An admitted call girl once said that prostitution is a profitable business if you market it correctly and properly screen your clients. The U.S. Department of Commerce claims that the underground economy (especially illegal gambling and prostitution) represents between 3 and 40 percent beyond the legal economy. Fifi defends the right to sell sex between consenting adults and argues that a person has the right to use his or her body in any way that maximizes income. “We allow people to box professionally. So why do we allow people to beat the heck out of each other for a living, but prohibit people from being nice to each other (via sexual acts)?” From the perspective of prostitutes, such as Fifi, “It’s not the government’s business. Should sex between consenting adults be a concern of the government at all? We allow prostitution in Nevada and in many other countries, so we’re inconsistent as well. You mean to tell me that all those places are immoral? We do the same thing that a legal massage parlor does, only we do it on different parts of the body.” However, many former prostitutes say that most were drug addicts and many were molested as children or as young girls or boys. “When I first did it, I felt a tremendous sense of power,” said Bula, “but that feeling quickly faded. Feelings of powerlessness, shame, and drug addiction ultimately followed, knowing that my prostitution was a continuing form of abuse, even though I made good money.”
• Evaluate the moral permissibility of Fifi’s decision to be a prostitute.
• Evaluate the moral permissibility of Bula’s decision to be a prostitute

Charity starts at home." If you don't think along these lines, ask the Salvation Army. A few years back, one of the Army's neighborhood offices found that it had an issue with robbery among its pot workers,the individuals who gather cash for the Army amid the Christmas season. A portion of the Army's kettlers were taking the Army's gifts previously the association had an opportunity to dole out the cash. To put a stop to the issue, Army authorities looked for the help of Dr.John Jones, executive of research for London House Management Consultants. London House is one of a few organizations that market trustworthiness tests for planned workers. 117 Although solid figures are difficult to get a hold of, the U. S. Council of Commerce trusts that upwards of 75 percent of representatives may take and that 30 percent of insolvencies originate from worker robbery. Regardless of whether these figures are overstated, nobody questions the issue is serious.Honesty-test creators say the best way to manage the issue is before laborers are contracted by subjecting them to a pre work mental test that will recognize those planned representatives who are probably going to take. James Walls, one of the originators of Stanton Corporation,which has offered composed genuineness tests for a quarter century, says that deceptive activity candidates are astute at duping potential businesses in a prospective employee meeting. " They have a method for acting that is most likely better than the generally safe individual. They have realized what it takes to be acknowledged and how to defeat the typical meeting system," he says. " The high-chance individual will get enlisted unless there is an approach to screen him." For this reason, Walls maintains,written, target tests are expected to weed out the convicts. A large number of composed genuineness tests are given yearly, on account of congressional confinements on polygraph testing. Notwithstanding being legitimate, genuineness tests are likewise practical in light of the fact that they cost just a small amount of what polygraph tests cost

3. what ideal obligations, and effects must be considered in using psychological tests as pre-employment screens? in your view, which is the most important consideration?
4. if you were an employer, would you require an employees or job applicants to pass an honesty exam? explain the moral principles that support your position.
5. what do you think a business's reaction would be if government required its executives to submit to an honesty test as a pre condition for the company's getting a government contract? if, in your opinion, the business would object, does it have any moral grounds for subjecting workers to comparable tests?
6. utilitarians would not find anything inherently objectionable about psychological tests as long as the interest of all parties were taken into account and given equal consideration before such tests were made a pre-employment screen do you think this is generally the case?
7. should there be a law prohibiting or regulating psychological tests as a pre-employment screen? should a decision to use these tests be made jointly by management and labor,or is testing for employment an exclusive employer right?
