James Stilton is the chief executive officer (CEO) of RightLiving, Inc., a company that buys life insurance policies at a discount from terminally ill persons and sells the policies to investors. RightLiving pays the terminally ill patients a percentage of the future death benefit (usually 65%) and then sells the policies to investors for 85% of the value of the future benefit. The patients receive the cash to use for medical and other expenses, and the investors are "guaranteed" a positive return on their investment. The difference between the purchase and sale prices is RightLiving's profit. Stilton is aware that some sick patients may obtain insurance policies through fraud (by not revealing their illness on the insurance application). An insurance company that discovers such fraud will cancel the policy and refuse to pay. Stilton believes that most of the policies he has purchased are legitimate, but he knows that some are probably not. Answer the following questions: Would a person who adheres to the principle of rights consider it ethical for Stilton not to disclose the potential risk of cancellation to investors? Why or why not? Under the categorical imperative, are the actions of RightLiving ethical? Why or why not? Under utilitarianism, are Stilton's actions ethical? Why or why not? If most of the policies are legitimate, does this make a difference in your analysis? Using the IDDR approach, discuss the decision process Stilton should use in deciding whether to disclose the risk of fraudulent policies to potential investors. What are other ethical concerns that Stilton may be facing?

Hi Class, Recently, the US Supreme Court issued its decision in the case of 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. By a 6-3 vote, the Court has created a carve out to public state accommodation laws that bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. The Court ruled that a proclaimed Christian graphic artist who wants to design wedding websites can refuse to work with same-sex couples. The Court created this exception on the basis of 1st Amendment free speech. Summaries of this Court decision (including the full Court opinion) can be found in the links below. For a possible (3) points extra credit, please answer the following questions: 1. What potential ramifications does this decision have on businesses? Does this open the door for private businesses to legally discriminate against other protected classes of people? 2. Based on this decision, can the tables be turned - can a private business such as a lawyer refuse to represent a client based on their political orientation? For example, if a lawyer finds individuals who identify as MAGA to be adverse to their personal beliefs, and as their work involves the business of speech, can the lawyer expressly decline cases purely on the basis of political affiliation? 3. Does your answer in question #2 change if the facts are revised such that the lawyer refuses to represent any clients whose religious beliefs differ from those of the lawyer? https://www.npr.org/2023/06/30/1182121291/colorado-supreme-court-same-sex-marriage-decision#:~:text=By%20a%206%2Dto%2D3,creating%20a%20message%20she%20opposesLinks to an external site.. https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-gay-rights-website-designer-aa529361bc939c837ec2ece216b296d5Links to an external site.

Jury: Q - Sm (first letter of last name) The Case of the Faulty Air-Conditioning System The Grove Theater purchased a large air-conditioning system from Acme Manufacturing Co. for its 1,000 seat facility. The system was purchased and installed in April, prior to the start of the summer season. The sales contract contained a statement that the system would provide sufficient cooling for 1,500 people to a maximum temperature of 72 degrees. The statement further said, “The seller makes no express warranties for this product.” At the beginning of June, it became apparent to Grove that the system did not work property; it provided cool air, but not enough to enable patrons to be fully comfortable. Grove complained in writing to Acme about the air-conditioning system and withheld payment but continued to use the machine during the summer months because there was not enough time to order another system; without any air conditioning at all, the theater would have had to close down. All three efforts by Acme to repair the system failed, and at the end of the summer, Grove demanded that Acme take the machine back. Acme refused to accept the machine and brought suit against Grove for the purchase price. The Trial Grove testified that the temperatures during the summer in the area where the theater was located were extremely warm and that air conditioning was absolutely essential to enable patrons to feel comfortable during the showing of movies. The theater stated that it relied on the wording in the sales contract that the system would produce sufficient cooling. It further stated that it could not return the air-conditioning system immediately after delivery because the theater would have had to close down and lose its customers for the entire summer. The theater also stated that returning a large system involved a great deal of effort and expense and that it did not want to return the system until it had obtained significant use from it. The Arguments at Trial Acme’s attorney argued that the specific wording in the sales contract disclaiming any express warranties prevented Grove from claiming that the system was defective. They further argued that the theater should have returned the system immediately when it discovered that the system was faulty. They also argued that when the theater used the system for three months, and received many benefits from it, it automatically gave up its right to rescind the contract and return the system. Grove’s attorneys argued that because of the size and weight of the system and the costs involved in returning it, Grove had a legal right to use the system for a reasonable amount of time and then return it. They further argued that the statement in the sales contract that the system would produce sufficient cooling outweighed the importance of the statement that there were no express warranties. The theater also argued that by keeping the machine and getting some benefit from it, it was able to mitigate its damages. Otherwise, the theater could have held the manufacturer responsible for the loss of profits. Questions to Decide: Who has the stronger arguments, Grove or Acme? Why? You are the jury hearing the case, for whom would you decide on the question of the alleged warranty? Why? You are the jury hearing the case, for whom would you decide on the question of the right to rescind the contract? Why? What do you think the law should be with regard to a problem of this nature involving something that is not easily returnable?

assignment 3 Suggested Length: 1400 to 2000 words Ethical Theories to Apply: Utilitarianism, Universal Ethics, Golden Rule, Virtue Ethics You are to consider, discuss, and evaluate all ethical theories and then choose the best one on which to base your recommendations. Explain why it is the best choice. You may reuse your facts and issues from Assignments 1 and 2. Task You work in the Ethics Department for ABC Company (ABC). Your department is dedicated to advising its employees about their ethical obligations in the corporate setting. You are an internal consultant who provides advice and most importantly, recommendations for action to employees of the firm. All communications you receive in this capacity are confidential. Luke, an employee of ABC, comes to you with the following scenario and asks for your advice. He wants to fully consider the situation. Your task is to advise and recommend a course of action based on the specified ethical lenses and facts as given. Your recommendation must be based on only one of the four ethical theories – not both or a combination of both. In other words, your reasoning must support your choice. Choose one theory only and support it with your reasoning. Below are the facts that Luke provides to you. ***** Luke has been asked to work on a project that involves developing land recently purchased by ABC to build an adult entertainment retail store. According to the plan, the land is located on the corner of the neighborhood where Owen, Luke’s brother, lives. Luke knows that as soon as the plans for the store are made public, property values for the surrounding neighborhood will decrease significantly. ABC plans to publicly announce the project one month from today. Luke is concerned about his obligations of confidentiality to his company. However, Luke is also very close to Owen, who recently told Luke that he received an offer to sell his house at an “okay” price given the current real estate market. Owen is considering selling but hasn’t made any final decision yet. He wonders if he might get a better offer a few years from now when the real estate market improves. What is the ethical issue, why is this an issue, and what should Luke do about it? ***** For assignment 3, prepare a memo, setting out your analysis and recommendations, that considers all the following ethical lenses: Utilitarianism, Universal Ethics (i.e., Kant’s categorical imperative), The Golden Rule and Virtue Ethics. You must choose only one of the four theories to support your recommendations. Remember that Assignments 1 and 2 are considered “drafts” for Assignment 3. In other words, you may revise and reuse parts of Assignments 2 and 3 (facts, issues, description of the ethical lenses) for Assignment 3, but please make sure that you make improvements where indicated. Your analysis for Assignment 3 will be different since you’re incorporating all four theories into your analysis. But you may reuse other elements of assignments 1 and 2 (facts, issues, description of the ethical lenses) if they are written as well as you can write them. Ethical Theories -- use these and only these theories to analyze the facts, support your reasoning, and make your recommendations. Golden Rule Kant & Categorical Imperatives Utilitarian Theory Aristotle and Virtue Theory

Final Contract Assignment 1. Invent a product or service (can be an app.) This could be the one you previously identified or a different one. The product/service is one you will market for profit. Assume the product/service has been developed and created and is ready for distribution. Do not concern yourself whether it can reasonably be realized. Be creative! 2. Draft a contract for the sale of the product/service to a retail establishment. The retailer could be a brick and mortar store, restaurant, hardware store, online marketplace, etc. 3. The contract should contain the necessary elements of a contract in accordance, i.e., the contract should include specifics on terms such as description, price, quantity, shipping or delivery, payments, etc. You may use other sources beyond your textbook. Do not use terms you do not understand. Do not just "copy and paste" a contract you find on the internet. Make this contract yours. (For the description terms you can include what your item or service does or accomplishes.) Also, very importantly, you are required to add at least seven (7) Boilerplate (common contract provisions) clauses which must include "arbitration" and "attorney fees and costs" clauses. See attached for sample boilerplate clauses which includes definitions and sample language to include. Boilerplate Clauses.1-2.pdf Your contract is worth 100 points; up to 50 points will be given for professionalism, which includes having a title for your document, proper formatting, alignment of paragraphs, spacing, spelling, and grammar; and up to 50 points on how well you incorporate all the necessary elements of a contract, including essential terms and boilerplate clauses, and followed the instructions. You must incorporate all elements described in this assignment in order to receive full credit. Points will be deducted for each term/clause not incorporated. This final contract is worth 25% of your grade. (Sample contracts may be found by googling samples contracts for sale of good or services; Findlaw; RocketLawyer.com; and other law sites. Also, a sample contract for the International Sale of Coffee can be found in your book at pages 383-386. Note, do not just copy and paste contracts you find.
