This is a case analysis paper on Why Ted is unethical

Answer Preview

To determine why Ted is unethical, a categorical imperative approach is used to examine his actions. The principle of categorical imperative demands execution of actions “for its own sake.” The major action performed by Ted was the improper disposal of waste. Ted dumped barrels on sites that were not authorized, on the pretext of “saving money” and time for his company. As a result, when Ernie reflected on the last operation, Ted had not completed the manifest for the disposal in addition to not having indicated the disposal site. Recently, Ted had also dumped some “drums” on the county property. Ted’s company of “hurling wastes” did not adhere to the policy established by Ernie’s company nor did he observe the environmental regulations of the county.
