Which of the following responses considers the ethical task of the
Responsibilities Lens (deontology): following rules that guide individuals to

(consequentialism): seeking worthwhile goals that we want to accomplish?
, "Telling Patrick wouldn't make a difference—the information is already out and we can't

ethics): "I make virtuous choices"?

around."

(deontology): "I am responsible"?
"I don't like the idea of advertising that tries to hide itself. A company has an obligation
to be transparent as to which YouTubers it sponsors. I would want to discuss some
alternatives-if BFE doesn't want us to look for a different partner."
Which of the following statements addresses the foundational questions of the
Reputation Lens (virtue ethics): What actions would set a good example? What
virtues do my role require?
"I don't like the idea, Martin. Too many things could go wrong. If BFE finds out that we

them and use a bit of that moral courage we're always talking about to make sure the
consumers are protected."
Which of the following responses demonstrates the foundational values of the
Reputation Lens (virtue ethics): fortitude and compassion?
