Question

Francis worked for GM for 39.9 years, but died 1 month short of retirement. Since he did not retire, his family normally receives nothing from the retirement funds. His widow petitions Mark, his manager, to make an exception and allow the retirement benefits. Mark wants to say no because if this were a regular policy, it would hurt stockholders and draw down retirement funds for the true retirees. But he is sympathetic to the family. What principles is Mark struggling between

Answer 1

Utilitarian principles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the case described in question where Mark wants to say no because if this were a regular policy, it would hurt stockholders and draw down retirement funds for the true retirees. But he is sympathetic to the family. Hence, Mark is struggling between UTILITARIAN PRINCIPLES which is specifically between "The greater good for all employees and the harm to this one family".

The Utilitarian principles are based on the tenets that considered action to be morally right if it causes satisfaction to people and opposes suffering to the people.

However, where the decision or action is between two groups, the utilitarian principle favors the activities that support the prosperity of a larger number of people in a society or a group. In this case the right answer is UTILITRIAN PRINCIPLES - The greater good for all employees and the harm to this one family.
