Case Study Analyses $($CSAs$)$ are short assignments in which you analyze a case using two of the ethical theories we have learned as well as your own judgment. For the purposes of this assignment, each of the following counts as an ethical theory: Act Utilitarianism, Rule Utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, Ross' Prima Facie Duties, and Virtue Ethics. You may choose any two of these ethical theories for your CSA, and you may choose the same two from assignment to assignment. NOTE: Ethical Relativism $($and its variations $$ Cultural Relativism, Ethical Subjectivism$),$ Ethical Objectivism, Shareholder Theory, etc., ARE NOT ethical theories. DO NOT use them as ethical theories! I will be grading each CSA based on how well you understand your chosen ethical theories. I want you to demonstrate to me that you understand how to apply the chosen ethical theories. That means you must work through the necessary rules, formulas, etc. For example, if you are using Act Utilitarianism, you must construct a utility chart by listing each person$/$entity involved, list the possible actions, the pros & cons of each action for each person$/$entity$,$ assign utility to each pro & con, etc. If you are using Kantian ethics, you must test it using both formulations of the categorical imperative $$ i$.$e$.$ For the $1$st CI$,$ create a maxim; Universalize it$,$ Test it for a contradiction in conception and a contradiction in the will. For the $2$nd CI$,$ check to see if you are using the person like an object$/$tool$,$ respecting their dignity, value, etc. It is also very important that you explain why you assigned a particular utility, virtue, duty, etc., to each person or action. Doing so demonstrates to me that you understand how the ethical theory works and how to apply it$.$ CSAs should be no longer than $4$ double$-$spaced pages with regular font, font size, margins, and paragraphing. They can be shorter than this and still receive an excellent grade. An extra page or two is also permissible. NOTE: I do not count charts, tables, etc. as part of the page limit$.$ Answer the following questions in each CSA:

$1.$ How would you characterize the main ethical issue in this case? For example, is the

main ethical issue an instance of fraud, employer loyalty, deception, etc? Explain why

this is the main ethical issue. $(5$ marks$)$

$2.$ What would $[$INSERT FIRST ETHICAL THEORY HERE$]$ state is the morally right

action in this case study? $($In other words, apply the first ethical theory to determine what

it would say is the morally right action.$)(15$ marks for the ethical theory$/5$ marks for

incorporating concepts from the applicable chapter. $20$ marks total$)$

$3.$ What would $[$INSERT SECOND ETHICAL THEORY HERE$]$ state is the morally

right action in this case study? $($In other words, apply the second ethical theory to

determine what it would say is the morally right action.$)(15$ marks for the ethical

theory$/5$ marks for incorporating concepts from the applicable chapter. $20$ marks

total$)$

$4.$ Which analysis of the main ethical issue is more convincing for this case study?

Why? Why is the other ethical theory not as convincing for this case study? $($Don$$t just

list the advantages$/$problems with the ethical theories! Explain how those

advantages$/$problems lead to desirable$/$undesirable moral outcomes for the particular

situation.$)(5$ marks$)$

Further, when applying the chosen ethical theories, you MUST also incorporate

concepts that we have studied since the midterm. $($i$.$e$.$ CSR$,$ Fairness & Non$-$

Discrimination, Social Action Problems, Marketing & Advertising Ethics. It$$s not

necessary to include all of these, but there have to be concepts from at least one of the

lectures.$)$ Integrating chapter concepts into your ethical analysis will make for a better

answer and will result in a better grade. i$.$e$.$ How might Shareholder$/$Stakeholder theory

affect Kantian ethics?
