I did not realize that business and ethical dilemma is such an important issue that is occurring in our society. Usually in news, one sided information was given about businesses destroying the environment. Biased news directs readers into believing that by stopping these businesses, we are saving planet Earth. However, shutting down theses businesses can cause increase in unemployment rate and bring unfortunate into families.
Not only is the environment being harmed, the society is also effected by business being shut down. The dilemma is to choose between keeping people employed in business or protecting the environment. In class, we discuss an area of people in Alberta. The company there are using world’s most precious resource, water, to pump it into the ground to forced natural resources out. The water these civilians are drinking can be lit on fire.
But is it right to shut down the company?
No, because civilians in Alberta rely on fracking as their families only income. If the fracking industries are shut down in Alberta, there will be millions of families applying for income support.
I believed there are solutions that can keep employees in business and changing their approach to helping the environment and society could change the company’s value and also help the community as well.
