Let'em. The point would be to make everything involving gunpowder into a drug crime and then the same overenforcement could be used.

Seizing and repurposing of assets.

guys i'm confused

how is delivering a profit to shareholders a social responsibility?

hitman just wants to snort some blackpowder

ya i didnt much like that question either ves

i feel like their responsibilty is to deliever a product but i guess im just crazy like that

lol

If the only responsibility is to deliver *a* profit then they should cut them a penny and call it a day.

hrm, can i make a company to print my own moneys

@Vesdii What is a social responsibility in the first place?

ahh good question to ask

Once you've decided that, you can decide if it makes sense for a company to prioritize profit.

Doing something, I'd guess. By that question.

the question on the test does not specify that point either

Alot of those questions are actually key lines taken out of major philosophical arguments. But it doesn't give context which is why I think most of you guys are confused.

i guess as a social responsibility in that they are all part of the company

Yeah, that's the point.

A company has special legal status, you could give them additional responsibilities to enjoy that legal status, but that only works if its worth being a company in your country to take them on.

It's a tricky question. You have to figure out what a company is responsible for in the first place and what a "social responsibility" should be

Alot of social justice types say that "social justice" should be a key responsibility for example.

right and thats they way i took the question at first

I personally am not fond of that question, but I won't give my answer lest it changes your outlook briefly while you take the test.

but in the other context i wasnt thinking about at the time thats a different statement

I'm pretty sure it comes from Friedman.

i forget who wrote the test

The argument being that a company's primary objective is to make money by providing a service.

right

It's not really important.

Stuff like "you should earn the fruits of your labor" has been used many times by many people.

For completely different interpretations.

It's actually a big problem I have with these tests.

They often end up being little more than push polls.

but i have always more viewed it in the light of the customer is always right in that respect so as long as you have a good product

And frequently tie poorly to what people vote on or think.

then you have something to make the profit off of

I think making money for the shareholders IS the key responsibility of a company as that's what it does differently from a sole proprietorship.

You guys have the basic idea pretty solid.

But alot of people see that and assume it means sacrificing all for the sake of money (to the point of selling all assets to make a quick buck for the shareholders)
