Discussion Question

Step 1: Research the following topic and post a short (250-word) response to the prompt on the discussion board.

If you have not read the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, use Internet research to discover the basic premise of the author's 1957 novel. In a 1-2 page paper, describe the basic premise of the book, explain whether you support the book's premise, and discuss whether the book's premise is defendable in light of the ethical and social responsibilities of business.

Step 2: Read other students' posts and respond to at least two other students.

Again, if differences of opinion occur, debate the issues professionally and provide examples to support your opinions.
