The purpose of this assignment is to examine the diversity of views associated with corporate social responsibility and challenge students to consider their own views. There are two extreme views presented in the assignment. First, Milton Friedman's view is presented in an article he wrote on the issue of corporate social responsibility and second a video link is provided that illustrates the position of Starbucks.
