Please refer to the case, "Pete Oiler and Winn-Dixie Stores," found in the pdf file I attached. It is from a textbook, Business Ethics: Cases & Concepts (7th ed.), at pp376-77. Determine whether it was wrong for Winn-Dixie to fire Pete Oiler, in light of the theories: Utilitarianism, Rights, Justice, Caring and Virtue. Conclude by presenting your own judgment of the issue and your estimation of which theory was most appropriate for this problem. State your reasons for your judgment and estimation.
