Do you agree or disagree? Businesses should do anything they can to make a profit. |
Daewoo Motors, Which was one of the biggest automobile companies in Korea, has gone out of business in 1998. And the most critical factor was the immorality of the CEO, Kim Woo Jung. As a matter of fact, many businesses in the world, which dominated by global capitalism, are likely to make profits regardless of what they should not do. Although the first aim of business is to make profits as much as possible, there are some rules that they should keep in mind all the time. That is, they have to consider public interests and environmental problems.
One of the most important factors to spoil the whole nation is the influences of businesses that do not account for public interests when they run their businesses. Those companies do not treat their consumers properly. To be more specific, they do not care what to do or what not to do to their consumers. For example, there was a vicious company that manufactured plastic toys for children in Korea. However, their toys contained a lot of toxic substances. So children who played with the poisonous toys got serious skin troubles, and even one of them died. The reason of this huge accident was the blindness of the company to money.
In addition, companies should be responsible for environmental problems. Almost every company did not consider environments in the process of industrialization. So many countries in the world today are suffering from irrepairable damages. For instance, one of the most serious problems is global warming, which makes the Earth more warmer and warmer. This phnomenon is caused by the by-product of factories. Those release a huge amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And this gas forms thick layer itself in the air, so the temperature of the Earth increases gradually. As we have seen, this matter is also the results of indiscriminately running businesses.
In conclusion, the only thing that companies consider was money in the past few decades. Thus, the results of this immorality and irresponsibility was catastrophic. Therefore, businesses should remember that public interests are always important and they have to preserve their environments. To be a long-standing and sustainable enterprise, they should bear in mind those rules thoroughly. |
