Case of Global Ethics vs. Global Economy
This is a case that will be tried in the court of Public Opinion.
Topanga Shoe Company, a United States corporation, buys clothing assembled by Corkie, LTD., a foreign company that employs children under 12 years of age. These children work nine hour days and for low pay. Corkie’s nation does not enforce its child labor laws limiting workdays to seven hours for children under 12. Many times the children’s income is needed by the family for basic necessities. Topanga and Corkie are aware of this.
Humanitarian International Politics (HIP), an international political activist organization, discovered Topanga’s connection to Corkie, LTD. HIP plans to reveal this information to the press and on social media. Topanga hears about this proposed action by HIP. Before HIP can act, Topanga terminates its relationship with Corkie. Topanga then publicizes this action in its advertising. The company’s sales and profits increase, apparently as a direct result.
Has Topanga acted unethically in any way(s)? Explain using one of the ethical philosophies from the readings and facts from the scenario.
From an ethical perspective, is Topanga’s conduct in terminating its relationship with Corkie more important than whatever its motive might be? Why or why not?
