5. (for a possible extra 25 points - you must write at least 250 words AND indicate word count at end of text). There are businesses that say or have been identified "with a conscience." Identify two of them that you believe truly "have a concience" and then demonstrate what would lead a person to believe what you suggest is true. What does it mean for a corporation or business to have a conscience? Then, do the same with two that you truly believe "do not have a conscience."
