People in different areas commit crimes due to different reasons. However it happens that they may have committed a similar crime. This means that it would not be a very good idea to judge people who have committed similar crime in a similar manner. However, the county court of Illinois may use the details from the Iowa Supreme Court so that it can be able to come up with a good judgment. It may use the details but it should sentence depending on the circumstances under which the accused committed the crime. Even though the crime may look the same, there are high chances that the accused may have committed the crime under different circumstances from the one whose case or information is being used.

The United States Supreme Court happens to be the biggest court in the whole of the United States. This therefore means that whatever decision that it may come up with will be very crucial to all the other courts that are under this court. Therefore, if this court has ever decided a similar case to the one that is to be decided by the county court, it means that such a case is not a new case and that it has a solution. The county court therefore has an obligation to follow the footsteps of the top court while making a ruling on the case. However, this should only be used as a guideline and it does not mean that the decision that is arrived should be exact as the one made by the United States Supreme Court. The sentence should not be the same but the steps that should be followed while arriving at the sentence should be the same.

This is a situation that should be argued from two ends. On the first end, we can consider that forty dollars in Indonesia is a lot of money. This means that even though this money seems to be exploitative in the international standards where the standards of life is very high, it is still good money in Indonesia. Therefore using the outcome based ethics, I would go ahead and open the factory in Indonesia. Proponents of the outcome-based ethics believe that a decision to act or not to act upon something should be focused on producing the greatest benefit to the greater number of people. They also believed that under such circumstances, injuries to individuals is a risk that is acceptable. What this means is that by opening this factory, majority of the people will benefit by getting that money which happens to be above average in their country. On the other hand, we as an organization will face prosecution by the human rights organization in the area.

This case can also be argued using the duty based ethical system. Proponents of this system believe that no matter the locations that one is, there is no way that human rights should be violated or compromised. They believe that it is better for one to forego a certain deal no matter how good it may be if it is going to exploit a certain group of people. Under this ethical system, it would not be a good idea to open the factory in this area. The reason is that forty dollars is considered a wage which is way below average and therefore, even if the wage is very high in the region where the factory is to be opened it is below average under the international standards and therefore exploitative.
