MGT 2000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Eminent Domain, Soundness, Deductive Reasoning
Document Summary
Reason ethical deductive: if one can prevent something bad/great harm from happening (without comparable sacrifices, then one is ethically obligated to do so) Eminent domain: the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation and you cannot refuse to sell. Ethical obligation: prevent the harm report the harm. Validity: the conclusion follows necessarily from the premises. Example: all females are mothers -false, fran is a female, fran is a mother. All premises are not true, so it is not sound because sound requires validity. Deductive ethical reasoning moves from a general ethical principle to a specific ethical judgment or conclusion. For example, consider the lonestar case (presented 1st day in class). Julia martinez (specific premise of fact). (specific premise of fact). (cid:886). By reporting ron french"s behavior, jack does not make a comparable moral sacrifice (cid:887).
