Week 12 Questions, Thoughts and Quotes
Questions:
Based on what you read in the first two pages, why are virtue and integrity so vital to an economy?
Most people feel that the executives are only out for themselves instead of for the employees. Also, they are trying to up their stock share price by doing more underhanded things such as acquiring businesses to gain more value. Executives are using stock options as a means to gain their wealth instead of through organically growing their businesses.
According to Charles handy, what is the real justification for the existence of businesses?
Companies are treating their employees as costs instead of treating them as the valuable assets they truly are. Companies are out to make a profit, but at what cost?

I like the exit of companies like you in a lever as well as city court going into undeveloped countries to help find their societies. This can help those nations survive in the large scheme of things. The other example is using charitable organizations in this way, “By creating new products, spreading technology and raising productivity, enhancing quality and improving ser- vice, business has always been the active agent of progress. It helps make the good things of life available and afford- able to ever more people. This process is driven by competition and spurred on.” We can help the problem by finding solutions through organizations that are willing to stand up in a time when most organizations are only looking to better their company instead of the benefit of all mankind.
Thoughts:
Reading and watching all of the articles and videos has lead me to the idea about civic duty. There is so much we can do to help bring about and eradicate social barriers from being poor. It is our duty as human beings to help those less fortunate. As Elder Holland put it, we are all beggars and stand in need of help. We all turn to Heavenly Father for strength, help, and support. We need to lend a hand at all turns in our lives as much as we possibly can. Covetousness can sink in if we let it, instead of the opposite of freely giving our time, talents, and income at every turn. We should be going to the Lord each and every day and asking for ways that he can open doors to help those who need it most. Service is our greatest requirement while we are here on this earth.
Quotes:
Today we would live in a different kind of world if economics had started out with the premise that all human beings are potential entrepreneurs, which they are.
The banking institutions, by deciding they can only do business with the rich, literally have created financial apartheid. When they announced that the poor were not credit worthy, It was almost pronouncing a death sentence.
As a social science, economics should have recognized credit as a human right and should have promoted creative efforts to deliver credit to all. If we can redesign economics as a genuine social science, we can be firmly on our way to creating a property free world.-Yunus
rich or poor, we are to “do what we can” when others are in need.-Holland
God knows, and He will help you and guide you in compassionate acts of discipleship if you are conscientiously wanting and praying and looking for ways to keep a commandment He has given us again and again._Holland
