In a 3–4 page scholarly paper appropriate for a professional audience, complete the following: Analyze the relationships between different components of the ethical issue(s) in the scenario. Analyze the relationships between the primary interest(s) of at least three stakeholders in the scenario. Evaluate the company’s social responsibility in this scenario by applying either Milton Friedman’s shareholder theory or R. Edward Freeman’s stakeholder theory. Explain the relevant gaps or deficiencies of the theory you chose not to apply. Apply a traditional theory of normative ethics to justify the company’s social responsibility in this scenario. Explain the relevant gaps or deficiencies of another normative theory you chose not to apply.———— SCENARIO: A social media company called Rmblppy (RP) was recently approached by the United States government to provide customer data to aid in national security investigations. RP’s legal team has confirmed they are under no legal obligation to provide this information. RP must decide whether providing customer information to the US government is ethical. It might jeopardize customer privacy, but it might help protect Americans and other people around the world from terrorists or other dangerous actors. The company is also concerned about the impact on their bottom line. Will their customers appreciate how this cooperation provides more security, or will they be angry their private data was shared with the government? How will critics and watchdog groups view this choice, and how will that public conversation impact the company’s public image and market share?
