1.A
Captain Cozier’s level of moral understanding and reasoning was in my opinion, very mature,
and showed signs of the post conventional stage. He showed empathy and compassion for his
crew and tried to put their safety first. Even if it meant challenging the chain of command and
risking his career, his actions were driven by a sense of duty and a commitment to the greater
good.
2.A
Thomas Modly's level of moral maturity and reasoning show to be at a lower stage, likely at the
conventional stage. He prioritized maintaining bureaucratic control of the navy over the safety of
his sailors. His actions, such as firing Captain Crozier without a formal investigation, seemed to
prioritize institutional interests.
3.A
Rear Admiral Stuart Baker's moral maturity and reasoning might also be at a conventional
stage, as he didn’t agree with Captain Crozier's and favored a less drastic approach. However,
it's essential to note that his perspective may have been influenced by his role in the chain of
command.
4.A
Defense Secretary Mark Esper's level of moral maturity and reasoning is harder to understand
based solely on this one circumstance, as he did not intervene in the same way Modly did. His
involvement seemed more related to aligning with the administration's messaging on the
pandemic, making his moral reasoning less clear.
1.B
Crozier's approach most closely aligns with altruism. He prioritized the safety and well-being of
his crew, even at the risk of his career, demonstrating selflessness and priority over his crew.
2.B
Modly's approach seems more aligned with ethical egoism. The way he handled the situation
was poor, and preferred to upkeep his reputation and that of the navy’s over the safety of the
crew.
3.B
Rear Admiral Stuart Baker's approach might lean toward utilitarianism. He disagreed with
Captain Crozier's proposal, possibly believing it was the best course of action to maintain
operational readiness while minimizing risks to the crew. Therefore trying to find the best overall
solution for those involved.
4.B
In this case, elements of the Toxic Leadership Triangle, which includes narcissism,
manipulation, and lack of empathy, were not prominently evident in Captain Crozier's actions.
Instead, Captain Crozier's actions were driven by a genuine concern for his crew's safety.
Modly’s approach was more in line with that of a toxic leader. He showed no selflessness or
much regard to his crew compared to Captain Cozier.
5.B
Captain Brett Crozier's leadership reflected the principles of integrity and courage. He stood up
for the safety and well-being of his crew, even in the face of potential consequences to his own
career.Thomas Modly's leadership appeared to prioritize hierarchy and discipline over ethical
principles. He did not demonstrate transparency or empathy in handling the situation.
6.B
Whether Captain Crozier should be reinstated or not is hard to say. It depends on the outcome
of the investigation and the Navy's general assessment of his leadership. I believe the
investigation will show that his actions were justified and aligned with the best interests of the
crew, and reinstatement may be the most appropriate course of action.
