Question

This scenario presents an ethics issue based on cultural contradictions because what may be acceptable in one country may not be acceptable in another. The pesticide may be banned in the U.S. due to environmental or health concerns, but it may not be banned in other countries with different regulations or cultural views on the use of pesticides. This creates a cross-cultural contradiction in terms of ethics and values.
