2) As hiring coordinator for Hennessey Networking Solutions, Inc., (Hennessey) Andrea Templeton knew that her position was of utmost importance to her company in terms of hiring candidates who were well-qualified, and who would best contribute to the company's overall success. On her desk was the employment application and resume of Timothy Carraway. Andrea had just finished her interview of Timothy, who was the last in a long line of interviewees who had applied for an entry-level information technology (IT) position at Hennessey. Hennessey only had one (1) opening available. During Timothy's interview, the candidate revealed that seven (7) years ago, he had been tried and convicted in federal court for selling a significant amount of cocaine. Timothy had also revealed the conviction on his employment application. Timothy went to great lengths to explain to Andrea that he sincerely regretted the indiscretions of his youth, and that he had spent the last seven (7) years of his life "paying penance," and reforming his life. After serving three (3) years in federal penitentiary, Timothy had earned his bachelor's degree in Information Technology, graduating with honors.

i) Timothy's interview had gone very well. In fact, Andrea felt that in terms of his personality and education, he was the best "fit" for the position. Andrea was obviously concerned about Timothy's criminal background, but she was also concerned about the young man should he not find an employment opportunity after graduating from college.

ii) Without a legitimate employment option, would Timothy revert back to his "criminal ways?

iii) Does Andrea Templeton and Hennessey Networking Solutions, Inc. have an ethical obligation to hire Timothy Carraway?

iv) Should Andrea's "hire" decision be based exclusively on Timothy's qualifications for the job? Why or why not?

3) Aristotle Mythos is having a "mid-life crisis," in large part because he is 50 years old, and he realizes that most people do not live to be 100. In an attempt to conquer his depression, and to prove that he is equivalent to a 20-year-old (at least in spirit,) Mythos plans to climb Mount Zeus, the highest peak in his ancestor's homeland of Greconia. In preparation for his climb, Mythos patronizes the local "outdoors" shop, Athena's Garden, and asks to speak with a trained sales associate. Mythos specifies that he will be climbing Mount Zeus, and that he will need a tent and sleeping bag to survive the wind and elements on two nights during his ascent and descent. The associate selects a tent and sleeping bag from a wide variety of possibilities, and Mythos leaves the store a "happy camper." Mythos begins his climb the following day, and successfully reaches his check point, halfway to Zeus' peak, before nightfall. He prepares his campsite, and looks forward to some much-needed rest. Unfortunately, he has a fitful night, shivering in his sleeping bag below a partially-collapsed tent, with the wind and the cold "getting the best of" Mythos and his camping gear. In the daylight of the following morning, Mythos fully awakens to realize that the toes on both of his feet have turned a sickening shade of blue-purple, and he realizes with great disappointment that he will not be able to fulfill his dream of climbing Mount Zeus. Further, upon closer examination of his tent and sleeping bag, both are trademark-stamped "The Young Mythologist," gear intended for backyard camping by children. As a result of his misfortune, Mythos must have four toes (two toes on each foot) amputated, and he incurs medical expenses of $58,000 for treatment and rehabilitation. Mythos' doctor has rated him with 20% permanent partial disability as a result of his toe amputations.

i) Is Athena's Garden legally responsible for Mythos' medical expenses and partial disability? If so, on what theory?
