Personal and Organizational Ethics

Must be 400 words and have APA notation. You have four tasks for your initial post. In order to present an
organized post, address each one of these tasks in a separate paragraph
and in the following order. Your first task is to articulate the
economic system (or combination of characteristics of both socialism and
capitalism) that such laws depict. Your second task is to examine the
laws that either support or limit the operations by Uber. Your third
task is to analyze how your findings from your first and second tasks
affect Uber. And your fourth task is to present your moral position with
regard to Uber. For this latter task, you will need to identify one of
the three ethical theories covered in the Week 1 (utilitarianism,
deontology, or virtue ethics) as support for the moral position that you
are taking. For example, you may hold the moral position that Uber is
morally justifiable because it provides a good for consumers that fills
in a gap that had not been met by the taxi industry. Or you may take the
position that Uber’s positioning in the market is morally wrong. TechCrunch. (2015, June 17). Uber driver ruled employee, not contractor, in CA | Crunch report (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. [Video file]. Retrieved from
