Business Ethics assignment : Abbot_1

1BUSINESS ETHICS The essay aims to analyze the actions of Abbot in relation to the legal principles and ethics. It can be said that every person who is a member of the society has an obligation which is ethical in nature to the society at large and other individuals of the society. The ethical theory that is to be used to assess the actions of Abbot is “Rights and Duties” The government has also formulated a set of legal principles which are codified and which are based on voluntary and unmodified ethics in order to ensure that peace and harmony is maintained in the society. It is the obligation of the people to comply with such ethical legal principles. As opined by 1 it can be said that the ethical theory of Rights and Duties focuses on ensuring that people perform their duties and protect the rights of others. It can be said that the right and the duties imposed upon individuals are often absolute2. Thus it can be stated that only in very rare circumstances the rights and duties as granted to individuals can be taken away or compromised.Thus after analyzing the facts of the case in relation to the principles of the ethical theory of ‘Rights and Duties’ it can be said that the act of staling meat from the grocery store of Ms Costello cannot be justified. It can be stated that Abbot has the duty to comply with legal principles and respect and protect the social right of Ms Costello. Although, Abbot comes from a poor family and has to make contribute to family’s income and has to fund his higher studies. However, indulging in an activity of stealing cannot be justified by poverty. It can be said that it is the ethical responsibility of an individual to not deprive any other person of his own property. The basic act of stealing is inherently unethical3.
