Please, please, please help me I do not understand the material!! This is for a 30 point checkpoint that was due Wednesday. I haven't gotten far because I don't get the stakeholder impact analysis. I got 95% on the appendix B matrix about consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. I also understand the 3 approaches to decision making the 5-question, Pastin's and Moral Standards approaches. Can someone please help get me started?
Describe, in 200 to 300 words, how you might conduct a stakeholder impact analysis of Scenario 1 of Appendix B using each of the stakeholder impact analysis approaches: moral standards, five-question, and Pastin’s approach.
This is the scenario-
The mayor of a small seaside town faces a tough decision. A prominent developer has submitted a proposal to build a large mall and resort in the town. This development is estimated to bring $150 million in tourism each year and several hundred new jobs to the community, which badly needs the economic boost. The proposed location of the new development, however, is a site that now houses the only nursing home and senior citizens’ recreation center in the area. Both the nursing home and recreation center would have to be demolished, affecting 100 seniors and 30 employees. There is no other location in town where the new development can be built. How should the mayor decide: in favor of economic prosperity or in defense of his elderly citizens?
Student responses must correctly describe how to conduct a stakeholder impact analysis using each of the three approaches described in Ch. 5: moral standards, 5-question, and Pastin’s approach.
Responses should address the following key points in the context of the scenario:
Descriptions of the three standards that comprise the moral standards approach: utilitarian, individual rights, and justice
Identification of the questions used in the 5-question approach:
1. Is the decision profitable? 2. Is the decision legal? 3.Is the decision fair? 4. Is the decision right? 5. Does the decision further sustainable development?
Descriptions of the four key aspects of Pastin’s approach:
1. Ground rule ethics 2. End-point ethics 3. Rule ethics 4. Social contract ethics
I don't understand any of the content, but let's look at the directions carefully.
What is a "stakeholder impact analysis"? Does it include specific types of information? In any particular order?
What do these mean?
1. Ground rule ethics
2. End-point ethics
3. Rule ethics
4. Social contract ethics
Make sure all of these items are included:
Descriptions of the three standards that comprise the moral standards approach:
~ utilitarian,
~ individual rights, and
~ justice
Identification of the questions used in the 5-question approach:
1. Is the decision profitable?
2. Is the decision legal?
3.Is the decision fair?
4. Is the decision right?
5. Does the decision further sustainable development?
To conduct a stakeholder impact analysis of Scenario 1 using the moral standards approach, you would need to consider three standards: utilitarian, individual rights, and justice.
1. Utilitarian: This standard focuses on maximizing overall happiness or utility for the greatest number of people. In this scenario, you would need to consider the economic prosperity and job opportunities that the new development would bring to the community. You would weigh the potential benefits against the negative impact on the elderly citizens and employees of the nursing home and recreation center.
2. Individual Rights: This standard emphasizes the protection of individual rights and freedoms. In this case, you would consider the rights of the elderly citizens and the employees at the nursing home and recreation center. Their right to housing, healthcare, and employment should be taken into account when making the decision.
3. Justice: This standard focuses on fairness and equality. In this situation, you would evaluate whether the decision to demolish the nursing home and recreation center is fair to the elderly citizens and employees. You would assess whether alternative solutions or mitigations can be implemented to ensure a fair outcome for all stakeholders.
For the 5-question approach, you would need to answer the following questions:
1. Is the decision profitable? Consider the economic benefits the new development would bring versus the cost of demolishing the nursing home and recreation center.
2. Is the decision legal? Evaluate whether the proposed development complies with all relevant laws and regulations.
3. Is the decision fair? Assess whether the decision treats all stakeholders involved, especially the elderly citizens and employees, with fairness and equity.
4. Is the decision right? Consider the ethical implications of the decision, taking into account the potential harm to the elderly citizens and employees, as well as the economic benefits to the community.
5. Does the decision further sustainable development? Examine whether the decision aligns with the principles of sustainable development, such as environmental sustainability and social well-being.
Finally, using Pastin’s approach, you would consider the following key aspects:
1. Ground rule ethics: Assess the foundational principles that guide decision-making, such as honesty, transparency, and respect for the dignity of all stakeholders.
2. End-point ethics: Consider the long-term consequences and impacts of the decision. Evaluate whether the economic benefits of the new development outweigh the potential harm caused to the elderly citizens and employees.
3. Rule ethics: Examine the ethical principles or rules that should govern the decision-making process. Consider the importance of fairness, justice, and respect for individual rights.
4. Social contract ethics: Evaluate the obligations and responsibilities that exist within the social contract of the community. Consider whether the decision aligns with the community's values and the expectations of its members.
By taking these approaches into account, you can conduct a comprehensive stakeholder impact analysis of Scenario 1. Remember to weigh the benefits and costs, consider the ethical implications, and evaluate the fairness and long-term consequences of the decision.
