For this discussion, read Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” (linked in “Other Readings”), and post a 250-word response to the following question:Henry proclaims the value of liberty over security. I’m interested in whether or not you agree with him–or to what extent either way. All other things being equal, which nation would you prefer to live in: (1) a nation with greater personal liberty and less personal security, or (2) a nation with lesser personal liberty and greater personal security? Why?For your grade, you will need to:(1) Read Henry’s “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” and post a 250-word response to the question that demonstrates that you read it.(2) Respond to the original posts of at least 3 others. Your response needs to be substantive, pointing out what you agree with, disagree with, or something else. For example, “I agree with you that _ because __” works well. Yet, a simple “I agree” is insufficient.https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/patrick.asp

For this essay you will pick a global crisis related to food, fuel or water and pick a position in regards to the crisis. Look at the countries you picked and think about what position they would take in the subject. Would they agree with the existence of a ‘crisis’? Would they believe that the international community should step in or not?
For this essay you will pick a global crisis related to food, fuel or water and pick a position in regards to the crisis. I suggest you look at the countries you picked and think about what position they would take in the subject. Would they agree with the existence of a ‘crisis’? Would they believe that the international community should step in or not? Do they believe they, as a country, have any responsibilities to help better the crisis? Or do they wash their hands from it and refuse to accept the emergency of the situation? Your analysis should be grounded in one of the theories we have studied. You do NOT have to pick more than one theory. In fact, I rather you thoroughly and correctly apply ONE theory, than attempt to add all of them just for the sake of doing so. If you wish, you may pick more than one. Just make sure you are confident you can pull it off. You do not have to think as a policymaker and give solutions to the crisis yet (that is for your research paper), but I do encourage you to think as a leader of your country.
In this project, you will discuss and analyze the arguments for and against Milton Friedman’s thesis that the only purpose of business is to make money. You will apply the arguments for and against to a specific ethical issue that you have previously discussed in a weekly discussion.
Purpose: In this project, you will discuss and analyze the arguments for and against Milton Friedman’s thesis that the only purpose of business is to make money. You will apply the arguments for and against to a specific ethical issue that you have previously discussed in a weekly discussion.
Learning outcome met by completing this project:
Identify ethical issues that arise in domestic and global business environments using an understanding of ethical concepts and of legal and business principles.
How to Set Up the Paper
Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The format should be in memo form. The final product will be between 8-10 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. Write clearly and concisely.
Instructions:
You serve as the assistant to the very recently appointed CEO of a prominent start-up that is beginning to grow rapidly. The new CEO, Tara Richmond, is a former general who gained visibility in the military for her outstanding leadership qualities. Since her arrival, the Board of Directors has had spirited debates on several proposals that would increase corporate profits but would work to the disadvantage of some members of the public as well as other stakeholders. Some members of the board are arguing that the only obligation the company has is to make profits for the stockholders. Other members of the board are arguing that the company has an obligation to the community and to stakeholders other than just the stockholders.
Your boss is baffled by the debate. “When I was in the military, my duties to others were clearly laid out. Here, I am unsure to whom the company owes a duty.” She turns to you for advice, requesting that you draft a memo that explains what the company’s ethical obligations are in situations like these. She asks you to start with Milton Friedman’s opinion piece in 1970, arguing that a company’s only ethical responsibility is to make profits. That can be found at http://ezproxy.umgc.edu/login?url=https://www-proquest-com.ezproxy.umgc.edu/newspapers/social-responsibility-business-is-increase/docview/2441921739/se-2?accountid=14580.
She also asks you to review a much more recent memo from the Business Roundtable that takes a more expansive view of the responsibilities of a company. The Business Roundtable consists of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, many of whom are familiar names to her. That memo can be found at https://system.businessroundtable.org/app/uploads/sites/5/2021/02/BRT-Statement-on-the-Purpose-of-a-Corporation-Feburary-2021-compressed.pdf.
You should do additional research on arguments for and against Friedman’s proposition. Using your classroom materials as well as external sources, respond to the following prompts:
- Explain Milton Friedman’s arguments supporting that a company’s only obligation is to make money.
- Explain the arguments contrary to Friedman’s position including where the Business Roundtable stands as well as other arguments you find in your research.
- Using one of the ethical issues that you posted in classroom discussions, illustrate for the CEO, how that issue would be resolved using Friedman’s perspective and how it would be resolved using the perspective of the Business Roundtable.
- Which of these positions do you find most compelling and why?
Your memo should begin with an introduction and end with a conclusion where you make recommendations to the CEO.
Course Material and Research
This project requires you to do research on UMGC Library Databases or on the Internet. You are expected to use course material going beyond defining terms. You are expected to explain the ‘why and how’ of a situation. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally showing an understanding of the logical connections between the course material and the question(s) being asked. Using one or two in-text citations from the course material throughout the entire paper will not earn many points on the assignment. The support must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Points are not earned for mentioning a term or concept but by clearly and thoroughly explaining or discussing the question at hand.

Checklist
Specific Project Requirements
Proofread your paper.
Read and use the grading rubric while completing the memo to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.
Submit file in Assignment Folder as a Word or RTF file. No pdf files will be graded.
Third person writing is required. Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.
Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.
Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks. Paraphrase means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document. Instead put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document by using an in-text citation.
Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from being a direct quote. If more than four consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will not be included in the grade and could lead to allegations of academic dishonesty.
Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference associated with each in-text citation.
Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.
You are expected to use the weekly course materials to develop the analysis and support the reasoning. See the module, Learn How to Support What You Write. There should be a robust use of the course materials along with a thorough analysis.
The citations must contain the title of the eBook, the chapter title and year. The case scenario facts are not cited but do not use more than four consecutive words when completing the project. If more than four consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will not be included in the grade and could lead to allegations of academic dishonesty.
Submit the paper in the Assignment Folder
The assignment submitted to the Assignment Folder will be considered the student’s final product and therefore ready for grading by the instructor. It is incumbent upon the student to verify the assignment is the correct submission. No exceptions will be considered by the instructor.
