Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Based upon the categorical imperative and utilitarian perspective, the user can have the ethical responsibility to do something.

• The given query results shows that the cities like New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona are the basis for disbursement of the salary.
• These are the cities where many Hispanic employees were born.
• These employees are assumed to be provided with a low salary as they work at lower-pay-grade jobs.
• In those cities, some of non-Hispanic employees also were born and they are paid with higher salary.
• Thus, an ethical responsibility is needed to discharge by making a small change to reduce such differentiation between lower and higher pay grades and provide every employee with an acceptable compensation for their work.
• Categorical imperative refers to doing something for the purpose of itself.
• Based on categorical importance, an individual does not affected by the query result and therefore there is no ethical responsibility to discharge.
• The utilitarian perspective is mentioned to carry out proper actions that maximize the benefit and reduce the loss demands for ethical responsibility discharge.
• Therefore, utilitarian perspective is followed to eliminate the differentiating attitude and reduce the loss to the employees they worked at low-pay-grades.
