Scenario #
5-Question approach:
- Is the decision profitable? If development is allowed, yes, the decision will be profitable to the majority of the townspeople. If development is disallowed, no the decision will not generate profit.
- Is the decision legal? Either way the mayor decides, the decision would be legal. He has the right to approve or disapprove the project.
- Is the decision fair? If If development is allowed, no, the decision may not be considered “fair” to the elderly residents. If development is disallowed, it may not be considered “fair” for the developer.
- Is the decision right? If development is allowed, many could argue the decision is not right. If development is disallowed, the decision may be considered right.
- Is the decision going to further sustainable development? If development is allowed, it will further sustainable development. If development is disallowed, then it will not further sustainable development.
Moral Standards approach:
- Does net benefit to society as a whole? If development is allowed, the majority of the town will benefit; the elderly will be displaced and will not benefit as much as the rest of the town.
- Does the decision respect and protect the rights of individuals If development is allowed, the rights and protection of the elderly is trampled. If development is disallowed, the town will suffer from lack of economic stimulus.
- Does the decision give fair distribution of benefits and burdens? If development is allowed, the benefits and burdens will be unequal. The benefits will be to the townsfolk, and the burden of relocation will be on the elderly.
Pastin’s approach:
- Ground rule ethics – for this scenario dictates that the rights of the elderly should be protected.
- End-point ethics – dictate that the mayor should allow the development for the net good of all.
- Rule ethics – boundaries of displacing the elderly should be evaluated against the greater good of the town.
- Social contract ethics – this will dictate that the mayor assist the elderly by relocating them (move the boundaries to remove conflicts).
