This paper should address the theme of ‘Ethics and the Individual,’ which brings together the three readings from the third part of our course (Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus).
Very broadly, we have been examining questions about ethics and the individual, such as: ‘where do our ethics come from?’, and ‘do we need an ethics of society to act ethically as individuals?’ Also, “what is individual freedom,?”, and “how does our understanding of freedom affect the way that we act, make ethical decisions, and find meaning and value in our lives?”
As before, for the assignment , I would like you to write a short essay of 1000 to 1200 words (in Times New Roman -12 point font, 1.5 spacing, with a Title at the beginning, and a Works Cited page at the end).
Again, you are asked to take a position on one (or two) of the philosophers that we have examined in this second part of the course.
What this means is that you can write your paper on one of the following philosophers from Part III of the course:
1. Friedrich Nietzsche (The Madman and The Heaviest Weight)
2. Jean-Paul Sartre (Existentialism is a Humanism)
3. Albert Camus (The Myth of Sisyphus)
Or, you can compare two of these philosophers’ ethical theories:
1. Sartre and Nietzsche (on ‘human freedom’, ‘individualism’)
2. Sartre and Camus (‘existentialism,’ ‘the absurd.’)
3. Camus and Nietzsche (‘repetition’ ‘the eternal return,’ etc.).
As before, the main point of the assignment is that you take a position in your essay on the reading(s).
In close detail, and from the texts that we have examined, clearly and accurately describe the ethical theories of the philosopher (or philosophers) that you have decided to write about.
And also, tell me why you agree or disagree with the ethical theory (or theories) as it relates to the theme of ‘Ethics and the Individual.’ (You may agree with some aspects of a philosopher’s ethics, but disagree with others. Or you may entirely agree or disagree with their main ethical theory).
Also in your paper, as before, argue for the applicability (or in applicability) of the ethical theory (or theories) in the world today, and in our contemporary society. For example, what can these theories help to teach us about ethics and the individual, when confronted with the problems that we face today?
Above all, as you were required to do in your previous papers, take a clear argumentative position, and argue for it convincingly throughout your essay.
Suggested Question and Topic:
As before, you are free to develop your own original topic for the essay, as it relates to the philosophers and the readings we have examined in this third part of the course.
You are also free to bring back certain theories or ideas from earlier parts of the course, if they will help to strengthen your main thesis.
Here is a suggested essay topic that may help to guide you with the assignment.
1. (Ethics and Individual Freedom)
The theme of human freedom is central to the ethical philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus.
With two of his parables in The Gay Science (1882), ‘The Madman’ and ‘The Heaviest Weight,’ Nietzsche famously addresses the ethical implications of a world without God. He asks us to question where our values in fact come from. And he also forces us to confront the: either completely terrifying, and/or totally liberating sense of freedom that results from this realization.
In his essay outlining his own philosophy of existentialism, ‘Existentialism is a Humanism’ (1946), Sartre famously makes the following two arguments: that “existence precedes essence,” and also, that as individuals, we are “condemned to be free.” For Sartre, in his own words, “man is nothing…but the sum of his actions.”
And finally, in his essay The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), Camus argues that as humans, our lives are eerily similar to the ancient Greek myth in which as punishment, Sisyphus is sentenced to roll his rock up and down a mountain, for all of eternity. Life is “absurd” for Camus. And whatever freedom we may have as individuals, we must also confront the consequences of this absurdity.
To return to the above questions then, for each philosopher, “what is individual freedom,?”, and also, “how does our understanding of freedom affect the way that we act, make ethical decisions, and find meaning and value in our lives?”
Also, for each philosopher, ‘where do our ethics come from?’, and ‘do we in fact need an ethics of society to act ethically as individuals?’, (What is the relationship between the two: ethics of society vs. ethics of the individual)?
(*Again, you are only required to write on One or Two of the above philosophers. You may mention all three in your essay, but the main focus of your paper should be on only one or two).
(As always, please remember to use examples from the text to support your arguments).
Very broadly, we have been examining questions about ethics and the individual, such as: ‘where do our ethics come from?’, and ‘do we need an ethics of society to act ethically as individuals?’ Also, “what is individual freedom,?”, and “how does our understanding of freedom affect the way that we act, make ethical decisions, and find meaning and value in our lives?”

Week 6: Conformity and Group Processes
Most people spend much of their lives in the company of others and/or in groups. Accordingly, a person’s individual behavior often is significantly impacted by the presence of others and their behavior. This phenomenon is the focus of Week 6. You will explore social psychology concepts related to conformity and obedience to authority. Why, for example, do people conform by adopting the latest fashion trends and why do others reject these trends? Why do some individuals obey the requests and rules of authority while others seem to think that the rules do not apply to them? This course ends with a focus on how people’s behaviors, opinions, and even emotions are often affected by being in a group or by having others nearby.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Distinguish between conformity and obedience
Exemplify and explain conformity and obedience
Analyze the impact of group membership on individual behavior
Identify and apply concepts, principles, and processes related to social influence and behavior of individuals in groups

Discussion: Social Influence
This Discussion focuses on social influence and group processes. As you likely know from your own experience, the presence of others impacts an individual’s behavior, an individual’s behavior often impacts another’s, and individuals’ behaviors often impact that of an entire group.
Conformity is the tendency to change one’s beliefs or behaviors to match those of others. There are many theoretical reasons suggested by social psychologists for why people conform. Obedience is believing that a legitimate authority has the right to make a request and then adhering to this request. Social psychology studies the concept of obedience to help analyze the reasons that people disobey legitimate authority, as well as why people obey perceived authority, even when the requests go against their personal beliefs. In addition, various group processes affect whether people conform or obey in a given situation.
To prepare:
Review Chapters 8 and Chapter 9 of your course text, Social Psychology, focusing on the factors that are associated with social influence on behavior.
Think about examples in the news in which people did or did not demonstrate conformity or obedience.
Note: One way to find examples of news events for these concepts is to go to a major search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.), click on the “news” tab, and type in appropriate search terms.
By Day 3
Post a brief description of a contemporary example from the news in which people did or did not demonstrate conformity or obedience. Use a theory discussed in Chapter 8 to explain how or why the behavior illustrates conformity or obedience. Use information from Chapter 9 to explain how being in a group might influence behaviors in your example. That is, in your example, how might group processes, characteristics, or functions explain behavior?
Notes:
Identify your example in the subject line of your post.
Please do NOT select the Holocaust or Milgram’s studies as your example.
Support the responses within your Discussion post, and in your colleague reply, with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources.
You are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleague’s postings. After clicking on the “Post to Discussion Question” link, select “Create Thread” to create your initial post.

Auditing Project Due December 2nd
Carter & McLean, a Halifax accounting firm, has just taken on the audit of EastJet, a small
airline providing private charter service that began operations in 2005. The airline is owned by
Dave Wilson and Ron Joyce. The previous auditor has resigned because of poor health. You are
an audit senior with Carter & McLean and have been asked to work on the audit.
EastJet uses rented facilities at Halifax International airport. It has purchased three of its
airplanes and is leasing six other planes. It employs six pilots full time and has a database of
pilots that can be called if additional flights are required at any given time.
EastJet has done well since it began operations but Carter and McLean are concerned about the
profit for the first six months of this year. In addition, two of EastJet’s planes have been
grounded because of faulty electrical connections. The warranty has expired on these planes.
You held an audit planning meeting with Dave Wilson, Ron Joyce and Bill Carter, the partner.
You were provided with the interim financial statements for the first six months of the current
year along with the prior year audited statements (Appendix 1). Your notes for the meeting are in
Appendix 2.
A junior accountant from your office has done work on the accounts receivables and property
plant and equipment. The work done is documented in Appendix 3.
Required:
1. Perform the planning analytical review for the financial statements of EastJet, analyzing
the key movements. Include supporting calculations. (10 marks)
2. Using the audit notes that you took, identify the audit risks and explain how each audit
risk could result in a material misstatement in the financial statements. Design the audit
approach for each significant audit risk identified. Present your answer in a table with
column one identifying the risk and column two explaining the risk. (20 marks)
3. Calculate planning materiality for the 2014 fiscal year-end audit. Provide both
quantitative and qualitative analysis supporting your figure for preliminary materiality. (5
marks)
4. Evaluate the audit work done by the audit junior on the accounts receivable and property
plant and equipment and outline additional procedures that should be performed by the
audit team on future work in this area.(20 marks)

5. Prepare the property, plant and equipment (PPE) audit program that will be used by
Carter & McLean accounting for the December 31, 2014, fiscal year-end audit of EastJet.
(20 Marks)
6. Discuss the importance of documentation in the audit file and identify which parts of the
audit file require documentation.(10 marks)
7. Assume the 2014 fiscal year-end audit of EastJet is completed and that Carter and
McLean Accounting has determined that the financial statements of EastJet are presented
fairly, in all material respects, except for the area of capital leases. Capital leases are
material. Your audit work indicated the two capital leases should be accounted for as
capital leases; however, EastJet did not want to do this. The amount is material but not
pervasive to the financial statements. Draft the expected audit report that will be issued
by Carter and Mclean Accounting for this engagement. Assume that the financial
statements of EastJet are prepared under one of the two general purpose accounting
frameworks used in Canada.(15 marks)

Appendix 2: Notes from meeting
Dave Wilson and Ron Joyce explained that EastJet operates in a very competitive environment.
The economic downturn has resulted in fewer charter flights and airlines have been offering
reduced rates to remain competitive. EastJet has been paying strict attention to cost controls and
have introduced a bonus for management that is based on the company’s profitability.
Recently two of EastJet’s major customers have gone into bankruptcy. There is $55,000 in
advanced ticket sales related to these customers.
EastJet held a manager’s retreat last month to think of ways to boost the business. The company
intends on offering an exclusive business class service for business customers such that they can
fly to and from a major city in the same day. This service will begin in the new year. EastJet is
optimistic that there will be an 80% uptake of seats on these flights that will be offered from
Monday through Friday.
One of EastJet’s planes was damaged as a result of a fire in the cockpit. Although the plane was
insured the insurance company is disputing the claim because the company did not meet safety
standards that were required in the industry. The cost of the damage is estimated at $140,000.
Because EastJet is anticipating additional flights in the new year, it will need to lease or purchase
additional planes. EastJet has begun discussions with a leasing company in regards to leasing the
planes. They expect the leasing agreements to be in place by year end.

Appendix 3: Notes regarding the accounts receivable and property, plant and equipment
work performed by the junior auditor.
Accounts Receivables / Unearned Revenue
When clients book charter flights, the flight is prepaid and the amounts are recorded in unearned
revenue. Once the service has been provided (the client takes the flight) the unearned revenue
related to the flight is transferred to revenue.
Large well established clients do not have to prepay and are invoiced for the amounts of the
flights. These represent the accounts receivable amounts on the balance sheet. The prior year
audit file indicates there were issues with accounts receivables in prior years – Eastjet had
accounted for unearned revenue as accounts receivable.
The junior accountant performed analytical review on the accounts receivable noting that
percentage of accounts receivable as a percentage of total assets was consistent with the prior
year. There were several credit balances in accounts receivable which the junior ignored. No
confirmations of accounts receivable were performed. The junior auditor concluded the accounts
receivable were fairly stated for the interim period.
Property Plant and Equipment
Property plant and equipment represents the largest item on the balance sheet and represents the
planes that Eastjet owns as well as leased planes. They are separated in the general ledger
accounts. The junior auditor traced each item on the subsidiary ledger to the original invoice,
added the subsidiary ledger and agreed the total to the general ledger. Then the junior auditor
signed the working paper concluding that property plant and equipment was fairly stated for the
interim period.
