Capital Punishment

post has three assignments

A Framework for Philosophical Application – Learning about approaches and theories is a great resource with which one can apply to particular situations. However, the application of knowledge is much different than merely acquiring knowledge. This is the rationale behind the case studies. These studies/scenarios are either actual or realistically hypothetical cases involving numerous philosophical issues. Thus, the case study assignments have two primary goals: to provide an opportunity for you to practically apply philosophical points of view and reflections to real life/world situations; and, to assess your communication and critical thinking skills
To aid you in your approach to the case studies, I have constructed this guide, which you are to follow. This guide will enable you to think through numerous philosophical issues present in each case. Your case study will have FOUR major sections. To obtain maximum credit, all four sections in accordance with their criteria must be discussed.

1. Recognize and Explain Philosophical Issues — You will choose one (1) case study that interests you in the area we are currently discussing in class. You must clearly state AT LEAST THREE philosophical issues (metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political philosophy, etc.) AND explain why it is a philosophical issue! These issues are to be SPECIFIC to the case chosen. In other words, let’s say that you wrote on partial birth abortion. There are many moral issues involve, but for the sake of the assignment you would NOT merely state the moral issue to be abortion! This claim is the general area of discussion. In other words, how do you know that this involves a moral issue while deciding whether to wear a blue or read shirt probably is not a moral issue? You must indicate AND give reasons why the particular case displays the particular philosophical issue, AND BE SPECIFIC.

a. Is there something wrong personally, interpersonally, or socially? Is there conflict that could be damaging to people? to animals or the environment? to institutions? to society?
b. Does the issue go deeper than legal or institutional concerns? Is there a clear distinction between the moral and legal nature of the issue? What does it do to people as persons who have dignity, rights, and hopes for a better life together?
c. What religious perspectives or issues are present?
d. What things are claimed as “known” or “factual?” Are these certain? What is the relevance of that which is claimed to be known to metaphysical, moral, and political dimensions?
e. What metaphysical issues are present – body/mind/soul, reality, determinism, freedom, etc?

2. Get the Facts — What are the philosophically relevant facts of the case that help you identify particular philosophical issues? This is not a mere restating of everything in the case study. This involves relating things stated (or not stated) that you deem relevant in presenting and considering options for your decision.

a. What individuals and groups have an important stake in the outcome? What is at stake for each? Do some have a greater stake because they have a special need or because we have special obligations to them? Are there other important stakeholders in addition to those directly involved?
b. Have all the relevant persons and groups been consulted and is there a need to do so?
c. Are there particular methods, procedures, or circumstances that constitute certain obligations?
d. What part of the descriptions indicate issues of truth, reality, morality, knowledge, state, etc?

3. Evaluate The Alternative Actions From Various Perspectives – By this point, you will have to present some options for acting. YOU MUST PRESENT AT LEAST TWO OPTIONS FOR ACTING WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC CASE STUDY. These options will be options that you most likely do not deem persuasive, for in the final section of the essay you will present your position/option with respect to the case. Thus, a total of THREE perspectives will be related. In addition to your options presented, you must utilize at least TWO of the MAJOR philosophical perspectives discussed. You must explain how various philosophers would have responded to the particular case study you have chosen that would lead to real possible solutions. This aspect includes telling me WHY a particular theory or philosopher would present a particular option. Some could be applied on numerous fronts of the issue – in other words, J.S. Mill could be applied to argue for AND against capital punishment.

a. Which option will produce the most good and do the least harm?
b. Which option respects the rights and dignity of all stakeholders? Even if not everyone gets all they want, will everyone still be treated fairly/justly?
c. Which option would promote the common good and help all participate more fully in the goods we share as a society, as a community, as a company, as a family?
d. Which option would enable the deepening or development of those virtues or character traits that we value as individuals? as a profession? as a society?
e. What would a determinist, communist, dualist,…..(etc) do?

4. Make A Decision — Here is where you tell me what YOU THINK!!! None of the assignment thusfar has been necessarily your point of view. It has been you thinking through the issue. However, we can’t think about moral issues indefinitely; we must make a decision. Thus, AT THE END OF THE CASE STUDY (ie., the last section), tell me what you would do. You must give at least THREE REASONS why you think your decision is the best decision in light of the other possibilities considered.
a. Considering the various perspectives, which option do you think is the right thing to do?
b. What are strengths in your decision that are absent in others? How does your position avoid weaknesses encountered in other options? What makes something a strength and weakness?
c. How coherent and consistent is your option?
d. Are there possible objections to your view? If so, what are they and can you answer them?
e. What philosophical perspective may ground your view in approaching the particular case?

2: Business Law

Order Description

Analysis and solutions must be based on the principles of law, ethics, and business – not on your opinions.Describe how application of the principles to the key facts support your determination of the issues, in other words, you need to show the reasoning behind your decision.
Key facts are those facts that determine if the principles of law are met. You must demonstrate that you recognize the key facts in this case. List the key facts individually. Do NOT simply repeat or retype the factual scenario.
The length of your response has no bearing on your score. There is no minimum or limit, however most responses will be between two and three substantial pages.
Your assignment must be prepared using APA format. See the Tools and Resources page for more information about APA styling.
Roger is a director of a major car manufacturer. This is one of the few remaining car companies yet to introduce a sport utility vehicle. Roger convinces the board to investigate forming a new division to design, build and market a sport utility vehicle. Roger also convinces the board that the first sport utility vehicle that the division introduces should be the largest yet sold to the general public.

The board set up a committee to do some research, and this committee hired a marketing consulting firm. The committee and the consulting firm both had a few reservations about such a large vehicle, but the data showed that the market could most likely support it. After much discussion, the board of directors voted in favor of creating the new division and the huge sport utility vehicle as its first product. The vote was 9 to 6 in favor of the plan.

Shortly before this vehicle was introduced, there was a major oil supply disruption that caused the price of crude oil to nearly triple. Few purchasers were found for the huge new sport utility vehicle and the company lost considerable money. A shareholder files suit against Roger claiming he violated his duty to the corporation by convincing the board to build and market the large SUV.

Discuss Roger’s duties as a director and any defenses he has to the lawsuit.
