Please read and answer the following questions. Please no plagiarizing.

Questions 1. Is this a moral or legal/economic issue? Could it be both? What are some of the most important value and prescriptive claims involved here? Should any of the relevant nonmoral claims override the moral claims? Why or why not?

2. How does the fact that issue involves international trading policies affect this case?

3. It would not be acceptable in the United States for workers to be exposed to the kinds of risks these foreign coffee workers are being exposed to. Nor could any U.S. worker be paid such low wages. Can these sorts of things nevertheless be acceptable for workers in other countries? Relate your answer to the claim that moral principles should be universal.

4. If moral principles are indeed universal, could we justifiably criticize another culture for its farming practices and the way it allows its workers to be treated?

5. To what degree do you think the rest of the world could justifiably take action against foreign farming practices when these could potentially harm farmers and the surrounding people? Formulate some moral and nonmoral claims to support your views.
