In this week's Discussion, you will explore the dynamics of employee loyalty and what limitations exists in regards to rights and freedoms in the workplace. As you discuss the question with your peers, keep in mind the concept of rights and where rights come from. Also note that often in life, the rights of one party conflict with the rights of another.

Case Study

• Read the case study "Employee Rights Case Study" located in the unit Reading. Would firing Allen Lopez violate his civil rights? Explain why or why not using ethical reasoning and theory.

In addition to your posted answer, be sure to comment on at least two of your classmates' post and participate regularly. Responses to others can come in many forms and can include the following:

• Responding to the ideas or details of someone else's responses.
• Taking a concept from the reading and applying it to life, to the reading itself, to your work, or to the questions you're asked to answer.
• Helping a peer understand a concept from the reading.
• Sharing a story from work or your community that illustrates the reading.
• Asking questions on points you need help understanding.
• Explaining why you answered a question in a specific way.
• Pointing out how different answers took the question in different directions/noting a pattern/suggesting an explanation.
• Developing theories to explain patterns you see in the reading.
• Summarizing aspects of the assigned reading and asking for help from your peers in figuring out how you would apply this concept in a real world situation.
