MCQ PDF
Cou
Environmental Ethics explores the moral relationship between humans and the natural

environment, examining ethical theories and concepts as they apply to issues such as

conservation, sustainability, biodiversity, animal rights, and climate change. The course

encourages critical thinking about the values and responsibilities that guide human

interaction with the environment, considering perspectives from philosophy, science,

policy, and culture. Through case studies and debates, students gain a deeper

understanding of the ethical dilemmas involved in balancing human needs with

environmental protection and are challenged to reflect on their own values and

decision-making regarding ecological issues.

Sample Questions
Q1) The government, consumers, and members of the community are examples of
A) stockholders.
B) the technological environment.
C) external stakeholders.
D) primary stakeholders.
Answer: C

Q2) Why does discussion of the institution of business tend to focus on big business?
Answer: When we think of business, we tend to think of the highly visible products and
services that are made available by large corporations. They advertise more than do
local companies, so people all over the country (or world) are familiar with Coca-Cola,
while relatively few have heard of the hair styling salon where you get your hair cut. In
addition, people tend to equate size with power, and we pay closer attention to the
powerful than we do to those without power (just think of the attention a student pays to
the professor or dean, compared to the lack of attention given to a janitor or
groundskeeper).

Q3) Business interacts with only a limited number of stakeholder groups.

A)True
B)False
Answer: False

Sample Questions
Q1) Are the awards described in the textbook effective ways of promoting the idea of
corporate social performance? Why or why not?
Answer: The awards are just one way in which CSP is promoted. Are they sufficient, by
themselves, to bring about widespread acceptance of the CSP concept? Probably not.
But, if viewed as one part of an ongoing campaign, they do help promote the idea. Firms
thrive on positive publicity and recognition, and this is one way to achieve that.

Q2) In Carroll's four-part definition of corporate social responsibility, ethical

responsibilities are required of business only by society, and not by businesses
themselves.
A)True
B)False
Answer: False

Q3) One of the arguments against corporate social responsibility is that by requiring
more of U.S. corporations, they may be put at a disadvantage relative to foreign
competitors. Evaluate this argument.
Answer: This argument is fallacious on its face. Corporate social responsibility is rapidly
becoming a global concern, and many other countries require more from their
corporations than the U.S. requires.
