Some Questions about the Moral Responsibilities of Drug Companies in Developing Countries Brock, Dan W Developing World Bioethics, vol. 1, no. 1, pp. 33-37, May 2001


An Unequal Activism for an Unequal Epidemic? Selemogo, Mpho Developing World Bioethics, vol. 5, no. 2, pp. 153-168, May 2005 This paper observes that a substantially large moral duty of dealing with the AIDS situation in Africa has been placed on the drug companies and argues that this approach is inequitable. Using the poverty-AIDS relationship and the human rights framework it argues for a more balanced AIDS activism, which puts equal pressure on all potential stakeholders in the war against AIDS. It argues that this redistribution of the HIV/AIDS moral burden is perhaps the only hope for curbing the African AIDS epidemic that continues to ravage communities on that continent.


Is Self-Identity Image Advertising Ethical? Bishop, John Douglas Business Ethics Quarterly, vol. 10, no. 2, pp. 371-398, April 2000 This paper argues that image ads are not false or misleading and that whether or not they advocate false values is a matter of subjective reflection. Image ads can undermine a consumer's self-esteem by collectively omitting images authentic for that sort of person (such as large women) and by combining impossible images with implied gaze. Image ads generally do not undermine autonomy of choice, internal autonomy, or social autonomy. It is concluded that image advertising is a basically ethical technique, but several recommendations are given on how use of image advertising can avoid specific harms. (edited)


Towards a New Paradigm in the Ethics of Women's Advertising Cohan, John Alan Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 33, no. 4, pp. 323-337, October 2001 This paper identifies the ethical issues involved with women's advertising, and argues that ads can be successful in generating sales without portraying women as things or as mere sex objects, and without perpetuating various weakness stereotypes. A paradigm shift in advertising appears to be at hand. This new model replaces images of women as submissive or constantly in a need of alteration, with a move to reinstate beauty as a natural thing, not an unattainable ideal. (edited)

The Business Responsibility for Wealth Distribution in a Globalized Political-Economy Merging Moral Economics and Catholic Social Teaching Kohls, John; Christensen, Sandra L Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 35, no. 3, pp. 223-234, February 2002 This paper asserts that businesses have a responsibility to consider the wealth distribution effects of their wealth-creating decisions. We use arguments from moral economics and Catholic social teaching to support this assertion, deriving decision principles that we apply to the Starbucks fair-trade coffee case. (edited)


Ethical Consumerism: The Case of Fairly-Traded Coffee Bird, Kate; Hughes, David R Business Ethics: A European Review, vol. 6, no. 3, pp. 159-167, July 1997   Consumer concern for "ethical products," or ethical aspects of the goods which they purchase, is a subject of increasing interest and research, which is here illustrated by an examination of the Fair Trade movement, with special reference to coffee as an indicative commodity.(edited)



Fair Trade: The Scope of the Debate Anderson, Tim; Riedl, Elisabeth Australian Journal of Professional and Applied Ethics, vol. 8, no. 1, pp. 6-18, June           'Fair trade' refers to a bewildering array of quite different proposals. Even 'free trade' often identifies with arguments about fairness. This paper analyses the variants of 'fair trade', dividing the arguments into three broad categories: 'free trade' as fairness, fairness through linking labour rights to trade liberalisation, and fairness through proposals for value redistribution. Each of these broad categories contains important subvariants, which we introduce and explain. We conclude with comments about the legitimacy of the various arguments.



Fair Trade: Three Key Challenges for Reaching the Mainstream

Ferrie, Jared; Hira, Anil Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 63, no. 2, pp. 107-118, January 2006 This article addresses several major remaining challenges: (a) a lack of agreement about what fair trade really means and how it should be certified; (b) uneven awareness and availability across different areas, with marked differences between some parts of Europe and North America that reflect more fundamental debates about distribution; (c) larger questions about the extent of the potential contribution of fair trade to development under the current system, including limitations on the number and types of workers affected and the fair trade focus on commodity goods.

Does Autonomy Count in Favor of Labeling Genetically Modified Food?

Hansen, Kirsten Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, vol. 17, no. 1, pp. 67-76, 2004 In this paper I argue that consumer autonomy does not count in favor of the labeling of genetically modified foods (GM foods) more than for the labeling of non-GM foods. Further, reasonable considerations support the view that it is non-GM ...


Anne Marie Todd - The Aesthetic Turn in Green Marketing: Environmental Consumer Ethics of Natural Personal Care Products - Ethics & the Environment 9:2 Ethics & the Environment 9.2 (2004) 86-102 The Aesthetic Turn in Green Marketing Environmental Consumer Ethics of Natural Personal Care Products Anne Marie Todd Abstract Green consumerism is on the rise in America, but its environmental effects are contested. Does green marketing contribute to the greening of American consciousness, or does it encourage corporate greenwashing? This tenuous ethical position means that eco-marketers must carefully frame their environmental products in a way that appeals to consumers with environmental ethics and buyers who consider natural products as well as conventional items. Thus, eco-marketing constructs a complicated ethical identity for the green consumer. Environmentally aware individuals are already guided by their personal ethics. In trying to attract new consumers, environmentally minded businesses attach an aesthetic quality to environmental goods. In an era where environmentalism is increasingly hip, what are the implications for an environmental ethics infused with a sense of aesthetics? This article analyzes the promotional materials of three companies that advertise their environmental consciousness: Burt's Bee's Inc., Tom's of Maine, Inc., and The Body Shop Inc. Responding to an increasing online shopping market, these companies make their promotional ...

Cafaro, Philip, "Less is More: Economic Consumption and the Good Life." Philosophy Today 42(1998): 26-39. We should judge economic consumption on whether it improves or detracts from our lives, and act on that basis. The issue of consumption is placed in the context of living a good life, in order to discuss its justifiable limits. Two important areas of our economic activity, food consumption and transportation, are examined from an eudaimonist perspective. From the perspective of our enlightened self-interest, we see that when it comes to economic consumption, less is more. Not always, and not beyond a certain minimum level. But often, less is more; especially for the middle and upper class members of wealthy industrial societies. This is the proper perspective from which to consider environmentalists' calls for limiting consumption in order to protect nature. (v.9,#3)

Eckersley, Robyn, "Free Market Environmentalism: Friend or Foe?", Environmental Politics 2(1993):1-19. "Free market environmentalism" proposes that environmental problems can be solved by creating and enforcing tradeable property rights in respect of common environmental assets. But while the market can allocate resources efficiently, it cannot by itself perform the task of setting an optimal (in the sense of just) distribution of income nor an optimal (in the sense of sustainable scale) of the economy relative to the ecosystem. There are certain specific environmental problems where "free market environmentalism" may prove to be the most appropriate solution (it can, for example, promote energy efficiency through market mechanisms), but it is inappropriate as a blanket solution to the ecological crisis. This calls for economic policies concerned with three broad goals: economic efficiency, social justice and ecological sustainability. Eckersley is in politics at Monash University, Australia. A useful response by Michael Jacobs (University of Lancaster, UK) is in the Winter 1993 issue, vol. 2, no. 4. (v5,#4)

On Pacific Lumber as a case study: The clear-cutting of the redwood forests under the direction of Charles Hurwitz’s takeover of the company epitomizes the clash between the short-term economic interests of corporations and the longer term interests of environmentalists (such as aesthetic preservation, habitat protection, sustainable land use). Newton asks whether legal structures and government regulation can intervene and if so, to what extent? The answers involve a closer look at the general responsibilities of business interests to the larger community as well as an examination of private property rights.

When is Lying Morally Permissible? Casuistical Reflections on the Game Analogy, Self-Defense, Social Contract Ethics. Van Wyk, Robert N One justification for lying and deception draws analogies between situations in which deception is justified and games such as poker. Another justification is similar to the justification for the use of force in self-defense. This paper discusses such justifications and reaches conclusions about when they are legitimate and when not. However, even when one has a "right" to deceive, one must still ask about the effect of deception on one's own character. The paper refers to various examples including some from "Is Business Bluffing Ethical?" by Albert Carr, a paper that appears in a number of business ethics and introduction to ethics anthologies.

Game Theory As a Model for Business and Business Ethics Solomon, Robert C Business Ethics Quarterly, vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 11-29, January 1999       Game theory has become a celebrated discipline in its own right, and it now plays a prestigious role in many disciplines, including ethics, due in particular to the neo-Hobbesian thinking of David Gauthier and others. Now it is perched at the edge of business ethics. I believe that it is dangerous and demeaning. It makes us look the wrong way at business, reinforcing a destructive obsession with measurable outcomes and a false sense of competition. It falsely characterizes or insidiously advocates a style of human behavior that is utterly unacceptable. (edited)

 The Endemic Reality of Media Ethics and Self-Restraint Morant, Blake D Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics and Public Policy, vol. 19, no. 2, pp. 595-636, 2005  Written for a symposium on media and ethics, this article explores the efficacy of the news media's self-imposed rules of journalistic ethics as mechanisms that temper reporting behavior. Virtually all media have adopted an ethical code, the terms of which revolve around concepts of truth and integrity. These codes operate in tandem with natural market forces that encourage responsible journalistic behavior. The dissemination of truthful information garners larger audiences, a phenomenon that motivates the news media to preserve its integrity. The media's continual quest for truth is not, however, as a panacea. The industry must take steps to inculcate ethical rules into its reporting behavior. This article, therefore, implores the news media to reinforce the tenets of ethic codes through training and conscious emphasis. Furthermore, the industry must inform its audience of the salience and prevalence of ethical codes and their specific implementation in its operations.

The Ethics of Consumption Activities: A Future Paradigm? Buchholz, Rogene A

Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 17, no. 8, pp. 871-882, June 1998 Concern about the environment and sustainable growth has raised questions related to resource availability and limits regarding the ability of the planet to provide everyone with an improved material standard of living. Such concerns lead to charges that the industrialized world, particularly the United States, is living beyond its means and taking more than its share of resources to produce a life style that is not sustainable. Whether overconsumption is a legitimate problem and changing patterns of consumption are necessary are questions that need discussion. (edited)

Autonomous Consumption: Buying into the Ideology of Capitalism Cunningham, Anne Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 48, no. 3, pp. 229-236, December 2003 The purpose of this article is to examine three different approaches to autonomy in order to demonstrate how each leads to a different conclusion about the ethicality of advertising. I contend that Noggle's (1995) belief-based autonomy theory provides the most complete understanding of autonomy. Read in conjunction with Arendt's theory of cooperative power, Noggle's theory leads to the conclusion that advertising does not violate consumers' autonomy. Although it is possible for advertisers to abuse the power granted them by society these abuses do not constitute a violation of consumers' autonomy.

The Social Responsibilities of International Business Firms in Developing Areas Bird, Frederick; Smucker, Joseph Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 73, no. 1, pp. 1-9, June 2007 Three principles must be taken into account in assessing the social responsibilities of international business firms in developing areas. The first is an awareness of the historical and institutional dynamics of local communities. The second is the necessity of nonintimidating communication with local constituencies. The third is the degree to which the firm's operations safeguard and, indeed, improve the social and economic assets of local communities. At issue is the question of adequate compensation for the inevitable disruptions that an international business brings to a local community. Beneficial returns must be shared and sustained over the long term in an equitable manner. The nine studies in this special edition illustrate in different ways the importance of these three principles. (edited)

 

 

Globalization, Interconnectedness, and Wal-Mart the Bully Collins, Denis Business Ethics Quarterly, vol. 16, no. 2, pp. 289-304, April 2006    This article takes a critical look at Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat. Missing from Friedman's list of barriers to successful globalization are the capitalist bullies whose behaviors are described so well by Marx. Absent an assertive referee, a level playing field provides the local capitalist bully, such as Wal-Mart, more room to impose its self-centered will on vulnerable populations.

 

Ethical Immunity in Business: A Response to Two Arguments Piker, Andrew Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 36, no. 4, pp. 337-346, April 2002 In this paper I examine the claim that business persons have what might be called "ethical immunity" with respect to the duty not to deceive. According to this ethical immunity claim, business persons are exempt from the ordinary ethical prohibition against deception; and widespread business deception is therefore ethically permissible. I focus on two arguments for the claim. (edited)

Cafaro, Philip, "Less is More: Economic Consumption and the Good Life." Philosophy Today 42(1998): 26-39. We should judge economic consumption on whether it improves or detracts from our lives, and act on that basis. The issue of consumption is placed in the context of living a good life, in order to discuss its justifiable limits. Two important areas of our economic activity, food consumption and transportation, are examined from an eudaimonist perspective. From the perspective of our enlightened self-interest, we see that when it comes to economic consumption, less is more. Not always, and not beyond a certain minimum level. But often, less is more; especially for the middle and upper class members of wealthy industrial societies. This is the proper perspective from which to consider environmentalists' calls for limiting consumption in order to protect nature. (v.9,#3)

Eckersley, Robyn, "Free Market Environmentalism: Friend or Foe?", Environmental Politics 2(1993):1-19. "Free market environmentalism" proposes that environmental problems can be solved by creating and enforcing tradeable property rights in respect of common environmental assets. But while the market can allocate resources efficiently, it cannot by itself perform the task of setting an optimal (in the sense of just) distribution of income nor an optimal (in the sense of sustainable scale) of the economy relative to the ecosystem. There are certain specific environmental problems where "free market environmentalism" may prove to be the most appropriate solution (it can, for example, promote energy efficiency through market mechanisms), but it is inappropriate as a blanket solution to the ecological crisis. This calls for economic policies concerned with three broad goals: economic efficiency, social justice and ecological sustainability. Eckersley is in politics at Monash University, Australia. A useful response by Michael Jacobs (University of Lancaster, UK) is in the Winter 1993 issue, vol. 2, no. 4. (v5,#4)
