Business Ethical Challenges Associated with COVID-19 Abstract COVID-19 has led to unprecedented impacts on all spheres of society. A significant part of 2020 has been affected, and enterprises have lost a considerable market share as consumers reduce their average spending habits. The day-to-day impacts at schools, during travel, workplaces, and social gatherings were adversely affected as nations issued travel advisories and “stay at home” directives for all people. Primarily, corporates have faced challenges in ethical considerations that guide transactions and consumer-seller relationship. Corporate assessment of critical concerns on stakeholder interests, shareholders, employees, government, and communities rely on the formulation of new engagement rules. Corporate flexibility at such a time enhances the chances of navigating the COVID-19 crisis and reduce the loss margins. The use of the digital space in business management ushers a new phase of corporate sustenance in an economically unreliable environment. However, the formulation of counter-COVID-19 business management procedures, including redrafting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), redefines the engagement rules for consumers and sellers. The comprehension of a short and long-term business policy guides the ethical direction a company…

Name Professor Course Submission Date Analysis of Edward Koch’s “Death and Justice” In the essay Death and Justice: How Capital Punishment Affirms Life, Edward Koch expresses his standpoint on the death penalty and attempts to persuade the readers why the penalty is justified. He claims that justice requires adequate punishment for the crime of murder. The author contends that other forms of punishment are inadequate for such a crime compared to the death sentence. He argues that the huge U.S. murder rates coupled with the fact that “murders will murder again,” calls for the enactment of capital punishment. According to him, state-sanctioned murder preserves the sanctity of life and ensures that the society is free of cold-blood killers (Koch). The essay first appeared in the New Republic magazine. It targets capital punishment opponents, people sitting on the fence, as well as proponents who did not know how to convince others.  In the article, Koch counters seven of the most common arguments that death penalty foes present using standard techniques. First, in regards to the claim that capital punishment is barbaric,…

How does the ‘Painters Analogy’ answer the ‘Dreaming Doubt’? Descartes uses the Painter Analogy to limit the extent of the skeptical application of the dreaming hypothesis. Besides, it is used as a conduit to ferry the meditator from attachment to the external world via senses to the intellectual world. The analogy is composed of two phases. The first takes both the colors and the items of the composition to be real. These include the head, hands, eyes, and body. As Descartes used, this first phase reminds the meditator of the naivety of the standard empiricist’s view that thought is passive. And only the active senses furnish all items of knowledge. This phase does not respond well correctly to the dreaming doubt. It requires things to be real for it to be valid. Descartes 1974 denotes that “ I am here, clothed in my dressing gown, seated next to the fireplace when, in fact, am lying undressed in bed.” He is dreaming and feels like the thing happening are actual in though they are not real. They are not accurate because…
