Discussion:
The environment and healthcare are very important aspects of our lives, as discussed. However, it is still unclear whether corporations should focus on these as rights or as privileges.
1. Research the concepts "public good" and "private good". From a business ethics perspective, should corporations and society focus on the environment and healthcare as either "public goods" or as "private goods"? Use any of the ethical perspectives (Utilitarianism, Kant's Categorical Imperative, Rawl's Fairness as Justice, etc) to justify your position.
