Review for Final Honors Business Ethics
 

1.

 

1. Enter your name for quiz credit. We did not have too many quizzes, so this is worth a bit.

2. Is anything unclear about the Jon Entine reading?

3. Is anything unclear about the Milton Friedman reading on the social responsibility of business?

4. Recall that no questions about Milton Friedman's article were asked on the first midterm, as we were going to see him again in an interview. Is anything unclear about Friedman's view in the interview we read?

5. Is anything unclear about what Aristotle says?

6. Is anything unclear about Mandeville, about what he represents?

7. Is anything unclear about Adam Smith and what we are using him for?

8. Are you clear on how to raise moral objections to the invisible hand story?

9. Are you clear on how we used Marx in class?

10. This semester we had a pro-consumerist and an anticonsumerist visit campus. One of your final exam essay questions (from a set) is on what you can say about consumerism. Is it good or bad for people? The challenge is to be CLEAR and not VAGUE and impossible to disprove. Try to make claims you can support. (Use examples!)
Any questions about this?

11. Is anything at all unclear in the Tullock article? How about his stuff on cartels? Does that make sense? What is unclear?

12. Is anything unclear in the interview you have carefully read and re-read, with Mackey and Friedman? (I won't ask about TJ Rodgers...)

13. Is anything unclear about the Ford v. Dodge case?
Do you see it as a useful example of *several things*?

14. Is anything unclear about the SEC lawsuit against Whole Foods?

15. Is anything unclear in John Mackey's defense against the SEC?

16. Is anything unclear about virtue ethics? Consequentialism? Or Kantianism? Or ethical theory in general?

Is it clear how we used these approaches in class?

17. Is anything unclear about the class presentation on Elizabeth Anderson? You won't be tested on her, but you may want to make use of her ideas in your paper and/or essay answers. Anything unclear?

18. Is anything at all unclear in the Holley reading on sales ethics? This article will be asked about on the final, for sure.

19. Is anything unclear about the Martin article on Whistleblowing? Is any part of the article unclear?
