Camenisch business ethics

This essay involves integrating several of the readings and concepts from this module. The instructions for each paragraph are given below. In some cases, the instructions are preceded by some review that provides the context for what you will write about. What you need to write about is given in the "Respond" part of the instructions.

First paragraph
Paul Camenisch provides a moral principle for evaluating the products and services. This principle is most clearly stated in the bottom half of page 64.

Respond: Restate the principle in your own words. (Note: You needn't avoid using some of the specific terms he uses. For example, don't feel the need to avoid using "human flourishing" and use something less specific or perhaps incorrect like "human happiness.")

Second paragraph
Of course, to use Camenisch's principle, we'd need a conception of human flourishing. Remember Richard Kraut's conception? You talked about that in Essay 1. Dust it off and get ready to use it again.

Review Kraut's definition to refresh your understanding. Be sure to read the definition on page 137 (top). But it's also important to take time to read carefully Kraut's more detailed examples of how this definition is realized in concrete ways. So be sure to take another look at the specific examples on pages 138-141 and 143-144. Keep in mind the connection between virtue and human flourishing.

Respond: Pick some product available on the market today, such as the bicycle, that would clearly be considered (by most people) to be a good one when using Camenisch's principle. This product would be one that would pretty clearly contribute to human flourishing (using Kraut's conception). Discuss this product or service by identifying at least two human powers that are typically affected through the using (or otherwise interacting with the product) in the intended way. Describe how these powers are affected or used. This could be because the product helps the consumers develop these powers. Or because they help the consumer exercise them. Or both.
