TOPIC: " If the primary duty and concern of a corporation is to make money, then conflict is inevitable when the corporation must also acknowledge a duty to serve society." As the economic develop with an ever increasingly fast rapid, there is an overheated controversy these days over whether the the primary duty and concern of a company is to maximize its profit and whether its vital function conflicts its indispensable duty to the whole society. Some people assert that if the primary duty of a corporation is to make money, then it inevitably will conflict with the duty when the company must take some duties in the society. While others maintain that it is unquestionable that a corporations’ main duty is to make profit, and this purpose is compatible with the responsibility that a corporation should take. As a matter of fact, the issue of whether these two purposes conflict each other is a complex and controversial one. Different people hold different views due to their backgrounds. Therefore, there is not a universal answer to this question, and whether one side takes precedence over the other may quite depend on the specific situation. As far as I am concerned, however, I agree that a company can both make money and take a duty to serve society. My view can be greatly substantiated by the following discussions. First of all, I believe that the ability of one corporation to make profit is the base to take the society responsibility and duties it can serve to. It is undeniable that a corporation lives to make money and it is the company’s instinct natural to make profit. By this I mean that whether a company can survive in the ever increasingly severe competitive society depends on whether it can make profit and maintain the operation. It is extremely ridiculous to expect an unsuccessful company or a company even on the edge of breakdown to acknowledge a duty to serve society. Secondly, a more successful and profitable company are more prone to serve the society and take the duties than a stagnant company. The reason is quite obvious. Profitable companies have the ability, for instance, much financial resource, material resources, capital resource, technology resources etc, to better serve the society. There are abundant examples can buttress this standpoint. Take the world famous software provider, Microsoft for example, it contributes a lot to not only the US but also the whole world every year by providing much fund for the poor around the world to make them get access to the education or medication. Conversely, those unsuccessful companies which even cannot sustain themselves certainly cannot have the ability to serve the whole world. Admittedly, it is undeniable that sometimes there are presumably some conflicts for a corporation between making profit and contributing the society, since the process to operate and make profit may use much resources from the global. And it is especially true for the manufacture enterprises or the chemical enterprises when they inevitably emit some toxic gases and exert some contaminated emissions which will pollute the environment to great extent. However, the people who hold this viewpoint fail to take consideration that unprofitably enterprises also have this kind of problems, and sometimes even do greater harm to the environment since profitable companies have much financial foundation to take part into the development and research work to minimize this kind of pollution or even eliminate it. In conclusion, due to the above mentioned reasons, the idea that a corporation make profit will inevitable conflict the duty it must take to serve the society is too superficial and partially. The fact that a company can contribute much to the world is owing to a profitable operation, which can provide enough resources to the society and unshakable ability to serve the society better.
