Choose one of the following industries to frame your paper:
The oil industry (for example Exxon).
The candy industry.
The mining industry.
Write a paper in which you:
Become an advocate for either the consumer or the industry.
Prepare an argument explaining the major reasons why you support either the consumer or the industry.
Discuss whether you believe it is possible for a company to cater to both its best interest and that of the consumer simultaneously or if one always has to prevail. Justify your response.
Determine the ethical considerations for balancing corporate and social responsibilities.
In the land of free trade, the public does not view all industries as equal. Do you believe that is ethical? Do you believe that some industries are unfairly targeted? Should it be consumers’ choice to partake in products that are not healthy for them, or do those companies have an ethical obligation to protect people?
