Assignment:
Q1. Entertainment Network, Inc. (ENI), a business that provided news, entertainment, and information via the Internet, sued government officials who prohibited the company from filming the execution of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and selling the footage of the execution online. The government officials argued that a Justice Department regulation prohibiting audio and visual recording devices at federal executions applied in the case at hand. ENI, however, argued that the regulation violated the company’s First Amendment right to free speech. How do you think the court should have ruled in this case? Do you think ENI might have altered its decision to broadcast the execution if it had applied the Golden Rule?
Q2. Titan Distribution, Inc., had subcontracted with a company that provided employees, but Titan later decided to hire its own employees and end the subcontracting contract. Robert Chalfant worked for the subcontracted company, and when Titan made this change, Chalfant sought the same position with Titan that he had held while employed by the subcontractor. Although Titan initially indicated that Chalfant passed his physical examination and would be hired, the company subsequently decided that he failed the physical and did not hire him. The evidence indicated that Titan mistakenly believed that Chalfant’s physical ailments substantially limited his ability to work, that he previously performed and remained able to perform the functions of the job, and that the refusal to hire him on the basis of the allegedly failed physical was linked to his disability. Further, Titan’s inconsistent and unexplained decision-making process, with knowledge of the federal discrimination laws, was sufficient to support an award of punitive damages. Later you will learn about discrimination, but right now, consider the ethical issues of this case. What values are at odds in the dilemma outlined in this case?
