What actions of organizations fall under the umbrella of corporate social responsibility?

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW:

Business Ethics are moral standards of conduct expected of a business by society. Social Responsibility involves the philosophies, policies, procedures, and actions that have the primary goal of enhancing society. Let us apply the concepts.

CASE ASSIGNMENT:

Utilize at least 3 sources that are not included as background readings in this course and are new to you. These sources, for example,can be found from searching the Trident Online Library databases. (See attached word document with background reading and required resources from Trident Online)

Read Case: TOMS Shoes describes a unique business model combining for-profit and nonprofit philosophies into a corporate social responsibility model.

Naeini, A.; Dutt, A.; Angus, J. et.al. (June 7, 2015). A shoe for a shoe, and a smile. Business Today. Retrieved from https://www.businesstoday.in/magazine/lbs-case-study/toms-shoes-shoes-for-free-cause-marketing-strategy-case-study/story/219444.html

Address the following in a 3- to 4-page academic essay that demonstrates your critical-thinking skills. It should be written for an audience of business owners. As an ethics expert working for a national ethics association, you have been asked to address the following:

1. Research another organization that is also high on corporate social responsibility. Compare and contrast their CSR approach with the CSR approach of TOMS Shoes. (I have attached in the word document a book that refers to Patagonia’s CSR approach that can be utilized to compare & contrast).

2. What actions of organizations fall under the umbrella of “corporate social responsibility”? Give three examples of CSR activities beyond what you have learned from TOMS and the organization you discussed in this assignment.

3. Is it expected that successful organizations also have a CSR component in its values? Discuss by giving two additional employer examples.

ASSIGNMENT CRITERIA:

Bring in subject matter viewpoints (authors or speakers) to validate and support your writing. Utilize at least 3 sources that are not included as background readings in this course.

This assignment should include third-person voice. Write a well-integrated paper with a strong introduction and conclusion, and use a few section headings (e.g., do not simply follow a Q & A format).

Grading Rubric Attached

Is euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide ever morally permissible?Are there some situations in which one might be acceptable but not the other?

Opinion on Euthanasia

In your opinion, is euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide ever morally permissible?Are there some situations in which one might be acceptable but not the other? Explain your answers in detail, and give examples of both their strengths and weaknesses (how can you defend your viewpoint, and what are some arguments that can be posed against your opinion)?

May reference the authors in the chapter to compare and contrast your position, but what am really looking for is your own thoughts, ideas, and opinions; do not simply want a summary of the articles in the chapter. Also feel free to mention your profession’s code of ethics, if relevant. Remember that your essay needs to be at least 5 full pages in length, 6 preferred.

Remember that this is a philosophy class and all statements must be supported by “good reasoning.” Try not to use fallacies in this or in your response to other essays and rules of courtesy always apply. A fallacy includes a resort to authority. For example, you may be tempted to answer that your code of ethics comes from the Bible or from the law. No problem, but that only gives us the source, not the specific code. Instead, you could say that you follow the concept of compassion and caring for others. Now tell us why this is a good ethic to follow. We do not need to know the source, because that is not what is being discussed. The source could be your parent or your best friend or a law, but just because it comes from these sources does not explain why it is right.

Explain how we can turn normative commitments into descriptive laws and what does it mean to do that,according to her explanation of Aristotle’s virtue ethics (video link)?

Virtue essay

According to Sommers, what is the main problem today and what is her basic answer both in terms of content and scope? And then, from the lecture by Dr. Gendler, explain how we can turn normative commitments into descriptive laws and what does it mean to do that,according to her explanation of Aristotle’s virtue ethics (video link)? Do you think it is fair to say that virtue ethics, as Tamar Gendler explains this moral theory, is a type of human programming and, if so, does this view challenge or undercut the idea of good human behavior as a matter of choice rather than response without thought? Explain. Do you think this approach of Professor Gendler to how virtue ethics becomes part of us goes along with Professor Sommers’ thesis on what is needed in schools today or not? Explain. Finally, what part of Christina Sommers’ analysis and proposal you find convincing, if any, and what part of it, if any, do you find questionable?

What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates?What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view?

Greater Good Analysis

For this week’s assignment respond to one of the following options, and include Option 1, 2, or 3 as part of your heading.

Option 1: The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates?What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your approach to what a utilitarian and ethical egoist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

Option 2: In the second option, name and describe in detail a key specific and recent social technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your moral approach to what a utilitarian and social contract ethicist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

Option 3: John Doe, Patient One, is in late stage of kidney disease. If he does not receive a new kidney, then he is predicted to die within a week. Doe is 45, single, and has no children. Doctors theorize that Doe damaged his kidney by not following a low-salt diet. Doe inherited one million dollars and is known for giving money to charity. Without a transplant, he will probably be forced to spend all his money searching for a kidney outside of the usual legal channels. Patient Two is Jane Doe (no relation to John). Patient Two is a mother of two children (ages 21 and 24). She is divorced and 55 years old. She developed kidney problems due to eating a high-fat and high-sugar diet. If she does not receive a kidney within one month, doctors believe she will die. Patient Three is an orphan. This orphan lives in a state facility. She was born with a genetic condition that constantly damages her kidney. The only known approach to her condition is to provide her with a kidney transplant every so often. She is 11 and has already undergone two kidney transplants. She will perish in two months if she does not receive another transplant.

All three patients are at the same hospital. The hospital only has one kidney to give out. The orphan’s birth parents were known to be of a religion that is opposed to organ donation. The other patients come from religions that do not oppose organ donation. Who should get the kidney? Why should that candidate receive it over the others? Devise a course of social action and a solution for this case by using the ethics of egoism and then utilitarianism to a key moral conflict involving health care in this case. Appraise the interests of diverse populations (in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) and how they relate to the case. Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

For all the options:

Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.
text book: Rachels, S., & Rachels, J. (2019). The elements of moral philosophy (9th ed.). Mcgraw-Hill Education.

Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

You will submit the following:

An audiovisual presentation that presents one of the options above. Be sure to give equal time to each element. Doing a PowerPoint presentation with audio recorded on the slides is preferred.Refer to the Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial located in the Required Resources in this assignment.

Provide a transcript of anything said in the recording aloud that does not appear as text on a slide. This transcript can be provided as a Word document or placed in the Notes section on the PowerPoint slides.

The link or a scan of the article mentioning any health technology, social technology, or case you are reporting on. If you made up the case,indicate that in your report. If you choose to do option #3 (the case about a shortage of transplant kidneys), your article would likely be an article about the shortage of transplant organs, or a shortage of people signing up to be transplant donors, or the status of educating people about being donors, etc.

Presentation Requirements

Length: 4 minutes narrated presentation

Slide length: 4 (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide)

Explain in one or two sentences what the theory argues is the correct way to determine what is right.

Complete the Ethical Theories Comparison Chart

Over the course of thousands of years, various theories have been offered to explain the best way to determine what is ethical. The search for “good” or correct actions and thoughts has provided several strong approaches that are actively used today. While all of the various ethical theories seek to lead one to being ethical, they differ on how this should be accomplished. Each approach has its own strengths and weaknesses. It is important to understand these differences when analyzing ethical decisions from various perspectives.

For this Assignment, you are to add to the chart you constructed in Units 2, 3, and 5 by adding Ross’ prima facie duties and ethics of care. As with the other chart assignments, you will be providing the following for prima facie duties and ethics of care, using your own words:

How is “good” determined? Explain in one or two sentences what the theory argues is the correct way to determine what is right. This is the main argument of the theory in a nutshell.

Most Noted Philosopher(s): Name the philosopher or philosophers most closely associated with the theory.
Major Strengths: Using phrases or sentences, list at least two major strengths that are specific to that theory.
Major Weaknesses: Using phrases or sentences, list at least two major weaknesses that are specific to that theory.
You may format the chart any way you wish to include all of the required elements.

This is your final submission of the Ethics Chart.
