PHI 360 Business Ethics Spring 2020 Final Exam 120 points ALAYNA MACDONALD Your submission of this exam equals your promise to having taken it alone, and that you did not use the Internet. Short Answer: What are the five stages of informed consent as presented in Collins- Chobanian’s Environmental labels? (5 points) The five stages of Collins-Chobanian’s Environmental labels are as followed: The first is that all known information about the product is disclosed, this is including risks from the product to both the user and the environment. The second is the information disclosed must be understood. The information must be accessible and comprehensible for the consumer. The third is that the consumer must be competent to make the decision. An example being children are not considered competent to make the decision of whether or not to smoke tobacco. The fourth is that the decision mist be voluntary and not coerced in any way. The fifth is that the person must go through the action of giving consent. For a product this consent would be purchasing the product. ( I got these from the Consumption notes and wrote them) What are the Environmental Rights that Collins-Chobanian argues for, and for what are they prerequisites? (10 points) The Environmental Rights hat Collins-Chobanion argues for is the basic needs for life including clean air, clean water and clean soil. The prerequisites are the right to life and all other human rights. What is carrying capacity? Has Phoenix exceeded its carrying capacity? Explain why or why not. (5 points) Carrying Capacity is the amount of life that an ecosystem can support, long-term. Phoenix has reached carrying capacity because of how compact it is. Major crops

What are three characteristics Korten lists for each a living economy and a suicide economy? What do you think the most important thing in a suicide economy that should be stopped? What do you think the most important thing in a living economy that should be mandated? (20 points) Three characteristics for a suicide economy are absentee ownership, monopoly and the concentration of power delinked from obligation to people or place. Three characteristics for a living economy are meeting the basic needs for people, decisions are made by those who will bear the consequences and each community exchanges resources which produces in surplus for those it cannot reasonably produce at home on terms that support living age jobs and high environmental standards everywhere. I believe that the most important thing in a suicide economy we need to stop is concentration of power. Rather then putting majority of our focus on power we need to put our focus on the people and giving them the basic needs that a living economy does. The most important thing in a living economy that I believe should be mandated is basic needs for people. There are to many people in the community that do not have the basic needs that they need to survive. This should be mandated to allow for the push of basic needs. Why does your professor argue for calling “GMOs” Transgenic Agricultural Biotechnology (TAB)? (5 points) The reason that the professor argues calling for calling “GMOs” Transgenic Agricultural Biotechnology (TAB) is because humans have been genetically modifying crops since agriculture began. TAB is the forced crossing of two or more different species which has only mean going on for a few decades. What did you find to be the most important part of The Story of Stuff ? (5 points) What I found the most important part of The Story of Stuff is that if we just stopped burning trash we would no longer be creating the advanced toxin called Dioxin. This toxin that is being created is more powerful then the toxins that were
