Macy’s, a multi-billion dollar company, has announced plans to restructure in order to stay afloat. Part of that restructure was laying off 4 thousand employees, an overwhelming task for HR. Whether you were getting laid off or moving forward with the company, every single employee had to be contacted. That was a lot of phone calls involving manual work for the HR department. In the future there should be an automated function for these tasks, howeverThey have made plans to completely restructure how they sell and these plans will begin taking effect in July. I am a shoe expeditor and our jobs will be changing. The shoe departments will be open-sell (help yourself) systems where we will get less hours. In my opinion, it opens the department up to more theft, as people already ‘try on’ shoes and swap out the new shoes with their old ones when employees are not looking. It could be a recipe for disaster.

Review the material in chapter 6 on the Elaboration Likelihood Model.

1. The Elaboration Likelihood Model suggests that there are two ways to persuade people: the central route and the peripheral route. Pretend you work for an advertising agency. You must design two ads for a new candy bar: one that will appeal to those people in the peripheral route and one that will appeal to those in the central route.
2. Write a brief essay in which you explain the ads that you would develop or actually create the ads with graphics, etc. Then, include a description of the two routes, why each ad would appeal to a person in a particular route, and what things determine if a person will use the peripheral or central route.

Read this excerpt from Plato's Republic and then consider this question:

Glaucon argues that people will always act unethically if there is no chance of being caught. Do you agree or disagree?

Note: Gyges' ring is like the ring that Frodo carried in The Lord of the Rings. It gives invisibility.

_______________________________________________

The Ring of Gyges, from Book II of Plato’s Republic.

Instructor’s note: This is part of a dialogue between Socrates (who represents Plato’s view) and Glaucon (Plato’s older brother). Earlier in the dialogue, Socrates has given an argument about the nature and importance of justice. The character Glaucon disagrees with Socrates, and this excerpt is Glaucon’s speech regarding the nature of justice.

Now that those who practice justice do so involuntarily and because they have not the power to be unjust, will best appear if we imagine something of this kind: having given both to the just and the unjust power to do what they will, let us watch and see whither desire will lead them; then we shall discover in the very act the just and unjust man to be proceeding along the same road, following their interest, which all natures deem to be their good, and are only diverted into the path of justice by the force of law. The liberty which we are supposing may be most completely given to them in the form of such a power as is said to have been possessed by Gyges the ancestor of Croesus the Lydian.

According to the tradition, Gyges was a shepherd in the service of the king of Lydia; there was a great storm, and an earthquake made an opening in the earth at the place where he was feeding his flock. Amazed at the sight, he descended into the opening, where, among other marvels, he beheld a hollow brazen horse, having doors, at which he stooping and looking in saw a dead body of stature, as appeared to him, more than human, and having nothing on but a gold ring; this he took from the finger of the dead and reascended. Now the shepherds met together, according to custom, that they might send their monthly report about the flocks to the king; into their assembly he came having the ring on his finger, and as he was sitting among them he chanced to turn the collet of the ring inside his hand, when instantly he became invisible to the rest of the company and they began to speak of him as if he were no longer present. He was astonished at this, and again touching the ring he turned the collet outwards and reappeared; he made several trials of the ring, and always with the same result-when he turned the collet inwards he became invisible, when outwards he reappeared. Whereupon he contrived to be chosen one of the messengers who were sent to the court; where as soon as he arrived he seduced the queen, and with her help conspired against the king and slew him, and took the kingdom.

Suppose now that there were two such magic rings, and the just put on one of them and the unjust the other; no man can be imagined to be of such an iron nature that he would stand fast in justice. No man would keep his hands off what was not his own when he could safely take what he liked out of the market, or go into houses and lie with any one at his pleasure, or kill or release from prison whom he would, and in all respects be like a God among men. Then the actions of the just would be as the actions of the unjust; they would both come at last to the same point. And this we may truly affirm to be a great proof that a man is just, not willingly or because he thinks that justice is any good to him individually, but of necessity, for wherever anyone thinks that he can safely be unjust, there he is unjust. For all men believe in their hearts that injustice is far more profitable to the individual than justice, and he who argues as I have been supposing, will say that they are right. If you could imagine any one obtaining this power of becoming invisible, and never doing any wrong or touching what was another's, he would be thought by the lookers-on to be a most wretched idiot, although they would praise him to one another's faces, and keep up appearances with one another from a fear that they too might suffer injustice.

Please read the case study entitled “Casinos and Crime” that you find in the reading assignment. Based on what you have learned in this unit, answer the following questions: 1. In most casino states and counties, laws protect owners from liability claims arising from problems caused by gambling. In ethical terms, however, if you’re the sole proprietor of the casino, do you feel any responsibility for this episode? Why or why not? If you feel any responsibility, to whom would it be? What could you do to set things right? 2. You’re an equal partner in a nonprofit organization that runs the casino to support the cause of building schools for children in impoverished sections of Peru. You spend a few months every year down there building schools and giving free English-language classes. In ethical terms (and regardless of what the law allows), do you believe anyone involved in this episode should be able to sue you personally for their suffering? Why or why not? 3. Say that the casino under discussion in this set of questions is the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, which is owned by a large, public corporation. You have five shares of stock inherited a few years ago when a relative died. You are legally protected from liability claims. In ethical terms, however, do you believe that anyone involved in this episode should be able to sue you personally—or just plain blame you—for their suffering? Why or why not? 4. Pigouvian taxes (named after economist Arthur Pigou, a pioneer in the theory of externalities) attempt to correct externalities—and so formalize a corporate social responsibility—by levying a tax equal to the costs of the externality to society. The casino, in other words, that causes crime and other problems costing society, say, $1 million should pay a $1 million tax. In terms of casinos, would such a tax more or less satisfy any ethical claim that could be made against them for the social problems they cause? Why or why not? https://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/business-ethics/s17-05-case-studies.html

Write 1-2 paragraph about A description of Huawei company’s actions regarding social responsibility.

At no time in our history have we been more medicated as a society than we are today. Yet one study has shown that 75% of pediatricians are NOT confident in diagnosing ADD/ADHD, let alone psychiatric conditions. Meanwhile, access to specialized services, especially for children, are practically nonexistent.

Chapter 7 discusses several cognitive and psychiatric conditions, many of which are often treated with medication. Pretend you are the parent of a child with one of these conditions. You would want to learn as much as you possibly can about the condition and the medications that may be prescribed to your child, right?

Select a condition for which the current treatment course is medication and fully answer each of the following prompts:

Fully explain the condition, its causes and symptoms.

Describe your plans to support your child given the diagnosis.
