About this Unit

Business and its operations increasingly raise ethical issues that affect all of us, including in new and emerging areas. This unit considers many of these issues, such as:Should employers be able to access the social media accounts of job applicants? Do we have a right to know when companies use artificial intelligence to make decisions about us?Should social media platforms ban hate speech and opinions that are harmful to others, or should they allow total freedom of speech?Should businesses use child labour in countries where the law allows it? Or bribes in countries where these are expected?Should there be any limits on the treatment that businesses can subject animals to in producing food or medicines? Should those in business only be guided by profit or are there some things that are too unethical to be done even if they are profitable? If there are ethical obligations in business, how can we decide and agree on these? This unit explores prevailing views on ethical theories and ethical thinking and invites students to explore their own views on these questions and discuss ethical and moral dilemmas that arise in business contexts.Students will learn and apply critical thinking skills related to the practice of business within the framework of societal values.
