Question 3:

If I were in Mark Yang's shoes, I would try to contact the security firm's Asian Vice President
and speak with him directly about the issue and ethical dilemma that I am facing, because the last
phone conversation Mark had with him clearly stated that the company has ethical and moral
principles and that they are trying to ensure that the ethical principles offered by the corporate
offshoot are followed. I arrived to this conclusion by applying Kant's categorical imperative (first
version) theory of moral rights, which states that we must behave only for reasons that we would
want anybody in a comparable position to act on. Do you think we'd be okay if someone did it to
us? To gain sensitive information, lie to us? Even in this scenario, Mark claims that if someone
did it to him, he would not feel great, so why should he do it to anybody else? As a result, I
would discuss the situation with the Asian VP and explain why I am unable to complete the task
he has assigned to me.
