The purpose of this assignment is for you to think critically about ethics and social responsibility for a business as well as to introduce you to the idea of a case study. Case studies typically include a case to read, followed by students writing a brief paper in response to the case. This particular case study provides the critical-thinking questions, while other case studies might exclude the questions. If a case study excludes the questions, then you will need to think critically by asking questions about the case before drafting a brief paper.
