Justice Approach

Question 1

Discuss a current ethical issue in the business world that arises out of intellectual property. Research and discuss at least one case to illustrate the ethical issue. Some questions to consider include:

• Why is it important to protect intellectual property?
• How can intellectual property be protected?
• Do intellectual protections ever go “too far”?
• What is the proper balance between content producers and the public good?

Your well-written paper should be 3-4 pages in length, not including the title or references pages. Include a minimum of two scholarly sources beyond the textbook.

Question 2

Using the restorative justice approach, what would you require as a sentence for a 17-year-old offender who forcefully broke a window to get into a house and stole property valued at $1,000 when the occupants were at work?
