Whistle-blowing is when an employee at a company, knows that the company as a whole, or individual people who work for the company, are committing serious crimes and tells the press about it. It is important, because the people have a right to know if a company, or people who work for the company, are committing serious crimes against the average person. A recent example of whistle-blowing occurred when it was revealed that Toyota knew that some of their cars had defective brakes and did nothing to correct the problem, or when it was revealed that BP knew some of their oil rigs were not safe and could have a serious accident and BP did nothing to prevent an accident. Whistle-blowing gets its name from referees that sees something wrong during a game and blow a whistle to stop the game.
