In the reading from our text entitled “The Cringing and the Craven: Freedom of Expression in the Workplace,” (page 11) Bruce Barry explains how freedom of expression is often constrained in the workplace and why it is becoming more important as an issue.
Consider the assertion “Freedom of expression in the workplace ought to be more widely permitted than it currently is.”
Provide three arguments that you consider to be compelling in support of that assertion. Each argument should appeal to one of the three ethical theories we have discussed – Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics and Virtue Ethics. So, you are to provide one argument per normative ethical theory. Each argument should be the best one that can be generated from the corresponding normative ethical theory. Of those three arguments which one provides the best evidential support for the assertion? Explain why.
