Question 5

‘Utilitarianism’ is the idea that ‘the best ethical position is the one that produces the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people’. Think about when companies are having difficult financial times and they keep the senior executives who earn a $1,000,000.00 a year and retrench the workers who earn $20,000.00. 

Think deeply about this situation where keeping well paid executives and retrenching poorly paid workers occurs and discuss whther you think it is ethical.

Discuss your opinion and support your claims/arguments with research findings.
