Imagine I have no idea what you are talking about and you must teach this to me.You must cite from the papers. Provide me with page numbers if you quote directly, paraphrase, or merely use the idea or concept. Provide a bibliography at the end. DO NOT USE the powerpoints as main resources.

What role do these excusing conditions play in terms of a) moral responsibility and b) moral accountability?3) What are the Virtues of a Capitalist Free Market System?

Please describe any and all possible levels of moral responsibility within the corporation. What does this say about the corporation, that is, at what level is the corporation to be held responsible for its actions: as a moral entity, only in terms of its policy makers, or in terms of any or all of its employees?5) Why ought there be an open and public system of corporate disclosure at the level of corporations?

The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2.
