Answer & Explanation:Assignment  Not All Companies
Are Viewed as Equal  
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? In this assignment, you
will choose one (1) industry to write about. Possible industries to research could be tobacco, soda,
alcohol, casinos, or candy companies, just to name a few.
Write a one and a half to two (2 – 3) page paper in
which you:
1 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.
2.  Explain the role capitalism plays in corporate
decision making.
3.  Discuss if you believe it is possible for a
company to cater to both its best interest and that of the consumer conjointly or if one always
has to prevail. Justify your response.
