Response to the case of john smith

I think john should sell the names, in the end he's going to be doing more for his employees buy blurring this line then he would be able to do by being ethical. and when you really think about it what is the car company going to do with the names and numbers? Call them or e mail them, that is by far less damaging then losing everyones job. I think our scale of ethics has not yet developed itself to a point where it can accurately judge the grey areas of ethical distortion. In this case by being unethical to customers John is looking out and doing good for all of his employees.

If you were Johns employees and he said to you, "I can sell these names and we can all keep our jobs or I can be Ethical and not sell them and the company goes under", what would you tell him to do?

A worm in the Apple

       We live in an age where technology has become a standard in our lives, especially within the younger generation. One thing often overlooked is how we obtain such devices. Apples factory Foxconn is in the public eye recently for its treatment of workers. According to Forbes.com there are 235000 workers at this facility and the average wage among workers is about $1.78 per hour. They live in crowded dorm style rooms after working 10 hour shifts in silence. Also suicide nets had to be put up around the building because workers were jumping out of the building and falling to their deaths due to such conditions.

Do you think it is the worlds fault for the demand of these high tech items or do you think it is the business men in america and china for forcing these people to work like this so they can reap all the benefits? Also Should we limit the amount of money individual humans can absorb so that others may benefit from more income?
