Activity Details
Step 1: Identify a business to write about.
A perpetual debate revolves around the roles and activities of business owners in contributing to the greater social good. Promoting the so-called proactive stance, some people argue that businesses should be socially responsible by seeking opportunities to benefit the society in which they are permitted to conduct their affairs. Others maintain that because businesses exist to make profits for owners, they have no further obligation to society than that (the defensive stance). Identify a specific business that has been in the news lately.
Step 2: Address the following
Read the following questions, and use what you have learned about the Social Responsibility Issues to summarize your responses:
For the business you identified, provide one example of how this business might choose to contribute to the greater social good, or how this business might choose to ignore contributing to the greater social good over making a profit.
Discuss which side of this ongoing debate is easier to defend and provide a thorough explanation to support your reasoning. Does this change for non-business organizations such as universities, government units, health care organizations, etc.?
How might either side of this debate affect different stakeholders? Does this situation represent social responsibility or ethics or both?
Should a code of ethics address social responsibility? Explain.
Step 3: Write your essay to address all the questions above.

Include a cover page and references in addition to your required word count.
Use correct APA format (7th Edition)
Double-space text
