The ethics of surrogate motherhood (Kantian and utilitarian ethical frameworks)

Analyze the situation described in this New York Times article from the Kantian and utilitarian ethical frameworks. You don’t have to explore both, but you do have to state which approach you’re taking and then apply that approach. This is the link to the new york times article. https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/world/asia/10su… 1 paragraph will be enough.

COUNTRY RESEARCH PROJECT/MERCHANDISER’S APPAREL AND TEXTILE SOURCING GUIDE-INFOGRAPHIC

SCOPE

As part of the development of a sourcing strategy, it’s important to gain a comprehensive understanding of the countries’ condition and their apparel manufacturing industry before actual placement decisions are made.

OUTCOME

Based on the country research and analysis each student will be able to develop a sourcing profile for your selected country. The outcome of the project is to maximize opportunities and minimize risks for sourcing from your country and your product.

You will use apparel and textile industry-specific resources that will assist you and allow you to gather industry-specific information. This will enable you to create a Country report/Merchandiser’s Apparel and Textile Sourcing Guide for your country

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate the sourcing options and the risks and benefits of each country
  • Enable students to understand the importance of international business and cultural relationships in today’s fashion apparel and textile industry
  • Synthesize research into a well organized apparel and textiles sourcing guide for your country

RESEARCH

You will research and analyze your assigned country and the factors that impact a merchandiser’s decision to source, procure, or purchase apparel and textile products from your assigned country. Some topics, which should be included in your research, are:

  • What are the new technological advances that impact the apparel and textile industry that are available in your country. Focus on technological innovations and advances that will benefit the apparel and textile industry in both production and transportation.
  • What is the demographic makeup of the population within the country?
  • What is the cultural and ethnic makeup of its people?
  • What is the wage scale for our specific industry? How qualified is the workforce?
  • What is the climate like and how does this impact production and shipping?

Study Guide for ENGL 306 Final Exam

This exam will consist of two parts.

The first part will have 25 multiple choice questions in the style of our quizzes.

The second part will involve using the knowledge you have developed on global/international communication to revise a difficult (bad news) letter for a non–US audience—a Japanese business audience. In order to be successful, you will research communication patterns for your intended reader using materials available on Canvas.

For this section of the final exam, you will revise Document E: Bad News Business Letter so that it better works for the Japanese business reader addressed in the letter. The letter is available on Canvas, and you may complete this section of your exam prior to taking the actual exam and submit it during the exam.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

About

After discussing public problems, you decide and share which public problem you want to focus on for the duration of the Project.

The benefit of engaging in a discussion before deciding your public problem is that your peers have knowledge and lived experiences that help you frame the public problem and consider other causes and effects.

Validating your peers’ public problems moves us away from typical “my public problem is the most important” debate to thoughtfully considering what a public problem is, what causes the problem, and what are they effects of the public problem.

Estimated Time

An estimated 2 hours is needed to complete this activity.

Assignment: Post Your Public Problem

After discussing public problems, causes, and effects with your peers last week, it’s time to share your public problem, causes and effects directly with the Professor.

Your submission should include the following:

  • Statement of Public Problem
  • 1st cause of public problem
  • 2nd cause of public problem
  • 1st effect of public problem
  • 2nd effect of public problem
