\nProject 2: Grace (20%)
\nIn the first assignment, you have the opportunity to see ethics in play in a real-world scenario.\u00a0 You will read the case scenario and answers the questions in a narrative format (not a question answer format).\u00a0 Use headings for each question.
\nRead the Case Scenario
\nThe W. R. Grace Company was founded by, yes, a man named W. R. Grace. He was Irish and it was a shipping enterprise he brought to New York in 1865. Energetic and ambitious, while his company grew on one side, he was getting civically involved on the other. Fifteen years after arriving, he was elected Mayor of New York City. Five years after that, he personally accepted a gift from a delegation representing the people of France. It was the Statue of Liberty.<\/em>
\nGrace was a legendary philanthropist. He provided massive food donations to his native Ireland to relieve famine. At home, his attention focused on his nonprofit Grace Institute, a tuition-free school for poor immigrant women. The classes offered there taught basic skills\u2014stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping\u2014that helped students enter the workforce. More than one hundred thousand young women have passed through the school, which survives to this day.<\/em>
\nIn 1945, grandson J. Peter Grace took control of the now worldwide shipping company. A decade later, it became a publicly traded corporation on the New York Stock Exchange. The business began shifting from shipping to chemical production. <\/em>
\nBy the 1980s, W. R. Grace had become a chemical and materials company, and it had come to light that one of its plants had been pouring toxins into the soil and water underneath the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts. The poisons worked their way into the town\u2019s water supply and then into the townspeople.\u00a0 It caused leukemia in newborns. Lawsuits in civil court, and later investigations by the Environmental Protection Agency, cost the corporation millions.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n\n
