/in /by

After reading and thinking about the texts fully, consider if Natural Ethics is a normative theory. Remember, normative theories tell us how we ought to live. Does Natural Ethics tell us how to live? If so, what are its principles? Bentham had the Hedonic Calculator, Kant the Categorical Imperatives, Aristotle had Eudaimonia. These texts do not spell out a specific set of normative principles so it is your job to write them.

Please write your principles of Natural Ethics. After you write your principles, defend where you got the idea by using the texts. Quoting from the texts is appropriate in this exercise and also give some explanation.

Please post a half of page to one page by the end of Thursday and two responses to your classmates by the end of Sunday. Did you classmates get the essence of Natural Ethics or were their ideas fringe arguments? How valid were their explanations?

The relevant files will be uploaded, let me know if you have any further question.

This is a discussion board, you can use “first person” and write about your own opinion.

In this course, you have looked at classical ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. You have also examined different perspectives on ethical issues introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and emotivism. For this paper, you will apply these theories and perspectives to a current issue.

Choose an ethical issue to write about. You may choose from the list below, or, with approval from the instructor, select a different socially-relevant topic. It is recommended that you choose a topic that you are familiar with or that you have some interest in exploring further. For the purposes of this paper, your topic should pertain to a current area of interest in the news and/or government policy forums.

Possible Issues

  • Corporate executive compensation
  • Corporate contributions to political campaigns
  • Human trafficking
  • Mass incarceration and the prison industrial complex
  • The media and their responsibilities
  • Domestic surveillance
  • Whistleblowing in government or in a business
  • Religion in the workplace
  • Ethical problems of gambling
  • Progressive taxation rates
  • Immigration reform in the U.S. and/or abroad
  • Women’s equality

In your paper, you will apply ethical theories and perspectives to the issue that you select. You do not have to use all six, but you should apply at least two ethical theories and at least one ethical perspective in your paper. Make sure that you write primarily on ethical topics and concepts, aiming to be both balanced and intellectually driven in your work. You may share your personal views, but do not rely on opinions (yours or those offered by others) to make your case. Think about the evidence that helps to make your case and use it.

Address the following questions:

  • What are the ethical issues?
  • Where are there breaches of ethical behavior?
  • How could each ethical theory you cite help people think about what constitutes virtuous or ethical behavior?

Your draft must include at least three pages of text plus a title page and a references page. Your draft should include a clear thesis statement that states what you plan to argue. It should also explain how you intend to develop the final paper and include a list of the sources you intend to use. You can also use the Sociology Research Guide (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. located in the Ashford University Library. Format your rough draft according to APA style and properly cite and reference all your sources according to APA format. If you would like to refer to APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab in the left navigation bar of your online course.

Note: The final version of this paper will be 1500 to 1800 words, plus separate title and reference pages, and will use at least five academic sources.

Please read the attached two cases (Ricoh, and Cheateu) and Threadless website (https://www.threadless.com/) and answer the questions below:

The assignment requires applying the course concepts from the class session. Please see the attached powerpoint slides from each session and and apply core concepts while answering each question.

Individual Assignment Questions

Question 1A (Recommend about 2 pages) 20 Marks

Compare and contrast the outside-in readiness of Ricoh Canada and Chateau Margaux at the time that each respective case was written. After comparing each company, provide your assessment of which organization, Ricoh or Chateaux Margaux, is in the best position to deliver value to their customers.

Question 1B (Recommend about 1 page) 10 Marks

For the company that you felt is the least outside-in driven (Ricoh or Chateau Margaux), what do you believe is the single most important thing that organization should do to move to become more outside-in driven. Justify why you believe that this is the single most important move.

Question 2A (Recommend about 1 page) 10 Marks

For an entrepreneurial initiative, Threadless has seen significant success over the years. There are many reasons for this, but from a customer value perspective, what has been their innovation?

Question 2B (Recommend about 2-3 pages) 30 Marks

Refer back to the company you identified in Question 1(B) (as being the least outside-in driven).

Provide a complete customer value profile and assessment of value priority of one segment that you feel is core to that organization’s (Ricoh or Chateau Margaux) future success. (If you are analyzing Chateau Margaux, stay focused only on the third wine option.) Be sure to justify your customer value analysis by drawing information from the case study as well as drawing on as many course concepts as is relevant in order to provide a rich understanding of the customer value and priority.

Question 3 (Recommend about 3 pages) 30 Marks

For the company that you discussed in questions 1(B) and 2(B), describe the Business Model that you believe that company (Ricoh or Chateau Margaux) will have to put in place in order to deliver value to the customer you profiled in Question 2B.

Total 100 Marks


All answers are to be written in 12-point font, double spaced, 1 inch margins.

Notes:

Grading is based on how well you apply the course concepts in order to provide insight into the corresponding questions being asked about that case.

An expectation in this individual assignment is that you are able to draw on the appropriate course concepts in order to address the questions at hand. If you draw on too many (unrelated) concepts (i.e. the “everything but the kitchen sink” approach), this will detract from the clarity of your analysis. On the other hand, not drawing on all relevant concepts for that question will lead to an incomplete analysis.

Session 6 and Session 2 have several key concepts. I prefer using 3 or 4 major ones from these sessions
