Critical Analysis Paper: You will be tasked with writing a Critical Analysis essay (4 to 6 pages, excluding cover and reference pages).

You will explore a specific case/event pertaining to that individual.
Body Paragraph 1 – Shaw (2017) in-text citations (Ponzi Scheme)
1) “In a ponzi scheme, a con artist takes in money from investors but keeps it for himself rather than investing it as promised (Shaw, 2017)”. Page 44
2) “But what are the appropriate principles to rely on when making moral judgments? The truth is that there is no consensus among people who have studied ethics and reflected on these matters. Different theories exist as to the proper standard of right and wrong. As the British philosopher Bernard Williams put it, we are heirs to a rich and complex ethical tradition, in which a variety of different moral principles and ethical considerations intertwine and sometimes compete” (Shaw, 2017). Possibly paraphrase???? Page 45
Body Paragraph 2 – Shaw (2017) in-text citations (Social Responsibility)
1) “According to Friedman, to say that executives have social responsibility beyond the pursuit of profit means that they must sometimes subordinate owner interests to some social objective, such as controlling pollution or fighting inflation. They are then spending stockholder money for general social interests – in effect, taxing the owners and spending those taxes on social causes.” Page 165
2) “They see the modern corporation as a social institution that should consider the interests of all the groups it has an impact on. Sometimes called the social entity model or the stakeholder model, this broader view maintains that a corporation has obligations not only to its stakeholders but also to other constituencies that affect or are affected by its behavior-that is, to all parties that have a legitimate interest (a stake) in what the corporation does or doesn’t do.” Page 166
Body Paragraph 3 – Shaw (2017) in-text citations (Justice)
1) “Justice requires that people get what they deserve or, as a number of ancient moralists put it, that each receive his or her due.” Page 87
2) “Justice, then, is an important subclass of morality in general, a subclass that generally involves appeals to the overlapping notions of fairness, equality, desert, and rights.” Page 87
