Problem
I. Do you feel businesses have a responsibility to consider human rights when sourcing or manufacturing materials in other countries or regions? How might a business owner balance profit and fiscal responsibility while maintaining a commitment to global human rights?
II. Compare and contrast the ideas of virtue ethics presented by Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. Do you feel that an individual's character or innate "goodness" ought to be a measure of ethical potential in the business environment? Why or why not?
III. Discuss the strategies Maiden Mills' CEO Aaron Feuerstein took to protect his employees' payroll needs after the devastating fire. Describe how the ethic of care approach potentially impacts employee perception and loyalty. Do you feel that Feuerstein's concern for employees is a positive business model for other leaders to follow? Why or why not?
