10. Assume the company you work for practices strict adherence to the law in its relationships with employees and job applicants. The company calls it "staffing by the book." But beyond that, it feels that "anything goes" in terms of tolerated staffing practices. What is your assessment of this approach?

11. Assume that you're the staffing manager in a company that informally, but strongly, discourages you and managers from hiring people with disabilities. The company's rationale is that people with disabilities are unlike to be high performers or long term employees, and are costly to train, insure, and integrate into the work unit. What is your ethical assessment of the company's stance; do you have an ethical obligation to try to change the stance, and if so, how might you go about that?
