Answer the questions beloiw

Question 1  In 2015, a research food store in Dallas, Texas, developed a new type of organic food called Greatstuff that provided low fat, good taste, low calorie content, and was quickly found to provide a number of health type benefits. The demand for the product skyrocketed, and retail sales in the Dallas area alone quickly began to exceed the supply. The Dallas store expanded their local production by acquiring extra components from Colorado, and also contracted with a similar facility in Beaumont, Texas, to produce the Greatstuff organic food. The reputation of the product continued to boom, and even though the production had increased by 1,000 per cent over the initial supply, the retail demand kept the store shelves empty most of the time.

A similar type organic food store out of Chicago approached the original Dallas store, and asked for the formula for Greatstuff, but the Texas owners declined. The supply and retail market continued to boom all over Texas. The owners of the organic food store in Chicago came to Dallas, bought a truck load of Greatstuff and took it back to their facility in Illinois and sold most of it, but also tried unsuccessfully to replicate production. Through some political connections, a number of members of Congress found out about Greatstuff, and applying the Commerce Clause succeeded in passing legislation that was signed by the president to: 1) place a special federal sales tax on Greatstuff, and 2) require the formula for production to be made public. The Dallas developer of Greatstuff sued in federal court in Dallas, contending that Greatstuff had nothing to do with interstate commerce and was not subject to the Commerce Clause.

You (student) should assume the role of an attorney representing the Dallas Organic Food Store in contending that the production and sale of Greatstuff is not subject to the federal legislation generated under the Commerce Clause. As the attorney for Dallas Organic Food Store, what would you argue to support your client's position that the production and sale of Greatstuff is not subject to Federal regulation? Be specific about why Federal law does not apply and why. (25 Points)

Question 2. Larry R. Smeltzer and Marianne Jennings wrote an article, "Why an International Code of Business Ethics Would Be Good for Business," which was assigned to be read at the beginning of the course. As you have worked throughout this session, you should have considered this article and how it may or may not have impacted different situations in the world economic/business/legal/political environments. The essay you will write on the next question should show that you have read this article and can apply the theories and thoughts from that article to the scenario provided. Feel free to rely on the information you know about the situations (if real) or analogize to one that is real, if you wish. Include in your answer at least two specific concepts from the article, and apply those concepts to your reasoning in your answer. You will be graded on your knowledge of the article as well as the application of ethical theories to international situations.

In the middle of 2014, an Ebola virus swept through West Africa infecting 7,000 people and killing 4,000 in the first three months. A few American medical personnel traveled to West Africa to combat the disease, and a few were infected and rushed back to the U.S. for successful recovery. Medical labs in the U.S. made limited attempts to develop medication to combat the disease, but at least for a brief period of time, did not provide the drug to the West African countries. The Ebola disease is highly contagious, being transferred from one party to another by an exchange of any bodily fluid, and is usually fatal unless properly treated.

A citizen of Liberia traveled to the U.S. to visit his family in Dallas, Texas, and was diagnosed with Ebola after six days in this country. He had interacted with 10 family members, including five school children from 8 to 18 years of age. These children went to school for three days before the presence of Ebola was recognized, making contact with approximately 100 classmates. The Liberian Ebola patient was hospitalized, and the 10 members of his family were quarantined in a house. The U.S. government is considering banning entry into this country by people from West Africa unless they can pass an Ebola screening.
Using Smeltzer and Jennings's article, would an international code of ethics assist in handling this medical crisis? Would it have helped if the original Ebola carrier had been tested at the inbound airport? Do you see this as an ethical issue or a political issue? Support your answer with concepts from the article, as well as other ethical reasons. (25.0 points)

Question 3. Use the fact pattern you received in the above Smeltzer and Jennings's "International Code of Ethics" question to answer this question. Analyze and propose a solution to the problem you received above using the concepts of the Managerial School of Social Responsibility from Chapter 7 of your text. Show the steps, apply the facts, and provide a proposed solution.
