5.01: Ethics Discussion

15

Respond to the following:

A landscaping company has charged $250 per yard for years, and long-term customers have always been pleased with the price. However,

the company owner decides to raise prices, seemingly for no reason other than the desire to increase profts. Customers are unhappy and

believe that the company should not raise prices just for its own benefit.

Answer

The company owner has the right to raise prices, but should communicate the reasons for the increase to customers. It is important to consider the impact on long-term customers and provide them with options or incentives to continue doing business with the company. Ultimately, the decision should be made with ethical considerations in mind, balancing the company's financial goals with the needs and expectations of its customers.

Question

Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb

Which hides your life and shows not half your parts.

If I could write the beauty of your eyes

And in fresh numbers number all your graces,

The age to come would say 'This poet lies;

Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.

So should my papers yellow'd with their age

Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue,

And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage

And stretched metre of an antique song:

But were some child of yours alive that time,

You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme.

ANALYZE CRAFT AND STRUCTURE > AUTHOR'S PURPOSE AND POINT OF VIEW

A. DIRECTIONS: Read the passago below. Then, answer the questions that follow.

"Step right up! You can do it You're a tough one, no doubt" the man called

as I walked toward that sledgehammer game. I needed to hit that thing hard

enough to send it to the top and ring the bell. My brother scoffed, mocking my

skinny arms. I said, "Let's go, then Jake looked surprised but took the

challenge. He slammed that hammer with every ounce of his strength to no

avail. He missed the bell by a good foot.

But I watched and learned. Though I am about 20 pounds lighter, 2 years

younger, and a girl (which is supposed to mean weak, I hear), I am smarter

than a whip. I could see that the game required not only strength but also

strategy. I took the hammer, almed for the very edge of the catapult, and

slammed it with all my might. "Ding|" The metal made contact. I hit the bell on

my first try! "Once again, the woman wins!" shouted the announcer, I felt very

clever, strong, and happy to be holding a huge stuffed animal I won on my

own.

How do you know?

2. In an article about the governor's speech, a writer explains the reason for the

speech, outlines the main points made by the governor, and describes the

audience's response. What is the writer's purpose? How do you know?

Answer

1. The author's purpose for writing this passage is to entertain. 2. Two details that support the author's purpose are the author's description of being "smarter than a whip" and the fact that she, a girl, was able to win the game despite being lighter and younger than her brother. 3. The author's point of view on the topic is that strength alone is not enough to succeed in the sledgehammer game, and that strategy is also important. This is implied through the author's description of how she was able to win the game. 1. The writer's point of view is likely critical of the governor's plans, as they cite evidence that three of the main plans haven't succeeded. This is indicated by the use of the word "haven't" and the focus on the plans that didn't work. 2. The writer's purpose is to inform the reader about the governor's speech, including the reason for the speech, the main points made by the governor, and the audience's response. This is indicated by the use of descriptive language and a straightforward presentation of facts.
