Answering the questionsa. What is the morally right thing to do in the case and why do you think it is right, given yourmoral world view? Ans : The thing that is morally right here is that Robert did not want the community to get suffer.It is because the mill has been a great source and contributor to the basic facilities of the peopleof the town. So, an unexpected closure for them would be disappointing and heartbreaking forthem. So, what Robert did was morally right. I also think that this is right because an unexpectedclosure of the mill would have been very disappointing for the whole town. The mill wasworking efficient because of the new techniques involved by Robert but it was said by the seniormanagers that the mill might get closed because of the involvement of old technology. I alsothink that this was a very appropriate opportunity for Robert but he thought of the people of thetown and on that basis, took the decision of not accepting the offer of a new job and continuingthe mill. IT was because the new southern mill, in Hobart was involving new technologies andthe one in Tasmania was having old technology. The senior managers also told Robert to keep itconfidential in order to avoid any sort of industrial conflict. They made it confidential becausethey knew it was wrong to close the mill on a very short notice. So, I think what Robert did wasright because unexpectedly limiting the resources that are being used by enormous number ofpeople is not good. Also, it can throw a major impact on the mental stability of the person. So, Ithink what Robert did was correct enough. It is because Robert even did not take the job offer aswell as Hobart has most probably more number of job opportunities than Tasmania. b. What moral norms or values would voice, and how do they flow from your world view?Ans : The moral norms that can be implemented here is that the senior managers told Robert notto discuss about the closure. This was not right because when the town is dependent on thefacilities from the mill, in that case, limiting the mill to expand its operations any more justbecause they are making use of old technology is not correct. It is important to be consideredbecause here when people are dependent on the operations and processes of the mill, thenstopping the mill on a very short notice without information the people of the town is not correct.It is because if they will not be informed, how they can get to know the other various ways sothat they can investigate about other options from where they can continue the same. It was ahuge step for Robert as well because shifting in the Hobart mill had great opportunities for him1
