COVID-19 ethics and business

Although COVID-19 directly targets our physical bodies, it has also had a devastating impact on the business world. Leaving many in our society more worried about the long-term impact on businesses and the economy as opposed to the lives lost. 1) identify and explain an issue where an ethical decision needs to be made within the intersection of business(es) and the pandemic e.g. mandatory vaccination before returning to work, sick leave, PPE, hazard pay, vaccination id……  (connection of experience). Clearly state the philosophical problem/issue. 2) Select at least one of the philosophers/ theorists covered after the midterm, explain their logic/ methodology (connect to discipline), and what the appropriate course of action would be when the logic/methodology is applied to the issue outlined (transfer or apply logic/methodology). 3) Conclude by reflecting on the most significant aspect your investigation uncovered and how the findings will influence your future thinking (reflection and self).
