    The document discusses two cases involving moral issues in business: 1) A case where a business owner must decide whether to disclose to customers that their products may have been unintentionally poisoned, risking their business but upholding their moral duty. 2) A case where an employee is considering sharing a former employer's trade secrets with a new employer, which would be unethical and illegal but could help their new business succeed. Both cases involve balancing ethical responsibilities with business interests, and considering different ethical frameworks like deontology, relativism and utilitarianism in making complex moral decisions.

    Case Analysis

    Case: 1
    The moral issue in this case in the story is about the owner’s egocentricity or being concerned
    with himself rather than the common good of the people living in a community. As a
    responsible business owner you are accountable for whatever will happen towards your
    customer. Thus, you should do what is universally right. As a human we are different towards
    any other species because of our ability to think and weigh what is right and wrong or The
    “Moral Sense” in us In this case this is viewed as Moral Subjectivism which means that the
    owner may have different moral views among others that will sooner or later result on
    subjective morality “what is good for one person may be bad for another”.

    If I were Bartolome, I’d rather lost my job and tell them what happened than to let them think
    that I intentionally poisoned them (if ever they die because of it).It would be very unrealistic
    but I shall make a stand. And in this scenario come’s Normative Ethics that involves moral
    judgment based on ethical norm or theory. I, along my conscience know what I should do. But
    I do understand my Boss for this is an Ethical Relativism that shows, wherein we have
    different backgrounds, different convictions different perspective with different moral value of
    an action but both of us can be right. He can be right for the fact that he is protecting the
    business by not creating a chaos but I may be right by the fact that people should know the
    truth. But then again ethics is an unwritten laws written in the hearts of man. Good business
    doesn’t mean good ethics, but living and having a business that is governing a good business
    ethics is a nice thing to have.

    Case analysis
    Case: 2
    Yes, keeping “trade secrets still an ethical issue in the age of globalization and advance
    communication technology. Trade secret is a intellectual property and is illegal to be trade
    especially in this competitive days wherein all people take business as a war. And used each
    others weaknesses to be on the top. Kantianism or the imperative approach, the idea that
    one should base his action of rules that are believed to be universal. In conclusion to that
    statement we should base our actions on a more ethical way, because this willlead to different
    consequences in the business industry.

    Yes, for the reason that it is not again his intellectual property and it is highly confidential. It
    will just add fuel to the burning fire that wll result to an unhealthy competition.
