Write a 5-page essay about the Apple v. FBI scandal and create a PowerPoint presentation. I will be presenting this scandal in class so please write the essay as speakable as possible because I will just read the entire paper in class.
For this essay, we will focus on Tim Cook and James B Comey, apply the ethics theories to Comey’s actions and give examples. For personal thoughts just give your personal opinion of Comey’s unethical actions in this case.
In the paper, only write about explaining this:
A brief background of the scandal
What is the problem?
Who were the actors involved?
The scandal in details…
Apply the three theories:
Virtue ethics (looks at the character of the decision-maker) does the decision displays good character? What would the two streams be? Apply this to Comey’s character/behabior
Kantism and the categorical imperative: Apply this to Comey’s actions.
Utilitarianism- in the greatest interest for the greatest number. Apply this to Comey. Was his actions best for the greatest number(people)? Back up as to why is it in the best interest or not?
