You work in the Ethics Department for ABC Company (ABC). Your department is dedicated to advising its employees about their ethical obligations in the corporate setting. You are an internal consultant who provides advice and most importantly, recommendations for action to employees of the firm. All communications you receive in this capacity are confidential. Luke, an employee of ABC, comes to you with the following scenario and asks for your advice. He wants to fully consider the situation. Your task is to advise and recommend a course of action based on the specified ethical lenses and facts as given. Below are the facts that Luke provides to you.

Luke has been asked to work on a project that involves developing land recently purchased by ABC to build an adult entertainment retail store. According to the plan, the land is located on the corner of the neighborhood where Owen, Luke's brother, lives.

Luke knows that as soon as the plans for the store are made public, property values for the surrounding neighborhood will decrease significantly. ABC plans to publicly announce the project one month from today.

Luke is concerned about his obligations of confidentiality to his company. However, Luke is also very close to Owen, who recently told Luke that he received an offer to sell his house at an "okay" price given the current real estate market. Owen is considering selling but hasn't made any final decision yet. He wonders if he might get a better offer a few years from now when the real estate market improves. What is the ethical issue, why is this an issue, and what should Luke do about it?

For assignment 3, prepare a memo, setting out your analysis and recommendations, that considers ONLY the following two theories: Golden Rule and Virtue Ethics. (750-1000 words)

Remember:
Each theories should apply like this: Should write clearly how EACH rule will work in this case, considering all the benefit and harms, what are all the consequences (social harms and benefits). What are the criticism of the theory, how could they influence luke's decision, and what Luke must do as per this theory. In the end, show clearly which one of choices results in the greater good for great numbers. Most importantly, argument need to be developed more clearly to consider all consequences on all affected stakeholders

while applying the theory, you could have discussed what kind of world it would be if all employees shared information with their relatives/friends at the expense of their companies. How would it affect business enviornment?

All agrument needed to be developed more fully application of the theories concincingly. Also, all aspects related to the theories needed to be considersed in their application

For recommendation: how 2 theories above make a recommendation to Luke. Hence, final recommendation should be one or bothe of the theories discussed above, not personal preference. Also, the spirit of the theory, not just the words. Most importantly, final recommendation for Luke need to be supported by argument made toward application of theories to case facts.
