The purpose of this assignment is to recognise that ethical issues are an important element of all daily life. Your research will enable you to engage with real world issues of an ethical nature, identify them and think critically about them through an application of the core vocabulary of the course. You will refine your ability to recognise the objective and subjective packaging and expression of ideas in what you read and the way that you write. This supports a better understanding of critical thinking. This assignment has four steps:
Step One: Find a website or an electronic document from the databases that links to ethics.
Step Two: Using objective, non-emotional, non-judgemental language, in 100 words describe your source and summarise the facts relating to the issue.

the difference
this course

at least 8 more words from the specialised vocabulary list
(40 marks).
an explanation of why you did not use others the ones remaining.
(15 marks)

15 marks
)
Your goal is to comment on the issue the website engages using the vocabulary of the course. The following questions may be of help, but you are free to create your own providing they also draw on the vocabulary:
What beliefs are at work? Do they conflict? Do you share or rejectthem? Are they new to you?
What values are supported by the beliefs? Are those values sacred, secular or both? What emotions accompany the values?
How, if at all, would ‘reason’, ’emotion’ or the ‘law’ intervene in the debate?
Is anyone in the situation denied agency?
Is there a moral/ethical agent and/or subject?
Why
is this issue relevant to ethics? Is it also a moral issue?
How might critical thinking change the way people engage with this issue?
Step Four: Go to Assessment> Folder Two>Submission point.

Economic theory assumes that people act rationally and maximize their total satisfaction. Explain this proposition and discuss whether people who spend 30 days a year commuting fulfill these assumptions.

You are the procurement manager of a NSW based specialist chocolate company, whose product focus in the quality of imported Cocoa from overseas locations, primarily West Africa. In addition to the emphasis on quality, the organisation prides itself on its socially responsive sourcing practises.
It has come to the attention of the senior executive of the firms—due to increased social awareness and pressure—that there are a number of vulnerabilities in your current supply chain concerning the exploitation of workers and the lack of sustainable practises utilised by your suppliers.
The executive have requested you
analyse the major labour and sustainability issues that faced the procurement of cocoa within your organisation,
and outline the
best practises towards ensuring your organisation procurement goals aligned with both the UN Global Compacts and Australian procurement standards.
In addition to your own research, the links and documents on Moodle can help as a starting point.
