MORAL ISSUES IN BUSINESS: ESSAY QUESTION

VALUE: 25%

LENGTH: approximately 1600 words, or 4-5 pages.

*******************************************************************

ESSAY TOPIC: Do some research on business scandals, e.g. Avid Life Media (home of infidelity dating website Ashley Madison); SNC Lavalin; Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos; Enron; Goldman-Sachs’ role in the 2008 economic meltdown; Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme; .com bubbles; ……….. etc. etc. Choose one (not necessarily from this brief list), and do the following:

• Give some detail on the nature of the scandal,

  • i.e. what happened, and who did what to whom.

  • Was this illegal?

  • Why or why not?

    • About a page of summary of the case will be enough – more than this will cut into space that should be allocated to analysis.

• What were the consequences of this act or acts for individual victims, business as a whole, and society in general?

• What ethical theory or theories could those involved in the scandal have used to justify their actions, if any?

• What ethical theory or theories would you use to criticize their actions?

FORMATTING DETAILS:

• Essays should be printed, double spaced, in size 12 font.

• Use in-text citations where appropriate. Note: course work should simply be cited as follows:

  • (Bradshaw, 2019).

• Additional resources, if they are used, should be cited according to one of the main formatting systems.

• Remember to include a Bibliography/Reference sheet, and title page.
