Third Issues: Seat Belt Issues
According to 5th Natural Law of Hobbes, and Kant’s point of view,
this is Unethical
 Hobbes argues, for any human
civilization, Social Cooperation
is essential as we may fight in a
state of nature that only shows
conflict
 According to Kant's Beyond any cost-
benefit analysis, people have an inherent
worth. No moral costs-benefit analysis
can be carried out that enables business
executives and their companies to exploit
or threaten workers, clients and local
communities unfairly just as a way of
profiting corporately.

Managerial Perspective
 To reduce deaths in every way possible, the inflatable occupant restraint system
was used in all automobiles in 1969.

 Since the passengers couldn't come into contact with the propellant, NHTSA
believed it to be safe.

 Since the majority of auto manufacturers rejected the airbag policy, the

organization decided to make the use of seat belts mandatory.

 NAII brought a lawsuit to defend the 1966 policy.
