Case Study 2: You are the head of a regulatory authority in charge of ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Recently, you discovered that a major industrial corporation has been violating environmental regulations by discharging harmful pollutants into a river. Upon investigation, you find that this corporation has strong political connections, and several senior officials are trying to influence you to overlook the violations. Meanwhile, the local community, dependent on the river for their livelihood, is suffering from the pollution, which has led to severe health issues and loss of agricultural productivity. You are also aware that taking strict action against the corporation could lead to job losses and economic downturn in the region. Questions: 1. How would you handle the pressure from political and senior officials while ensuring that environmental laws are upheld? 2. Discuss the conflict between economic considerations and environmental protection in this scenario. How should values such as integrity, transparency, and accountability shape your response? 3.
