As a consumer think of a place you like to shop at because of the so-called great bargains, coupons, cash back and or discounts they offer.

Ethics and Pricing  People feel better when they think they are getting a great bargain when they shop. Knowing this, some retailer’s markup items above the traditional retail price and then offer a 60 percent discount. If they had simply discounted the normal retail price by 20 percent, the resulting “sale price” would have been the same. One retailer says that he is just making shoppers happy that they got a great deal when he inflates the retail price before discounting.   Significantly marking up prices in order to offer “deep discounts” is not an unethical pricing practice per se, but it may be considered misleading advertising. The retailer is not really reducing its profits as a result of offering the sale price, even though a 60 percent discount implies a financial sacrifice on the part of the retailer for the benefit of the customer.   The situation described above could, perhaps, be considered a sales promotion that uses deception or manipulation.   1.As a consumer think of a place you like to shop at because of the so-called great bargains, coupons, cash back and or discounts they offer.  2.From your shopping experience explain if the discounts you received on your purchase you feel was a bargain deal or do you feel you overpaid. 3.Did you believe the retailer is sacrificing revenue for you the consumers’ benefit?  4.Why or Why not?   5.Do you find their sales practices to be ethical and beneficial to the consumer or perhaps unethical and misleading?   The requirements below must be met for your paper to be accepted and graded:   •Write between 500 – 750 words (approximately 2 – 3 pages) using Microsoft Word. •Attempt APA style, see example below. •Use font size 12 and 1” margins. •Include cover page and reference page. •At least 60% of your paper must be original content/writing. •No more than 40% of your content/information may come from references. •Use at least two references from outside the course material, preferably from EBSCOhost.  Text book, lectures, and other materials in the course may be used, but are not counted toward the two reference requirement. •Reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) must be identified in the paper and listed on a reference page.    Reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) must come from sources such as, scholarly journals found in EBSCOhost, online newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, government websites, etc.  Sources such as Wikis, Yahoo Answers, eHow, etc. are not acceptable

What are the core qualities of an inclusive leader?

What would Kant say about the role of your emotions in your decisions?

Imagine the two following scenarios for this discussion:

Your Brother (or a similarly close relative) has been killed intentionally.  His murderer stands trial for his crimes and is convicted.  They have left his punishment up to you.  Can you decide to have this murderer killed?  Why or why not?  (If you don’t decide one way or another – he will go free.)

Your Brother (or a similarly close relative) has killed a person intentionally and has received the death penalty for his crimes.  They have left his punishment up to you.  Can you conclude the same punishment for your brother as you did in the case above?

What would Kant say about your answers?  Would he conclude that you acted on a ‘universal maxim’?  If not, why not?  What role does emotions have in your decisions – and should they have any role?  What would Kant say about the role of your emotions in your decisions?

Assess the moral solutions arrived at through “care” (care-based ethics) and “rights” ethics to social issues of ethical import such as poverty, drug use, and/or lack of health care

Initial Post Instructions
In week three, we were looking at rights ethics with regards to Locke. As a reminder, Locke said we have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. It is immoral to violate them. Many think we have more rights than those listed by Locke. Some even think we have a right to health care. That means it is the duty of the state to provide each citizen with their medical needs.

Rights theory says to respect the entitlements we have. If a right is inalienable, it cannot truly be violated ethically even with our consent. We have basic needs. Rights are something beyond needs. They are what we should be authorized to have. We are due what we have a right to. That is not always the case with need. For example, we need food, but people often go hungry. A need refers to something we need physically to exist. A right is a moral entitlement to something. Asking if we have a right to food is a moral question. Needs are determined by the requirements of the body and of material existence. Rights are determined by moral reflection, inquiry, an argument We have a right to own property. We do not need it to live. We could imaginably be allowed to use another’s. We have a right to own a home. We can rent.

Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1: Assess the moral solutions arrived at through “care” (care-based ethics) and “rights” ethics to social issues of ethical import such as poverty, drug use, and/or lack of health care,

That is, note any ethical problems that arise related to those particular issues. Then, say how both care-based and rights theory of ethics would solve those problems.

Are those solutions correct? Why or why not?

What is your own approach there?

Option 2: What moral guidelines should we use when it comes to recently introduced healthcare technologies of any kind (you will note and engage with your own examples) and social technologies of any kind (you will note and engage with your own examples)?

Involve care-based ethics in your answer

Holistic Communication: A caring, healing process that calls forth the full use of

self in interacting with another. It incorporates the constructs and processes of therapeutic communication within a framework that acknowledges the infinite, spiritual, and energetic nature of Being, the centrality of being heart-centered, and the importance of intention, self-knowledge, transcendent presence, and intuition in our interactions. (Dossey & Keegan, 2016)

Therapeutic Communication: A goal-directed form of communication used to achieve goals that promote client health and well-being. Empathy, unconditional regard, genuineness, respect, concern, caring, and compassion are conveyed through active listening, active observing, focusing, restating, reflecting, and interpreting.
