Discussion

Write: Start your initial post by identifying two characteristics of utilitarianism, two characteristics of virtue ethics, and two characteristics of deontology. Organize this part of your post so that it is clear which characteristics belong to which ethical theory. You can do this by means of subtitles, or by presenting a table. You should aim to write one complete and clear sentence for each characteristic rather than just one or a few words.

Then, take the position that Starbucks is guided by utilitarianism and analyze how the notion of the moral good in utilitarianism leads to a unique approach to ethical problems. The way to do this is as follows:

  • First, present an ethical problem confronted by Starbucks. You can choose one such ethical problem from the video.
  • Then, apply the characteristics of utilitarianism that you identified for this discussion in the attempt to solve this problem.
  • After this, analyze how the notion of the moral good present in utilitarianism, and the characteristics that you identified in particular, shape the approach to solving this problem.
  • Your list of references for your initial post should include the video and the other required material for this discussion, including Section 1.3 of the textbook on Starbucks, as well as the Instructor Guidance and any other announcements presented to you by your professor. Use all of the material presented to you in the course and by your professor, in addition to any other sources that you consulted to inform yourself about Starbucks (but not Wikipedia or similar sources).Please be advised that until you post, you will not see what your fellow students are posting. Once you submit your post, you will be able to view the posts from your other classmates. You can then proceed to reply to at least two different threads based on the required material for this discussion on virtue ethics and deontology.

The case: Fisher v. Texas

The issue: Abigail Fisher contends that when she applied to the University of Texas at Austin in 2008, she was rejected on the basis of race—that she was white. Up until now, federal courts have upheld a school’s right to deny admission based on race, most recently in 2003 with Grutter v. Bollinger, a case which arose from a similar situation at the University of Michigan Law School. There, the court found that the constitution “does not prohibit the law school’s narrowly tailored use of race in admissions decisions to further a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body.” Though Fisher v. Texas does not seek to overrule Grutter v. Bollinger, Fisher wants UT to “properly apply the Supreme Court’s principles that require using race-neutral alternatives first.”

Do you think the affirmative action should be applied in any case? What do you think?

  1. Pilot Error: Does the phrase “pilot error” really tell us anything about accidents? Is this a cause or a blame issue? What are the elements that define an “error” which might be important to the investigator?
  2. Crash Lab Observations: What were the weather conditions during the approach to landing and did the flight profile seem normal?
