Please have done by tomorrow as it is due tomorrow. This week you are asked to post to these three issues. (1) an example of a consumer product currently being sold that you feel is not a morally responsible product (2) an example of when whistle blowing is morally mandatory and when it is morally wrong (3) an example of when marketing has crossed the line and become unethical. You may want to base your choices on examples from observations or experiences in your personal or professional life. To stimulate the discussion, watch the "Early TV Commercials" videos in the Content section under Week 6. The videos are featured on youtube, the first video is "Flinstones Cigarette Commercial", the 2nd "I love Lucy" Phillip Morris classic ad.

The videos this week will give you a look at the advertising in the 1950s and 1960s. These ads are from the UCSF Tobacco Industry Videos.
