakukan program CSR semata untuk mendongkrak penjualan dan meningkatkan keuntungan, langkah seperti ini memang ada benarnya juga. Tidak sedikit program-program CSR yang dilakukan perusahaan memiliki dampak secara langsung karena memang sengaja diarahkan untuk mendongkrak penjualan dan peningkatan keuntungan perusahaan.
Program CSR “dadakan” ini biasanya dilakukan dengan disertai publikasi yang diarahkan kepada menarik simpati publik sehingga terdorong untuk membeli produk. Selain itu, ada juga perusahaan yang menerapkan strategi keikutsertaan publik dalam program CSR dengan membeli produk tertentu.
Namun demikian, langkah “instan” mengagendakan program CSR untuk meraup keuntungan seperti ini tidak akan memberikan dampak positif yang bertahan lama. Selain anggaran yang akan terus membengkak, pogram CSR yang memang tidak direncanakan untuk jangka panjang akan menjadikan menurunnya kualitas kinerja divisi yang dibebani pekerjaan yang bukan merupakan tugas utamanya.
Persoalan lain yang akan muncul ketika perusahaan yang menjadi kompetitor menggunakan strategi tandingan yang hampir sama, sama, bahkan dengan teknik yang lebih mutakhir. Penghancuran karakater perusahaan di mata masyarakat dan para konsumen tentunya akan sangat berpengaruh kepada penjualan dan penghasilan perusahaan.
Hal yang juga perlu diingat yaitu kondisi masyarakat dan konsumen saat ini yang sudah cerdas. Mereka dapat membedakan mana perusahaan yang benar-benar melakukan program CSR dan mana perusahaan yang melakukan program CSR hanya untuk mendongkrak penjualan dan meningkatkan keuntungan perusahaan semata.
Tingkat kecerdasan masyarakat dan konsumen ini akan menentukan pilihan mereka untuk membeli sebuah produk yang dipasarkan oleh perusahaan. Selain itu, bagian ini juga yang biasanya dijadikan landasan strategi bagi pihak perusahaan kompetitor untuk menjatuhkan perusahaan saingannya.
Untuk membangun program CSR yang benar-benar berguna bagi masyarakat dan memiliki dampak positif terhadap penjualan dan peningkatan keuntungan perusahaan, dibutuhkan pemberian program yang memiliki manfaat jangka panjang yang sekaligus dikelola dengan melibatkan masyarakat dan stake holder terkait lain secara berkesinambungan.
Program CSR bermanfaat jangka panjang yang dimaksud yaitu program-program yang memiliki dampak positif untuk kemajuan masyarakat dan relasi antara masyarakat dengan perusahaan dalam jangka waktu yang panjang, bahkan kalau memungkinkan dapat menciptaan sebuah hubungan psikologis seumur hidup.
Program ini dikelola dengan mengikutsertakan masyarakat dan mengedepankan kemandirian masyarakat untuk mengurusi keberlanjutan program tersebut. Peran yang diambil perusahaan, dalam hal ini divisi yang membidangi program CSR, sebaiknya berlaku sebagai “pendamping” masyarakat, yang menjembatani komunikasi antara perusahaan dengan masyarakat dan sebaliknya.
Namun demikian, yang perlu diperhatikan dalam proses pengelolaan program CSR yang berbasis masyarakat ini adalah jangan sampai mencampuradukkan antara program CSR dengan program lain dari perusahaan untuk mendongkrak penjualan dan meningkatkan keuntungan. “Internalisasi” produk perusahaan terhadap masyarakat atau komunitas yang menjadi target program CSR sebaiknya dibiarkan berlangsung secara alami.
Dengan kata lain, akan lebih bijak dan akan sangat menguntungkan bagi perusahaan ketika masyarakat atau komunitas yag menjadi target program CSR nantinya akan menjadi PR bagi produk-produk maupun kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh perusahaan. Dengan demikian, perusahaan akan sangat diuntungkan dengan memiliki “tenaga” dan “sumber daya” yang tumbuh dan berkembang dari masyarakat yang nota bene merupakan bagian dari target pemasaran produk-produk perusahaan.
