Straight Arrow unloaded two tankers worth of toxic waste at a port in a foreign nation. Two hundred men and boys worked two days in their shorts and sandals to unload the barrels from the tankers for $5 a day. They were not told about the content of the barrels. Some observers felt that it was the obligation of not just the government, but also of Straight Arrow to ensure that no harm was done to the workers. These observers are most likely justice theorists. rights theorists. cultural relativists. utilitarianists. naive immoralists.

Unlike utilitarianism, natural right theories believe that governments should protect citizen´s rights from being overridden for utilitarian purposes. According to this philosophy, natural rights are fundamental to human life and should be guaranteed to every member of society.

Therefore, those who consider not only Straight Arrow´s responsibility but also the government's obligation to ensure healthy work conditions, are most likely rights theorists.
