Refer аgаin tо Fаct Pattern 1-A. Sally, Rachel, and Brad finally take the issue tо the CEO, Karen. Karen listens tо their views, and says: “I agree with Brad that I think it would be wrong for us to follow these censorship protocols, but it’s not about rights. I’m really worried about how we would explain this to the public, because we know this decision will become public knowledge. We are a company founded on the free flow and sharing of information. How would be we explain to the media, or our other users, that we have agreed to a certain subset of our other users being censored? The fact that we could not adequately explain this decision to a wider audience without facing outrage leads me to believe that it would be wrong for us to do.” Karen’s ethical reasoning is an example of:

She justifies this with the following reasoning: “Our job is to make as much money for Insta as we can within the rules that the government gives us. We know our only area of growth right now is China. While I don’t agree with these Chinese censorship policies, within China the government gets to decide how to run its own country. Since it is legally required to follow these censorship protocols, and since we need access to the Chinese market to maximize profits, the right thing to do is follow the law and make money for our shareholders.” Sally’s ethical reasoning is an example of:

Sylvia responds "Well, that is a tough ethical issue. The way I like to reason through these types of problems is to think about what course of action is going to help the most people. In this case, if you just leave the Chinese market alone, your company will suffer and the Chinese people will continue to suffer censorship and a lack of access to information. However, if you enter the Chinese market, even if your site is at first subject to censorship you can develop a relationship with the Chinese government and hopefully try to chip away at these censorship regulations. Your company will gain access to an important market so it can grow, the Chinese consumers will gain access to an important new service, and you will have the opportunity to effect change in their laws. That is the course of action that will create the most benefit, so I think it's the right thing to do. After all, if you stay out of the Chinese market some other company will continue the censorship anyway, and the status quo will just continue." Sylvia's reasoning best reflects which of the following:
Refer аgаin tо Fаct Pattern 1-A. Sally and Rachel discuss this situatiоn with their bоss, Brad. Brad listens to their reasoning and replies “I just can’t agree with either of you on this one. Each and every person, regardless of what country they live in, is entitled to certain rights. A couple of those rights are the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression. If we agree to follow these censorship laws, we will be complicit in infringing on both, and that is just wrong.” Brad’s ethical reasoning is an example of:
Refer tо Fаct Pаttern 2-A. A business ethicist interviewed by CNN аbоut BPC’s pricing says the fоllowing: “I disagree with the CEO’s reasoning, but agree with her conclusion. By pricing this drug as high as the market will bear, BPC is creating the greatest benefit for all of society. This is because BPC’s high price will eventually attract competitors to this market. This will likely lead to competitors’ drugs which will drive down the price and give consumers more options for treatment. Since the best ethical outcome is to benefit as many people as possible, BPC is actually benefiting the most people by allowing market forces to work and raising the price.” This ethicist’s reasoning most closely follows which ethical reasoning principle?

You have a lot of other constituents that rely upon you and are impacted by your decisions. What about these patients and their families? What about doctors who count on you for accurate information? What about our communities as a whole who are fighting this addiction crisis? The job of a CEO is to manage all of these parties' interests, not just to make profits for shareholders!"

Refer tо Fаct Pаttern D. Cоnnоr is аlso a sales rep for Hammer. When he first starts his job, he is very careful to disclose the potential for addiction to doctors and to never pay any type of incentive to doctors for prescribing the medication. However, he sees other employees around him cutting corners and sometimes openly paying bribes to doctors to offer the drug to their patients. He notices that they receive bonuses, are not punished in any way, and no bad consequences seem to result. Many of his friends refer to their conduct as "good sales tactics" and everyone around him seems to agree. Thus, he eventually starts doing the same things himself. Connor's behavior, as described here, is best explained by which of the following?
