Justify your answer using two ethical theories.
01:22
The first theory i chose was virtue ethics.
01:28
This states good actions are ones that display virtuous character traits, such as courage and loyalty.
01:55
The next one i chose was deontology.
02:05
This states actions are good or bad according to a set of rules.
02:34
So in terms of virtue ethics, it would be virtuous for michael tudel.
02:40
Report his boss, he would be displaying courage and wisdom by doing the right thing.
02:56
It is illegal to steal another company's private information.
03:04
Therefore, according to deontology, michael should also report his boss.
03:11
Do you perceive michael's boss to be ethical or unethical? so based off of these theories, i definitely would say that michael's boss is being unethical...
