Read the case below and perform 'The Ethics Work Up$\text{'}.$ List and discuss in detail the six steps.

"Case $3$: Allocation of Scarce ResourcesYou are the head organizer for an agency whose services include outreachefforts to homeless and drug$-$addicted youth. At the last staff meeting, the executivedirector informed you that due to unexpected loss of certain contracts and a precipi$-$tous cut in United Way funding, the agency$$s budget for the next fiscal year will bereduced $20\%.$ The Board decided that these cuts would be shared proportionatelyby all programs.You have been asked to come up with a plan to reduce the organizing program$$sbudget by $20\%$ within the next two weeks.As you review the situation you identify three possible options:$1.$ Eliminate one or more elements of the organizing program of the agency.These include projects that involve homeless individuals, families affected bygang violence, and drug addicted youth$\mathrm{.}2.$ Abandon plans to expand these existing programs to under$-$served areas of thecity and to develop new organizing efforts around HIV$/$STD education and theprevention of hate$-$related crimes$\mathrm{.}3.$ Maintain existing programs but attempt to do so with reduced staff. Thiswould require laying off staff and asking others to take on additional work.Innovative Approaches for Teaching Community Organization Skills$38$Alternately, you could ask staff to take a pay cut in order to protect their jobsand the agency$$s existing programs.How would you make this decision? What are the ethical reasons for your decision?Comments: Discussions of how to allocate scarce resources need first to clarifywhat approach will be used, whether a consequentialist approach $($which measures thegood of an act by its outcomes$)$ or a deontological study of moral obligation $($whichmeasures goodness by its adherence to pre$-$established principles$).$ Within eitherframework, there are four basic methods for allocating resources: equality, need, com$-$pensation, and contribution. Each method requires additional clarification. For exam$-$ple, a method of allocation based on the principle of equality has to differentiatebetween equality of access or opportunity and equality of outcomes $($Ryan$,1982).$Issues of equity also need to be considered.Allocation on the basis of need assumes the ability to rank needs based on consensualcriteria. How will such criteria be determined? By whom?The principle of compensation assumes that all parties accept the concept thatcurrent generations have an obligation to make up for the wrongs inflicted in the past.Some members of today$$s generation feel they can be fairly compensated for wrongsthat they personally did not suffer. $($Today$$s debate over Affirmative Action revealshow complicated this issue is$.)$Finally$,$ allocating resources on the basis of contribution or impact involves adetermination of whether past or potential contributions will be given greater weightand how these contributions will be measured".
