A big issue in the world of business is how ethically things are handled. An interesting argument is that the events of 9/11 negatively changed business ethics from the prior decade. Some topics mentioned include privacy laws (selling people’s information to private companies) and conflict of interest.
The Attacks of 9/11
I agree with the idea that 9/11 opened up a ton of new possibilities for some companies. Whether it be weapons/vehicle manufacturers or private security/militia groups; the after effects of 9/11 without a doubt brought good business to individuals involved in these companies. It has been argued by many conspiracy theories that top individuals in the United States government benefited financially from wars fought due to 9/11 (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.). For some, war is very profitable, the wars that the United States has been fighting since 9/11 has generated billions of dollars in profit for companies involved in manufacturing for the military.
