Assignment:
In the reading, "Brief Summary of Ideas Related to Three Theories of Distributive Justice", there was a brief summary of ideas about distributive justice. In the reading, "Defending the One Percent", there was discussion of the general issue of unequal distribution of income in the US. In Desjardins, there was discussion of the more specific issue of compensation of top executives. This assignment asks you to apply the ideas about justice and about the general issue of income inequality to the question of whether any policy should be adopted to restrain executive compensation in order to reduce inequality, and if so what policy? Be sure to do the following in your paper:
1. Provide at least two policy options to consider.
2. Include an indication of important values/principles you think need to be considered, including at least one conflict between values (Consider using a list.)
3. Include an indication of important factual issues which you think will need to be addressed (Consider using a list. Be sure that for each item, you identify alternative perspectives. That is, what is the issue?)
4. Explain briefly, how one of the three theories not used in your post might be related to the issue of income inequality. Also, indicate at least two possible challenges/critiques which might be made of the theory.
