ASSIGNMENT
If Mexico has no ban on DDT (a pesticide used in agriculture) and the USA has banned the use (but not the manufacture) of DDT, should a corporation buy land in Mexico, import DDT from the USA, grow larger crops, and export them to the USA?
What ethical duties does the corporation have to the workers in Mexico, the neighboring landowners, and the USA consumers about the potential dangers of using DDT?
Is there an ethical duty of DDT manufactures related to their export of DDT to countries that do not ban its use as the USA does?
Do you agree that environmental protection laws are “less obvious” as suggested above? Why/why not?
What ethical duties does the corporation have to the workers in Mexico, the neighboring landowners, and the USA consumers about the potential dangers of using DDT?
