Maria
Sarah is a primary stakeholder because she holds the decision whether or not to call the ghetto community in Southern California. Thus, she holds high power, legitimacy, and urgency. Although she is just an assistant to the buyer, Maria gave Sarah the duty to call the convenience store, so it is ultimately up to Sarah to call or not. She holds a lot of power in this case because her decision can result in: potential issues with the law, diseases among the people in the ghetto, a scarred conscience, or even an end to her career. She also holds legitimacy because she works directly in the department and is holding the decision to operate. If she decides to give the infected wafers to the convenience store and inspectors find out, the blame will not only be on Sarah, but it will be on the entire chain.
The people that would benefit from this are the store because they are trying to get back the money lost. The people that would be harmed are the customers of both stores and the store with the infestation. The people whose rights are being more certain are the store that has the infestation because the manager wants to get back the $9,000 by selling them to the Ghetto store. The people who are being wronged are the store who the product is being sold too. They are under the impression that they are getting a quality product but they are not. The moral problem is should Sarah sell the bug infested wafer product to the other store in the Ghetto. The economic outcomes are to gain back $9,000. There are not really any legal requirements against this.
There are several ethical duties that this case violates. This violates the self –interest, personal virtues, religious injunctions, universal duties, and the distributive justice ethical
