For example, consider the following case. At a management training pro-
gram I recently attended, two corporate attorneys outlined some of the legal
responsibilities for managers under the americans with disabilities act this law requires business to make reasonabla accommodations for workers with disabilities this law goes on to specify some but not all of the conditions that would count as a disability during the question period one manager explained that she had an employee who suffered conferred for a moment and answered simply it depends the law's definition of a disability involves in part how serious the impairment is how much it limits the worker's life activities and whether or not it is easily corrected by medication given this ambiguity the manager must make a judgment about how to treat
this worker imagine this manager is committed to doing the ethically correct
thing, but believes that one's ethical resonsibility is to obey the law. what
should this manager do? In such a ease, the decision is unavoidable, the law
doesn't help, amd the manager therefore is forced to make a judgment about
what ought to be' done.
