After a week of lessons on business ethics as a student's Senior Project, we'll follow up this week with a couple of case studies so we can apply what you've learned. First, READ the article and apply the theory of "cost benefit analysis" to this situation. The article is NOT about this concept per se, but the theory is clearly being applied here. What do you think/feel about how it is implemented? Is there any other reasonable way of handling the situation? Discuss with a partner to make sure you both fully understand the concept and how it's being used in the real world. Then we'll discuss as a class. Next, research the current work stoppage/slowdown at the ports of LA and Long Beach. What are the issues on each side? What, in your opinion, is fair and reasonable? What are the costs of the ports giving in to worker demands? What are the costs (currently) to business by the ongoing work stop/slow? What is the impact on businesses beyond the Port Authority/City of LA and Long Beach itself? Many soldiers (veterans/vets) suffer from physical and mental injuries that inhibit their transition back to "normal" civilian life in the USA. Homelessness and lack of proper health care plague our vets.
Watch the following video HERE Facts on homelessness HERE and some visual proof here What SHOULD happen in cases like these? What is your opinion regarding what our nation owes our veterans in medical care, mental health services, etc? Keep in mind, the money for these services would come from "your tax dollars", so it DOES affect you. Are you willing to help pay for what vets need? Or do you feel they were paid by the military when they were "in" and after that they have to take care of themselves, just like the rest of us? Explain your stance.

PurposeIn the Fall, we focus on the foundations of Philosophy and Logic, culminating with a project where you express your own Personal Ethical Code. In the Spring, we study ethical systems of thought and analyze their logic, ending with the development of your own nation, founded and run according to your ethical code.
