Suppose a manufacturing facility emits into the air a chemical that it has reason to believe is inadequately regulated by the EPA and that poses a significant threat to nearby residents even at levels lower than permitted by the EPA.

As manager of the facility, would you be satisfied to meet the EPA required level or would you install the additional controls you believe necessary to achieve a reasonably safe level? Keep in mind that installing these controls would be expensive and you can anticipate resistance from corporate executives as well as shareholders. Explain why or why not. Support your answer with one or more of the ethical theories, rights theory, which is a deontological theory, utilitarianism, and shareholder theory. And finally, the virtue theory, which places the issue of one's character and core virtues at the fore, instead of focusing first on rules and responsibilities or the consequences that inevitably flow from all our actions.
