BUSINESS ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES 2

Business Ethics and Social Responsibilities

Question 1: Moral responsibility is described as the general status of an individual or

group to bear morally deserving compliments and praises (Sendlhofer, 2020). It is the status

of deserving reward, punishment, or blame for one or many acts performed and neglected,

which is in accordance with various rules and morals. However, moral standards are referred

to as various norms and obligations that different individuals have concerning several actions

not kill if they wanted to be popular. The imperative generally highlighted the need for people

to act just the same way they would want others to treat them. Work ethic is the general belief

that a proper and effective attitude alongside hard work and diligence would pose a great

cold water or soda would be their utility to satisfying their needs. On the other hand,

utilitarianism is the theory describing morality that champions different actions to help
