    a paper of approximately 750 words that addresses the following prompt:
    The average U.S. CEO was paid approximately $12.94 million in 2011,
    while the average U.S. worker’s pay was approximately $34,000.
    • Is this disparity in compensation ethical? Why or why not?
    • How much of a disparity in compensation would be fair or ethical between a CEO and a worker?
    • What
      factors justify the average rate of pay for a CEO? What factors make
      the average rate of pay for a CEO unethical and/or unfair?
    • If
      you believe that the disparity in pay between CEOs and the typical
      worker is unethical, what recommendations would you suggest to make pay
      more fair or ethical?
    • How does this disparity compare to that of CEOs and workers in countries outside the U.S.?
