Draw upon and apply relevant ethical theories and concepts/Business Law and Ethics
Question 1:
Using specific examples from the film Inside Job, discuss whether the political and economic system portrayed in the film improves justice in society. Your answer should not be a statement of your own moral judgement merely, as in a purely reflective assignment. Rather it must employ, draw upon and apply relevant ethical theories and concepts from the second half of the course.
Question 2:
Select one socially significant business decision or practice from the film Inside Job. Critically analyse whether this decision or practice was morally acceptable. Your answer should not be a statement of your own moral judgement merely, as in a purely reflective assignment. Rather it must employ, draw upon and apply relevant ethical theories and concepts from the second half of the course.
Question 3:
“… humans are capable of transcending the pursuit of narrow self-interest. Indeed, they cannot live without some sense of morality. It is market fundamentalism, which holds that the social good is best served by allowing people to pursue their self-interest without any thought for the social good … that is a perversion of human nature” – George Soros
Making reference to specific examples from the film Inside Job of people pursuing “their self-interest without any thought for the social good”, critically discuss whether this “perversion of human nature”, as Soros calls it, values and promotes optimal social outcomes.
Your answer should not be a statement of your own moral judgement merely, as in a purely reflective assignment. Rather it must employ, draw upon and apply relevant ethical theories and concepts from the second half of the course.
