    336 Words  | 2 Pages

    With the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favour of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., in the Burwell v.

With a license to ignore anti-discrimination laws, said business entities, through their respective owners, now possess the capacity to impose their religious beliefs on employees and customers alike. But how does all this translate into the real world? In short, it translates into unprecedented discriminatory freedom protected under the law; should my religion for example stipulate that the races, or the sexes are unequal, I could legally enforce a white male only policy. Gay and lesbian couples, often not aligning with

    According to the utilitarian benefits theory, Starbucks’ actions are unethical as the actions of Starbucks result in greater harm than good for the society. Small coffee retailers are providing more to the people of the towns that they are located than Starbucks does as those small local coffee retailers offer reasonable priced for their coffee.
