The competing ethical claims regarding the hiring of the three workers are as follows: one is assumed to be more in need because of an objective claim of financial hardship (Dinu); another subjectively feels more aggrieved because of reduced circumstances (Bishanno), and the third is seen as worse off because of her health status even though she is neither as poor or unhappy as the other workers (Rogini). Implicit in this argument is that 'need' rather than objective qualifications of the workers is the most important aspect of deciding who gets the job.

Of the three claims, Bishanno's is the weakest -- yes, he may be unhappy now, but will eventually have to acclimate to his new circumstances.

In fact, Camus viewed all ethical and religious systems as inherently absurd constructions, a way for human beings to make meaning of essentially meaningless existences. However, by acknowledging the constructed nature of ethics, we are able to find a sense of peace and even freedom.
Q6. A morally worthy life may not satisfy all of our needs for material goods or even for self-actualization. For example, in theory it might be more morally worthy for me to donate the extra money I earn to help starving people in Africa, but from a humanely desirable perspective and a desire to improve my life I might want to use the extra cash to take a philosophy course at a local university. Using the money to help others may be more morally worthy although my other desired use has admirable principles behind it and may help me personally to live a more fulfilling and examined…
