The advertising industry has undergone a dramatic transformation in the past decade. In the past, advertisers had to guess where they could reach potential customers on television, radio and print. Now, much of the advertising budget is spent online where advertisers are able to reach specific individuals who are most likely to buy their advertiser's product or service. Through Google they know what you have searched for and deliver ads for that. Amazon knows what you buy and suggests products based upon that. Facebook know a great deal about your life through your posts, you friends, your messages as well as any web site you sign in using your Facebook credentials. By matching email addresses, mobile phone numbers, IP addresses, advertisers can identify who you are and where you live. Superimposed upon this system is a network of data brokers who buy and sell data from online companies and assemble disparate pieces of data into a profile of individuals that undoubtedly include you. There is hardly any regulation of this data ecosystem. For an example, read the linked New York Times articles on data apps and the data they provide and respond to the questions below.

All companies want to be perceived as green and not damaging the environment nor contributing to climate change. In pursuit of that image, many companies have overstated or misrepresented their environmental bona fides. This is a practice called greenwashing. Read the linked article below for details.

Fiji Water
Here is an example of a greenwashed ad. Why? Fiji bottled water has a huge carbon footprint shipping water from Fiji to the U.S. It is quite a stretch to call this product green.
Find your own example of greenwashing and post it.
Explain why you think it constitutes greenwashing.
If you were the CEO, would you have authorized the ad you chose?
Why or why not?

Please read The Case of the Million Dollar Decision that can be found at the link below:
https://www.scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/business-ethics/resources/the-case-of-the-million-dollar-decision/
Should the company pay bribes to enter the Chinese market? Why or why not?
If the company should pay bribes, is this an example of cultural relativism? In other words, is the company simply doing something that Chinese society finds acceptable?
Assume that you are a manager at Pegasus and the CEO asks you to manage the company's entry into the Chinese market. He also makes clear that you are expected to make the Chinese decision makers happy by providing them with sums of money. Using your ethical tools from the class, decide what would you do?
