- He is also taking the moral high ground by taking responsibilty and showing great virtue. Obama forced BP to set up a small fund of 20 billion dollars. UtilitarianismUsing achieving the greatest good for the greatest number of peopleRead more: Ethical Theorieshttp://www.medindia.net/education/familymedicine/biomedical-ethics-theories.htm#ixzz1SzBQ8MrP
- referring to a $20 billion fund for damages that President Obama pressured BP to set up Barton, the biggest recipient of oil and gas industry campaign contributions in the House of Representatives, was later forced by Republican leaders to apologize. Who is taking the right course of action? Should politians be allowed to take campaign contributions from companies?
- Larry Curly and Moe the three stooges. Lack any virtue by disavowing any responsibility, likely on the advice of lawyers.
- Two quotes and a poster from Greenpeace. Each blaming the other. How did Green peace protesters travel from around the world to protest in Mississippi. Is either party morally right?
- The U.S. Minerals Management Service 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil production (96.3 percent) and 7.4 billion cubic feet per day of gas (Bcfd) production (82.3).. The Gulf is the source of 25 percent of domestic oil and 15 percent of the natural gas. More than a third of U.S. refining capacity is on the U.S. Gulf Coast. http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/08/31/us-storm-gustav-impact-idUSN3047239520080831Note all the oil wells that are just off shore.Are Sarah Pallin and Rushlimba correct? Is it moral for a “news person” and politian to state either an outright lie or semi truth.
- You may remember that Tony Hayward spent time Yachting and at in a race prior to leaving for Louisiana.
- Again a complete lack of Virtue.
- On April 29, The New York Times reported that Hayward, apparently exasperated, turned to fellow executives in his London office and asked, “What the hell did we do to deserve this?" (A possible answer might be the company's 760 safety violations over the last three years. ExxonMobil, in contrast, has had just one.)
- Louisiana Gov. Jindal took a number of reporters on a tour of the coast to counter the report made by Brit Hume.Do news agencies have a responsibility report news only or is it morally right to provide commentary as well?Does this raise the question that advertisers are influencing how news is reported?
- President Obama issued a moratorium against off shore drilling. All out of work does not matter that the company they worked for is profitable and has many customers. Are they casualties of the utilitarianism theory?
- The oils spill was the largest in US history. Where many people showed their true selves from Tony Hayward, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, the heads of BP America, Transocean, Haliburtan, and Joe Barton.
