Crisp makes a credible argument that the Pongo Peach and Grecian Formula 16 ads were guilty of overriding the consumers' autonomy because they deceived the consumer by leading them to believe that the products were better than what they were. They used the consumer’s insecurities about themselves to make their products more appealing, causing the consumer to act on desires, rather than rationality. The problem with this type of advertising is that when people take a chance on something based on impulse, rather than facts. They risk their autonomy, which makes them want to purchase the product. I believe that Crisp’s rebuttal of Arrington’s four notions is valid. Autonomous desire is the first desire and fulfills the second desire, which is rational desire and choice. Free choice is the third desire, and finally, the fourth desire is control or manipulation. When it comes to the morality of “subliminal” advertising, my opinion is that it is simply business, and if business are going to profit, they have to use whatever tactic necessary to sell their product.…

The following case involved Gene Elliot who was employed for Mabey Bridge and Shore. Mabey Bridge and Shore was a small business that rented temporary steel pedestrian bridges to other companies. In this particular case, Mabey Bridge and Shore rented a pedestrian bridge to Turner Construction. Turner Construction decided that it was necessary to use a subcontractor to actually perform the work, and this is where a company by the name of B&C Steel came into play. Apart from renting a bridge, Turner Construction also “rented” the services of Gene Elliot, an employee of Mabey Bridge and Shore, to oversee that B&C Steel performed the work satisfactorily under OSHA standards and general safety procedures for this line of work. I will attempt to explain why I believe Turner Construction is responsible for the injuries that Gene Elliot received while on the job.…
