Prior to taking this course, what opinion did you have as to any ethical requirement for corporations to comply with ethical standards over and beyond legal ones? Having read and observed the material provided under this 2nd theme - "Why Study Business Ethics?" - has this changed your mind? Please address at least one of the arguments in the essay by J. Hooker, "The Case Against Business Ethics: A Study in Bad Arguments." You will see that there remains a divergence of opinion. Some believe that business should focus just on making a profit; others are convinced that business must also consider what is the ethically right thing to do, in the pursuit of their business concerns.
Which view do you think is correct? And why? You will probably want to consider the idea of the Corporation as(or as not as) a "moral person." Provide your answer by starting a new thread under the Discussion section for Week 1, theme 2.
