Let’s dig into the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees. Some topics you might explore here include:
How would your favorite moral theory balance the duty to protect the public with the duty to be loyal to your employer? What are some examples (provide links!) to whistleblowers in the news?
When you think of a good boss, what characteristics do they have and how does that make them less like dictators? What about a great place to work? What sorts of benefits are most important to you?
What do you think about the so-called “great resignation” that seems to be playing out across the US right now? How might the dynamics of this embolden workers? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Should the minimum wage in the U.S. be raised to $15? Why or why not?
Feel free to discuss other topics covered in chapters 6 and 7 as well. As always, extending the conversation with links to news articles or case studies is preferred
