Is it Moral to Poach Elephants for Ivory?

Context: This activity will give you the opportunity to apply normative ethical theories to a contemporary moral problem and assess the merits of these theories. You will make a judgment about the morality of poaching elephants for ivory in Africa.

Here are the facts. The Great Elephant Consensus estimates that between 410,000 – 650,000 elephants remain in the wild in Africa (“Resources,” n.d.). But experts believe the number is likely closer to the 410,000 mark. A recent study found that elephants are being poached at a rate of 33,630 elephants per year, based on a three year population decline of 100,000 between 2010 and 2012 (Scriber, 2014). That means, on average, one elephant is being killed every fifteen minutes. If the current rates of poaching continue, elephants will likely be extinct in the African wild within the next ten to fifteen years.

While there are several reasons for the decline, the primary driver is poaching, which escalated after CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) opened a loophole in the law that allowed illegal ivory to flood the global market. This was coupled with a growing middle class in China, which has a legal ivory carving trade. China is the largest consumer of ivory in the world, and the United States is the second largest retail market for ivory. (Several states have passed, or are in the process of banning ivory and rhino horn sales to help curb this demand). This increase in demand drives up the street value of ivory, now valued at about $1,500 per pound, which incentivizes poaching (The Week Staff, 2014).

Poaching causes environmental damage. Elephants are a keystone species, which means their activities play a significant role in maintaining the health of their ecosystems. Their activities enable both flora and fauna to flourish. Poaching also causes economic damage. If elephants become extinct, then Africa will lose a significant source of income from tourism. Last, illegal poaching funds international crime and terrorism and destabilizes local governments (Bergenas & Medina, 2014).

Is it moral to poach elephants for ivory?

Description: Craft a forum post (300-500 words) in which you do the following. First, answer the question (Is it moral to poach elephants for ivory?) from two of the three normative theories. Be sure to make the moral logic explicit. Second, assess the strengths and weaknesses of each position. Third, discuss your own viewpoint on the issue.

Patient: A 35-year-old male who is married and has two school-aged children (8 and 10 years old). Job History: Patient joined the military upon graduating from high school. He was unsure of a profession/career to pursue. Patient was in the United States Marines for 8 years. He reports two tours of duty overseas; one of those tours being spent in Iraq. While in the military, patient earned his bachelor’s degree in business. Patient currently works as a manager in a bank. He reports moderate levels of stress in his job, which sometimes results in him staying home from work to avoid the stress. The patient reports that while he does not dislike his job, it is not a career he can see remaining in until retirement. Medical Background: Patient reports that he was healthy for the majority of his life. He is active and physically fit. He eats well and does not abuse drugs or alcohol. In his early 20s, he smoked but he “cleaned up his act” when he learned he and his wife were expecting their first child. Recently, he has been experiencing a variety of unexplained physical symptoms including back pain, headaches, and chest pain. He has sought medical help for these problems several times. He reports that he often goes to the ER due to experiencing chest pain, but after numerous tests are run, he is discharged upon finding nothing wrong. Complaint: In addition to the physical symptoms listed above, the patient also states he feels scared and anxious. He has difficulty sleeping. He reports difficulty in controlling his anger and that outbursts are often directed at loved ones (wife and children). Based on the above information, complete the following: (Make sure to use scholarly sources to back up your responses) 1. Record important factors to consider in making a diagnosis from the case study. 2. What additional information is needed? 3. Based upon the factors listed, what is your diagnosis? 4. What would you recommend to this patient based upon the factors you have to consider? 5. Ensure you have cited tools that you used in your assessment and diagnosis, including the current version of the DSM.

Question 4
From the data for 46 states in the United States for 1992, Baltagi obtained the following regression results:
                                              LogC= 4.3- 1.34 log P +0.17 log Y
                                                    Se=(0.91) (0.32)       (0.20)                                    R2=0.27

Where C= cigarette consumption, Packs per year
              P= real price per pack
              Y= real disposable income per capita
a. What is the elasticity of demand for cigarettes with respect to price? Is it statistically significant?
b. What is the income elasticity of demand for cigarettes? Is it statistically significant?
c. What is the overall significance of the regression? Which test do you use?

Requirements:

Compute and record the employee's SUTA contributions.

Compute and record the Kipley Company's SUTA and FUTA contributions.

Payroll Register

The State Unemployment Tax Act, better known as SUTA, is a form of payroll tax that all states require employers to pay for their employees. SUTA is a counterpart to FUTA, the federal unemployment insurance program. a

Complete the following step:

Compute and record the employee's SUTA contributions (employees pay 0.07% on total gross pay).

Note: Round your final answers to nearest cent.

Employer Register

The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (or FUTA, I.R.C. ch. 23) is a United States federal law that imposes a federal employer tax used to help fund state workforce agencies. Employers report this tax by filing an annual Form 940 with the Internal Revenue Service. a

Complete the following steps:

Net FUTA tax: Since this is the first pay period of the year, none of the employees are near the $7,000 ceiling; therefore, each employee’s gross earnings is subject to the FUTA tax. (The employer rate is 0.6%)

SUTA tax: Since Kipley Company is a new employer, Pennsylvania has assigned the company a contribution rate of 3.6785% on the first $9,750 of each employee’s earnings.

Imagine you are the governor of one of the states that are experiencing a spike in CORVID-19 cases (e.g., Texas, Florida, California, etc.). In a well-planned and written communication to the citizens of your state, make the argument for your recommendation to stop the relaxing of restrictions that were in place at the beginning of the CORVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.

As part of this communication, you will need to include:

• Data from credible sources indicating that a spike in the number of CORVID-19 cases is indeed occurring.
• What steps you as governor are mandating your citizens take.
• What penalties will be applied for non-compliance.
• The trajectory of your mandate (i.e., the restrictions will be relaxed when the following conditions have been met).
