Consider the following scenario and

answer the question that follows.

 

Janet, the Associate Buyer at Wozti Supply Co, argues that buying from

suppliers in a country where child labour is lawfully condoned should be

acceptable, as it will drastically reduce costs. Sibusiso, a recent Business

Management Graduate, however, pointed out that while employing children as a

cheap source of labour may be very profitable, it denies these children the

right to be children, and the right to an education.

Now consider the following

statements on ethics:

(a)       

Ethics exceeds the law.

(b)       

The law and ethics are fixed principles that

do not change over time.

(c)        

Ethics continues where the law stops.

(d)       

Organisations ought to consider their legal

responsibility above all else.

(e)       

Organisations ought to consider both their

legal responsibility as well as their ethical responsibility.

(f)         

The scope of ethics includes the law; however

it also includes ethical standards not codified by the law.

 

Which

of the above statements should Sibusiso use to defend his stance on the child

labour issue, in relation to ethics and the law?
