1. Identify the defending team/respondent and type of question: irrelevant, multi-part, emotionally, charged, antagonistic, forced choice, hypothetical, empty chair, leading or loaded. Zach playing a group of shareholders went after the chairman Robert Coury (Joe Porrazzo) on the cost of a product recall vs his salary. This was a hypothetical / antagonistic question. (2:00 into Panopto) 2. Briefly summarize best practices for answering that type of question. If the question is an inappropriate leap to a hypothetical situation call it as such. Make the hypothetical concrete or grounded. Try to reframe then rephrase into relevant question that pushes your SOCO. If the interview is being directly antagonistic avoid jumping into the mud.
2. Taking the two examples (one example of right versus right moral dilemma, and one example of right versus wrong from your work experience) that you identified in week one, what criteria and factors were considered during the examination of the issue or dilemma?

Patagonia strives to provide quality clothing and outdoor equipment while staying as environmentally friendly as possible. A hiking boot, for example, would need to fit strict requirements. The boot would need to be durable, comfortable, stylish, and made from environmentally friendly products. You also need to determine if there is a large enough market for the product.
