Manage Discussion Entry


7. How do you see corporations fulfilling their social responsibility? Do corporations have a social responsibility or do they exist solely to maximize shareholder value? Explain.
I for one don’t think that corporations are doing a good job with their social responsibility. Most corporations will sale you pretty pictures and sob stories only to say yes, we are in the fight to stop ocean pollution, but are they really? This video from YouTube explained it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YBtspm8j8M (Dissolve, 2014) in just how well they are doing to portray how committed they are. This expanded view is exactly how we should think of “corporate social responsibility.” If a company says they are against racism in their TV ads, but their ad budgets continue to flow to sites spreading hate, their CSR programs are no more than lip service (Fou, 2020). Again, in my opinion the corporations exist to maximize share holder value. As such, for both economic and legal reasons, shareholders are recognized as the owners of the corporation and managers have a primary legal obligation to act in the best interest of the shareholders. So, maximizing shareholder value is therefore the primary mission of U.S. corporations (Budd, 2017). The book explains it there in plain text, corporations want to look good to the public and want you to feel as though they are on your side. Once we the consumer has that warm and fuzzy then the company have done its job for the shareholder. We like your product because it will help to save baby ducks that just so happen to be in the last big oil spill. In turn they buy more of the product and the shareholder reaps the benefits.

    Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

     Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
