In the “If Looks Could Kill” case study, the hiring process comes down to three candidates: Jamal, Tanya, and Darrell. The recruitment committee must decide which candidate to reject. All committee members agree that this is a difficult decision, except for one. A committee member speaks up and says they think Darrell should be excluded because of his bad appearance. The decision to exclude Darrell based on his appearance is the main ethical question. There are also some secondary questions that include the student's reaction to Darrell after his teaching demonstration, the study on physical attractiveness and achievement, and the question of whether or not physical attractiveness should be a deciding factor on weather or not hiring someone. Below is a table that includes an analysis of the options the hiring committee can make and who is affected by the decision. Stakeholder options Hire Darrell anyway Fire Darrell because of his appearance Hire one of the most attractive candidates Fire all three candidates and hire someone else Darrell would be happy to have gotten the job, but might get discouraged if students don't want to take your course. Would most likely be outraged and resent deontology is when an action is considered morally good because the action itself is not the product of the action ("deontological ethics"). When applying Kant's theory, one must also take these two aspects into account to determine what exactly the right thing is in any situation. They include universality and respect for people. Universality states that you must “act only according to that maxim which you can at the same time will to be a universal law” (Manias). Respect for persons states that you must “act so that you treat humanity, whether it is your own person or that of others; always as an end and never as a means only” (Manias). That being said, these two elements must be applied to any option.
