please answer all questions by number of questions under neath the answer for each one. will attach the document need it. these are the questions:
1- Post a link to a current news report that raises a business-related ethical issue. Identify the issue and analyze its implications for shareholders, managers, employees and customers. Distinguish between legal and ethical implications. Or comment on an issue that another contributor has posted.
2- Do you agree with Hooker that Jennifer’s choice to break her agreement passes the utilitarian test? Is it a strength or a weakness of the utilitarian test that applying it does not always lead to the same moral evaluation of an action as applying the generalization test does?
3- in what fundamental way does the virtue ethics test differ from the generalization and utilitarian tests? How does appeal to virtue involve purposes and the concept of integrity?
4- Does Walmart’s bribery cover up pass Hooker’s generalization, utilitarian and virtue tests? How could the same company that responded to Katrina (see the previous question) cover-up violations of US and Mexican law?
5- Why, according to Hooker, does reason require that we choose the action that maximizes total net utility? (You may wish to discuss some of the difficulties in applying the utilitarian test that Hooker mentions.)
6- Hours before Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf coast in 2005, Walmart CEO Lee Scott issued the following instructions: “This Company will respond to the level of this disaster. A lot of you are going to have to make decisions above your level. Make the best decision that you have with the information that’s available to you at the time, and , above all, do the right thing.” Does Walmart’s response to the Katrina disaster support Steven Horwitz’ claim that private enterprise is superior to governmental action in responding to natural disasters. Remember: justify your claims with reasons.
