For this paper, we have to compare two cases, one case is short it’s called “Ethics in Big Pharma” and the other one is the NASA book, I have taken some pictures from chapter 1&2 of the book, it should be good enough information for comparing the case. But if you have the book or if you want to borrow it from the library, below is the name for it.
one of the big issue that I think can link 2 cases together is their ethics problem, in the small cases the pharmacy claims that they are telling people everything but they are actually not just like in the NASA case, they don’t’ tell the people everything when they say they are, they know the problem of making the shuttle exposed but they don’t want to admit it. And from chapter 1, from the timeline, it shows that they didn’t tell the people even the family of the astronaut about their lost until 2pm when the president have a statement << it could also claim it as a ethic problem.

4) Similarities and differences between the two cases (with respect to the relevant theories and concepts)

**point 1+2 should be no more than 1 page. And for point 2 about the summary of the relevant information from the NASA case is only the part that you want to put in the paper.
**other than that, point 3-6 should always be comparing two cases, and linking it together instead of talking it separately.
