[ORDER SOLUTION] Philosophy Homework

2. Explain why doing something that you do not want to do is not necessarily a restriction of your autonomy.              3. Explain why identifying how some action harms someone is not sufficient to apply the principle of Justice.   4. Why does Weston think we should seek to integrate values?   Answer the questions below about this scenario:   Martha Johnson works for Antenna Engineering, which has designed the antennas and a thousand-foot tall tower for a local TV station.  The tower has been put in place, except for the last section containing the antenna baskets.  Because the baskets are attached to the top section, it cannot be lifted in the same way as the other sections.  To hold this last section away from the tower as it is hoisted so that the antenna baskets will not be damaged, the construction workers, who work for a different firm than Johnson and are not engineers, plan to bolt some lifting arms to the section.  These arms, which would extend beyond the edge of the tower section, would allow the section to be held far enough away from the tower to prevent damage to the antenna baskets.  Not being confident that this method of lifting the final section is sound from an engineering standpoint, the construction workers call Johnson, asking, “Can you look at our proposal for lifting the last section to be sure it is safe?”             Johnson calls her boss, Bill Mason, the president of Antenna Engineering, to relay the request.  His response is emphatic:   No way!  If we are involved in construction in any way and there is an accident, we are liable.  Our contract was only to design the tower and the baskets.  We have no responsibility for construction.  We tried to be nice guys once before and ended up being sued for $250,000.  We are a small company and cannot afford to lose our insurance.   Johnson knows enough about the construction contractor’s proposed way of lifting the last section to suspect that it is indeed unsafe and that there is the real possibility that the last section could fall, killing the workers who will be riding the section to the top of the tower.  Unfortunately, she also knows that her boss’s fears for the welfare of the company are legitimate and that she will probably lose her job if she gives the contractors any advice.    5. Which moral principles apply?  For those that do apply, what course of action to they support or oppose?  [4]   6. Identify the values at stake in this situation, and then devise an integrative (‘win-win’) approach to the problem.  [4]
