How does something like the Pinto case happen? The Gioia article from the Journal of Business Ethics provides the very personal perspective of someone intimately involved in the decision-making process. Using solid ethical reasoning, analyze Ford’s cost-benefit analysis from the perspective of virtue ethics, and make comparisons with analyses from the following other perspectives from the text: ethical relativism, egoism, Kant’s moral theory, contractarianism

Using the material from Chapter 4 of the text and your own independent research, you will draft an informative essay that makes the connection between a theoretical understanding of CSR and how it is reflected in the strategies of a fictional organization.
Read the fictional scenario and address the checklist items.
Scenario (fictional):
A small town in South Carolina has a paper factory, PaperTown, which releases toxic fumes into the atmosphere. This factory however, employs the majority of people in the town. For decades the air has smelled like rotten eggs and the pollution from the factory even reaches several surrounding towns. Most of the retirees from the factory have breathing/lung problems as a result of the fumes. Although it is clear to everyone that this factory needs to change or be shut down, the town’s citizens feel that they cannot afford to have it shut down as this provides the only major employment in the surrounding area within a 60-mile radius. The citizens believe that this company provides the greatest good for the greatest number of people in the community and have actively thwarted attempts to shut it down by various federal and state agencies.
The company pays slightly lower wages than they have to because they use a shareholder model. A new CEO has just come on board from an industry leader outside the area. They are considering how the company can best eliminate the toxic fumes and thus change the company. The CEO wants you to present them with an explanation of the company’s social responsibility (because there is no current CSR policy) and the ethical issues involved and provide some suggestions.
Checklist for your explanation to the new CEO:
Referring to CSR initiatives, identify which pillars of responsibility they have neglected: economic, legal, ethical, or philanthropic. Define the two pillars.
Discuss the current ethical and corporate social responsibility (CSR) concerns at PaperTown. Give at least two specific examples.
Discuss the purpose of instituting CSR and ethics at PaperTown.
Contrast the existing ethical reasoning the company employees seem to use with a preferred ethical approach from the reading.
Using your preferred ethical approach, explore how the company could address the CSR and ethical issues.
Your submission must include a minimum of two references. The first being the course textbook, and the second is an article,

The relationship between law and ethics has been subject to much discussion over

The relationship between law and ethics has been subject to much discussion over time. Is there a common standard? Is one “stricter” than the other? In a well-written, cohesive essay, explore the relationship of law and ethics. As you do so, identify and discuss specific examples to illustrate each of the following:
Law and ethics overlap in purpose and/or form (i.e., the law tends to enforce ethical standards or is parallel to societal ethics)
Law is ethically neutral (i.e., law has no ethical purpose or content)
Because law is developed through compromise, the law may actually be unethical (i.e. the purpose or effect of the law may be unethical)
Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English.

THE ELEMENTS OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY
Initial Post Instructions
The study of ethics and philosophy is one that brings many different kinds of “thinkers” together. One person’s philosophy on ethics is another person’s philosophy on evil. We will be working this term on constructing personal ethical bases and understanding how ethical codes (both personal and professional) are created and followed.
To start us thinking about the different areas of philosophy and ethics, and how we fit into the different molds or world views, let’s imagine the following scenario:
It is 2019. The federal law banning female circumcision is still under appeal in the courts. You are a nurse assisting a plastic surgeon at a local hospital. The plastic surgeon comes from a country where they practice “female circumcision”. This practice is also sometimes called “female genital mutilation”.
Fire Eyes: Female Circumcision, Written by Soraya Mire, Directed by Soraya Mire, Ethnographer Soraya Mire, Narrated by Carol Christiansen (New York, NY: Filmakers Library, 1995), 57 minutes
You are not a member of the doctor’s culture but reside in a state where this practice is still legal. The plastic surgeon has agreed to perform this practice on a young girl, the daughter of a friend of the surgeon. The friend has authorized the procedure. The girl only knows this is a custom. You did not know that today you would be asked to assist in this procedure. You can refuse to participate (your job may be on the line in the future due to that decision). Or you can assist the surgeon. What ought you to do? We now want to examine the ethical issues involved. To do this, let’s look at the role of relativism, moral truths, and other issues.
For the initial post, address the following questions:
What would a subjective moral relativist say about what this doctor is doing? Do you agree with the subjective moral relativist? Why or why not?
Examine what a cultural moral relativist would say here. Do you agree with the cultural relativist? Why or why not?
Name and evaluate general criticisms of cultural relativism as being the wrong moral approach.
Is there an objective moral truth about any of the possible actions by the nurse and/or doctor in this case? Why or why not?

The paper should reflect on this week’s films noting major themes and topics. It should also reference and cite a reading from the course.
The paper is worth 50 points: 30 points for reflecting on the major points of the films [reflect on the films you do not have to provide a full summary, but note what stood out to you in both films],  10 points for citing a reading from the course and explaining its connection to the film(s) [cite the reading], 5 points for organization (have an introduction, body with analysis, and conclusion), and 5 points for formatting (MLA or APA, the films and reading should be cited on a References/Works Cited page).  I do not take off points for spelling or grammar, but it is important to organize your paper in a way that is clear to the reader. You do not need to summarize the entire film(s), but choose key moments to include in your analysis.
Choose major themes you want to highlight. (30 points)
Reflection should discuss in detail scenes from the film (at least 2 scenes from each)
Describe how these scenes connect to larger themes throughout the film
You must cite at least one of the readings from the course and explain how it connects to the film(s) (10 points)
Think of the concepts from the reading and larger themes to conceptualize how they relate to the films
Be sure to reread and edit your paper.
Please note these films contains depictions of violence.  Viewing and discussing these materials can be demanding and challenging in ways that are often unexpected. As noted in the syllabus If there is an assignment that touches on a topic that would cause undue harm or concern, reach out to me to discuss possible solutions.

Instructions
For this assignment propose a scenario where you or someone you know are confronted with a moral dilemma relating to cultural diversity and multiculturalism. It cannot be the same as what was covered in the week one discussion.
Cultural diversity refers to religious, sexual, racial, and other forms of social difference. A moral dilemma is a situation in which one must make a decision between two or more options such that the options involve seemingly ethical and/or unethical conduct. Address the following questions:
What was the situation? What did the dilemma involve?
What would a subjective moral relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that?
What would a cultural relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? Is that approach correct?
What did you or the person confronting the dilemma decide to do? What moral justification did you or they give? Is that approach morally correct?
Was there an objective moral truth (the objectively right thing to do) in this situation? Why or why not?
Remember, the dilemma should be detailed with description and dialogue. Regard the questions as requirements. This is an essay, so rather than simply providing a list of brief answers to questions, provide an in-depth reflection regarding a difficult ethical situation..
Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.
Requirements
Length: 1.5-2 pages (not including title page or references page)
1-inch margins
Double spaced
12-point Times New Roman font
