Business Ethics Midterm Review
Requirements:
1. This is the *review* for the mid-term. The test will be released through Blackboard about 5PM March 15. The test is due in class on March 17.
2. Answers to *each* individual question should be between 2 and 3 pages in length…double spaced! This will mean test totals should be 6 to 9 pages. Word process or type your answers! Though writing styles vary, much less than 2 pages will probably prove insufficient and anything much longer than 4 pages will likely be ignored.
3. All margins are to be 1 inch all around. All fonts used should be in 12 point type. Do not separate paragraphs with extra rows or returns. Begin each new question at the top of a new page. Do not repeat the question at the beginning of your answer. See the sample page attached for visual confirmation of the text format required.
4. The test itself will be open book and open notes. That is worth repeating: you may use any material from the class - your notes, my notes, or even the books on the test. You may prepare as little or as much as you wish. If you have complete answers to the whole review, then it should take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete the exam, including time to print and walk to class!
Note well, however, this is a test of your understanding of the material from this class so you would be well advised to concentrate on the material assigned. It is not a test of your ability to transcribe quotes. For example, do not simply list arguments advocated by one author or another. If you do list an argument in premise form, also write an answer that demonstrates you understand the premises and how they are justified.
5. The answers should be your work. DO NOT turn in any work that you did not produce by your own hand.
6. You are required to answer the underlined question or questions. The material preceding the underlined question is meant to direct you to the relevant issues.
7. You may answer any question, but DO NOT cut and paste any old material into your new answers. Take the time to read, understand, and rethink your old answer to make it better.
For the mid-term, you will be asked 5 questions chosen at random from among the following 10 questions. You will be required to answer any 3 of those 5 that you wish.
1. It is often claimed that Act Utilitarianism cannot account for moral concepts such as promises or justice. Rule Utilitarianism is an attempt by Utilitarians to account for these deficiencies. Does Rule Utilitarianism succeed as an attempt to improve upon Act Utilitarianism?
2. Nozick seems to think much of what Rawls's theory would require is actually unjust re-distribution. What is Nozick's argument to this conclusion? Is he right?
3. Freeman defends the Doctrine of Fair Contracts as his version of a "normative core" for stake-holder theory. How does Freeman’s argument work, that is, what theoretical device or structure does he employ to defend stake-holder theory..

Substantive Criminal Law
Case Brief Format/Sample Case Brief
Richard BRETON, Margaret Mary Breton, Plaintiffs,
v.
CENTRAL PACIFIC SUPPLY CORPORATION, Defendant.
Hawaii Supreme Court (1986)
Parties: [Parties to the case]
Breton’s (Plaintiff) v. Central Pacific Supply Corporation (CPS) (Defendant)
Facts: [Briefly state the relevant facts of the case that the court relied upon to reach their decision –
normally 1-2 paragraphs]
The Bretons are sought to cancel the Agreement of Sale of a leasehold interest and for damages. The
Bretons alleged that CPS had breached the Agreement by defaulting on the payment due thereon and
by vacating the premises.
Prior Proceedings: [Briefly describe the circumstances that have occurred in the case to this point]
This case was originally brought before the Land Court of the City and County of Honolulu, State of
Hawaii. The land court, after the trial, found in favor of the Bretons against CPS. Thereafter, CPS filed a
motion to set aside the findings of fact, conclusions of law and judgment, and to set the matter for a jury
trial. The land court denied the motion.
Issues Presented or Questions of Law: [What was the legal issue presented to the court?]
Does the land court have jurisdiction over the subject matter?
Arguments or Objectives of the Parties: [What were the arguments or objections presented to the
court?]
In answer to the Breton’s petition to cancel Agreement of Sale, one of CPS’s defenses was that the land
court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter. Therefore any judgment rendered is invalid.
Holding/Rule of Law: [What was the legal rule(s) or principle(s) the court applied to the case?]
“The land court is a court of limited jurisdiction, created for a special purpose, that of carrying into effect
what is known as the Torrens title scheme, derives all of its power from the statutes relating to it, and
can exercise no power not found within those statutes.” The Bretons’ petition and CPS’s counterclaim
both are breach of contract actions over which the land court does not have jurisdiction.
Saint Leo Core Values Displayed: [Discuss the Saint Leo Core Value(s) that were displayed or violated
by the key players in this case] The law enforcement officers violated the Saint Leo Core Values of
Integrity and Respect when they violated the rights of the suspect by using excessive physical force at
the time of the arrest.
Rationale: [Explain the court’s reasoning in deciding the case]
“The lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter cannot be waived by the parties.” If the parties do not
raise the issue, a court will, ...”
Conclusion: [What was the final outcome/ruling in the case?]
The judgment of the land court is void for lack of jurisdiction. The appeal is dismissed.

Most case briefs will be about 1-2 pages in length. For the purposes of your creating case briefs, this

Some hypotheses from ASRA hypothesis connects an operationali.docx
Some hypotheses from ASR:
A hypothesis connects an operationalized concept(s) (variable(s)) with another variable or a few others. So, there are three things to pay attention to:
1) the variable(s) that the author wants to explain
2) the variable(s) that the author explains (1) with
3) connection between (1) and (2)
“a higher presence of women in professional associations will contribute to greater gender earnings equality”
“Some NHRIs will be more effective than others based on (1) the length of time each form has been in existence and characteristics such as (2) substantive mandate (whether the human rights focus is explicit) and (3) structural capacities (the power to investigate government wrongdoing).”
“NHRIs will have a stronger effect on physical integrity violations than on civil and political rights abuses.”
A few examples of SOCI380 student hypotheses:
H1a: applied science students will display lower levels of willingness to act against ACC compared to non-applied science students
H1b: science students will display higher levels of willingness to act against ACC compared to non-science students
H2: there is a positive relationship between a student's attitude towards climate change and their willingness to act against ACC
H3: there is a positive relationship between a student's knowledge about climate change and their willingness to act against ACC
H1: (a) there is a positive relationship between the number of hours someone spends on Facebook per day and the personality traits of extroversion, agreeableness and openness to experience.
(b) There is a negative relationship between the number of hours spent on Facebook per day and the personality traits of conscientiousness and neuroticism.
H2: There is a negative relationship between time spent on Facebook and self-esteem

Your literature review should be 4-5 pages (6-7 if working in pairs) in length (excluding title page and reference section), typed (12 point font), and double spaced. Paper topics must relate to studies in sociology and must be geared toward survey research. NOTE: papers submitted for another class cannot be submitted for this assignment – this is academic dishonesty. Use peer reviewed articles or chapters, do not use reviews of the literature. Be sure to narrow you topic so that your paper has depth. Students are asked to come to my office to discuss paper topics and prepare an outline for the paper to review with me before beginning. Projects MUST fall under minimal risk criteria (see ethics guidelines that will be distributed in class). You may work in pairs or individually. If you work with a partner you must submit a peer evaluation of your partner for each section of the project.
Introduction (10 points)

Litmus Test for a Doctoral-Level Research ProblemBackground on.docx
Litmus Test for a Doctoral-Level Research Problem
Background on these “litmus test” questions
· The distinguishing characteristic of doctoral-level research (as opposed to masters level) is that it must make an original contribution to the field. However, students may struggle to identify what will authentically contribute to their field or discipline.
· The most critical step in making such a contribution is to first identify a research problem with the 4 doctoral hallmarks below. Identifying a doctoral-level research problem is “necessary, but not sufficient,” to produce doctoral-level capstone.
REQUIRED DOCTORAL HALLMARKS OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
In Walden’s scholar-practitioner model, a research problem shows promise of contributing meaningfully to the field ONLY if the answer to ALL of the following questions is “yes.”
Yes
No
1. JUSTIFIED?
Is there evidence that this problem is significant to the professional field?
There must be relevant statistics (expressing an unjust inequality, financial impact, lost efficiency, etc.), documentable discrepancies (e.g., two models that are difficult to reconcile), and/or other scholarly facts that point to the significance and urgency of the problem. The problem must be an authentic “puzzle” that needs solving, not merely a topic that the researcher finds interesting.
2. GROUNDED IN THE LITERATURE?
Can the problem be framed in a way that will enable the researcher to either build upon or counter the previously published findings on the topic?
For most fields, this involves articulating the problem within the context of a theoretical or conceptual framework. Although there are multiple ways to ground a study in the scientific literature, the essential requirement is that the problem is framed in such a way that the new findings will have implications for the previous findings.
3. ORIGINAL?
For research doctorates (Ph.D.):
Does the problem reflect a meaningful gap in the research literature?
For the professional doctorates (Ed.D. and D.B.A.):
Does the problem describe a meaningful gap in practice?
4. AMENABLE TO SCIENTIFIC STUDY?
Can a scholarly, systematic method of inquiry be applied to address the problem?
The framing of the problem should not reveal bias or present a foregone conclusion. Even if the researcher has a strong opinion on the expected findings, scholarly objectivity must be maximized by framing the problem in the context of a systematic inquiry that permits multiple possible conclusions.
