This is a case that will be tried in the court of Public Opinion.

Kilo Shoe Company,a  United States corporation, buys clothing assembled by Crystal, LTD., a  foreign company that employs children under 12 years of age.  These  children work nine hour days and for low pay. Crystal’s nation does not  enforce its child labor laws limiting workdays to seven hours for  children under 12.  Many times the children’s income is needed by the  family for basic necessities.   Crystal and Kilo are aware of this.

Human  International Politics (HIP), an international political activist  organization, discovered Kilo’s connection to Crystal, LTD.  HIP plans  to reveal this information to the press and on social media.  Kilo hears  about this proposed action by HIP.   Before HIP can act, Kilo  terminates its relationship with Crystal. Kilo then publicizes this  action in its advertising. The company’s sales and profits increase,  apparently as a direct result.

Has Kilo acted unethically in any way(s)? Explain using one of the ethical philosophies from the readings and facts from the scenario.
