Discussion
Congratulations! We have now finished studying the theories for the first segment of the class. Next week we will begin looking at some specific issues in business ethics. Now, however, we will pause for questions.
Our discussion board work this week is to post at least one question. You can ask anything related to the theories we have studied so far. Then, I will respond to all the questions in my Prof's video. So, this is a great chance to straighten out any uncertainties you may have.
The theories are listed below.
This is an easy 15 points. Just ask 1 question and you will get the full 15 points for this week’s discussion board. (Note: Deadline is noon Tuesday.)
Here are the theories we have studied, along with a few notes and distinctions.
Duty Theories (Chapter 2)
Perennial Duties Duties to self
Duties to others
Fairness Treat equals equally, unequals unequally
Veil of ignorance
Kant Universalization
Treat others as ends, not means
Dates for completion Please post your questions by noon Tuesday!!
Note: The forum is titled "Review Questions Week 7" and is NOT the Questions for the Professor, which is the first one on top of the discussion board page and is for general questions.
