Overall Comments:

Good continuation from your first Assessment Khanh. This paper is moving towards a nicely structured, organized and written paper, with details and supporting examples.

Nice job in further clarifying the issues regarding hiring in a multicultural environment. Critical for this paper is to fulfill the key ambition of this Assignment--to Analyze, to Apply and to Assess! Examples and specifics help a lot. So would the use of key insights from your research. More readings and secondary research add depth. Most important was the connection back to the ethical dilemma/issue. It would be helpful to precede the review of the dilemma with a definition of the criteria for determining a dilemma.

Nice job identifying (room for more analysis, compare and contrasting) some of the five most common theoretical approaches (Justice/Fairness, Universalism, Utilitarianism, Rights and Virtue Ethics). I wish you had discussed more on Rawl's Theory of Justice. This was critical, especially to set the context early in the paper. And of course, you concluded, like others, I think, that none are perfect and that it is important to consider the "practical consequences" resulting from key actions. And yes, while there are a lot of similarities there are some key differences. As you implied, each situation is different too, lending itself often, to a different approach. Most important was your review of the different approaches, application of a Step Model and your rationale for reviewing and applying the different Approaches. Now I wonder which one, leads the ethical decision making--Fairness supported by Utilitarian Approach thinking or something different?!?

As with most papers it is helpful to see clear organization, with a beginning, middle and end. You could work on this in the second half of your paper. For example, generically speaking, an Introduction clarifying what will follow, Background for context, the Discussion and a Summary and/or Conclusion. These beginning and ending sections help a lot and should be sub-titled!

In summary your paper is succinct (too much so at times) and to the point--yet includes some helpful background and context. It is important to exhibit a clear progression from discussion to analysis to new insights. Moving from data acquisition to information to knowledge building to insightful wisdom continues to be important for the learning process this Term.
