BLAW 3201 Chapter : 01 SR14
Document Summary
Business ethics and the social responsibility of business. In some cultures being involved in a lawsuit is something about which to be ashamed. Our society has been criticized for being overly litigious. In fact, we even go on television to sue in "the people"s court" and other similar shows. Because of this, the defendant in a criminal case has rights that are constitutionally protected. The victims of the crime do not have as many rights in the criminal trial as does the defendant. Activities and research problems: have students draw a diagram of two overlapping circles, with one circle labeled moral and the other labeled legal. the area of overlap would be both moral and legal. Then list several controversial topics of current interest (e. g. , abortion, capital punishment, marijuana smoking, etc. ) for students to place within an area of the diagram (or outside the circles if it is neither moral nor legal).
