“Accounting ethics class – movie “Inside Jobs” discussion post
Please just answer the questions, don’t need an essay.
Inside Job is a documentary about the global financial meltdown that occurred in 2008, yet many signs of concerns began earlier. The “Great Recession”, as it is called in the United States, caused millions of job and home losses.
This documentary “provides a detailed examination of the elements that led to the collapse and identifies keys financial and political players. Director Charles Ferguson conducts a wide range of interviews and traces the story from the United States to China to Iceland to several other global financial hot spots.”
Whereas the US and the world have primarily emerged from this financial crisis, the Inside Job documentary, although very informative, is not usually viewed as an uplifting movie. Keep that in mind when choosing your viewing time.
Required:
After watching the Inside Job documentary, respond to each of the following 4 prompts below (1 paragraph for each question).
What were your initial reactions watching the documentary?
The documentary opened discussing how hard the financial collapse hit Iceland. The Icelandic government chose to give bailout proceeds to the average Icelander impacted, instead of bailing out the banks. Iceland also focused on criminal proceedings against involved bankers. This is the opposite of what was done in the US. What are your thoughts on these actions done by the Icelandic government?
Opine on the inter-connectedness of corporate and government stakeholders.
Based on what you heard in the documentary, and your own opinion on this, do you believe there should be more of a separation between corporations and education? Why or why not?

Do you think US trade policy should encourage international trade through free or reduced tariffs or encourage protectionism using trade barriers, such as tariffs? Why? Why not?
“International Marketing depends on International Trade. International Trade has grown exponentially since WWII fostered by institutions such as the WTO, the IMF and The World Bank, plus numerous multilateral trade agreements such as NAFTA (renamed USMCA) and the EU. The purpose of these agreements is to reduce trade barriers such as tariffs among member nations. This has resulted in the growth of overall world trade, and globalization of US and foreign businesses and multinational corporations.
Provide your opinions to the four questions below and defend your point of view. You may review the material provided prior to answering these questions or do some research on your own.
Do you think US trade policy should encourage international trade through free or reduced tariffs or encourage protectionism using trade barriers, such as tariffs? Why? Why not?
Tariffs once imposed are often reciprocal which is called a “trade war”. For example, the US imposed tariffs on 100% of Chinese imports to the US. China, in response, imposed tariffs on 100% of US goods entering China. This has resulted in less trade between the two countries, which are the two largest economies in the world, ( Note: US exports to China were down 18.3 % in 2019 and Chinese imports to the US were down 10.6%.)
Who wins in a trade war such as the US-China trade war? Who loses? Who pays for the tariffs?
President Trump reduced US participation in international institutions such as the Paris Climate Accord, the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Trade Organization (WTO) etc… Under Under President Biden, the US rejoined the Paris Climate Accord, re-established a relationship with the WTO, and WHO, and strengthened the US alliances with NATO and the EU.
Do you feel US cooperation and participation with International organizations and alliances benefit US business and US citizens? Why or why not?
What do you think the long-term impact of this pandemic will be on globalization? Will this worldwide event result in increased cooperation between countries or increased isolationism/protectionism? Why do you say that?
