Q1. One emerging issue not discussed in the text is ESG (Environment, Social and Governance). ESG is becoming an increasingly important measure for financial investors. Often, financial investors (including private equity investors) will require companies to meet certain ESG metrics. However, ESG is also politically under attack, so some companies are using a different vocabulary. For example, Macy’s Department Store focuses on People, Community and Planet (see this – optional). But other companies, like Walmart, continue to use it. In Module 12 we asked whether Walmart is doing enough for its workers. In this discussion board, I want you to visit Walmart’s and, in just one or two sentences, state whether you think Walmart’s shared values illustrate a strong commitment to social responsibility.
Q2:
In step 4, you watched Elon Musk explain climate change and defend a carbon tax (if you missed it, click ). He basically said that carbon emissions is a negative externality in need of a solution, and a carbon tax provides the solution. Let’s suppose Musk is correct. Which moral theory (utilitarian, Kantian, Virtue Ethics, Human Rights) do you think best supports his argument? (There is more than one correct answer, but some theories fit his argument better than others).
