"Governments should not be responsible for regulating business and other organizations. Instead, society would benefit if the organization themselves assumed most of the responsibility for establishing and enforcing their own standards and regulations". discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, obersations, or reading.
The speaker suggests that the responsibility for regulating business and other organizations should not be taken by government but be taken by the organizations. I do not agree with this opinion on the ground that business and other organizations don't regard the public good of society for the sake of magnifying their profits as much as possible, government can execute regulations to resolve conflicts between business and public and government has more abundant resources and powerful authority to keep order and equity in society. I strongly hold that government should play an active role in regulating the social life as well as business competition.
To begin with, business and other organizations, like individuals, tend to pursue their private interests regardless of the public good of society. For instance, noise pollution is a big issue in modern society and governments play an important role in executing laws to protect public from the damage of noisy of factories. In my case, several years ago, I suffered the noisy disturbance during the exam periods of entering an ideal university because my home is near from the factory that was making big noise at night. The boss of that factory asked his employees to extend working time until mid-night for more profits. I could not stand this situation and claim my dissatisfaction to the factory but without any results. I claimed my trouble to the local government and acquire a quiet environment at night after the successful consult between the government and the factory had been done. .
Another important consideration is government has the necessary resource and authority to maintain order and justice in the severe competition among various business and organizations. In order to defeat other businesses, some companies use illegal strategy such as lowing the price of products in unreasonable extent, taking advantages of unreal advertisements. For example, some years ago, manufacturing microwaves was so profitable in China that stimulated many more companies to produce microwaves. In the sake of making more profits, some big-scale companies start to depreciate their price to make other small companies bankrupt. After winning the big portion of microwave’s market, big-scale companies surprisingly raise its price. The latter consumers will be the final victims because they have to pay much more money than ever before. Another illegal way is unreal advertisement. Some companies advertise their products through TV, radio and the internet but actually their products have not good qualities as what they have advertised. Consumers will waste their money after buying these poor quality products. Government have the authority to execute laws which can effectively prevent the illegal competition.
Again, I would state my objection to this issue after analyzing the two reasons. Government should play an important role in regulating businesses and organizations because government can prevent businesses from pursuing private interests regardless of public good of the society and have more abundant strategies and authorities to maintain the order and justices of severe competition.
