Case Study
What are the ethical and legal issues at stake in this scenario?
A: Karl has to deal with some ethical and possibly legal issues in the marketing of his game “Breakaway”. It is an issue ethically simply because he himself has to find out it is suitable to market a game that primarily gives its focus on nudity, violence, and gambling. When it comes to legal issues, is it legal to market these things in foreign countries and on the Internet? This is what he needs come to reality with and needs to think about. If they have the ability to market this game in other countries, then they would have to change different parts of the game for the countries that Will has looked into targeting the game.
What are Karl’s options?
A: Karl’s has a good amount of options. For instance, he can limit the nudity in the game Breakaway for the U.S. version of the game. The adult version, which allows nudity, should have its own version for Internet gamers. Mexico wants to join the market, but the violence within the game needs a limit as well. But other than that, this game has plenty of chances of generating an ample amount of revenue with its features.
Discuss the acceptability and commercial use of sex, violence, and gambling in the United States.
A: Anything in today’s society is acceptable. The world is getting more corrupt as years go by. More things are not being monitored, and looked upon from a serious point. The media is becoming more provocative and lenient towards what is being said and shown on TV. Sex is being used in commercials. Burger at one point had a half nude women advertising as lettuce, mustard and ketchup ran down her body. Now, I don’t know about others, but to me at my perspective, when it comes to a point where a fast food restaurant is advertising themselves or herself with a nude person, there is something wrong. I can only imagine how it’s going to be in the near future. It
