Discussion post #1 – week 1 discussion board group 3

This week we covered ethical theory; different ideas about what makes an action right or wrong. All the theories have strong validity but also some weakness; in some ways they compliment each other and in some ways they conflict with each others.

Regarding this week’s Case for Discussion Board – the Case of Banana Terrorism you are to analyze the company’s actions through all of the different lenses.  Your response should answer the following prompts:

  • How did Chiquita’s actions align with and deviate from virtue ethics (character-based)? utilitarianism (consequence-based)? deontology (duty-based)? 
    • Explain, briefly, the case for each theory in a sentence or two, i.e. Chiquita aligned with virtue ethics because… and failed to meet standards in virtue ethics because…
    • Consider the three-part lecture on the three streams of ethics.
    • Discuss where Chiquita could have improved their decision-making process in light of any of the ethical lens in terms of the following 5 Steps to Making an Ethical Decision in the Business Environment:
      1. Identify ethical components.
      2. Identify and assess stakeholders
      3. Consider ethical tests
      4. Take appropriate action
      5. Evaluate impacts and redress as necessary
  • Given the analysis you just conducted, do you think Chiquita acted ethically or not?  Your position should be backed up by material you presented above from this week’s content.
