A Watered Down Case of Social Responsibility

Abstract

Karen Little, an environmentally conscious individual, is excited when she is assigned to Pure Water One, a company that claims to adopt socially responsible practices at its newest plant. However, the more she learns about this company’s practices, the more conflicted Karen is about working with them. Should Karen turn a blind eye to the company’s practices to keep her job, or should she speak out about the unfair practices, and thus jeopardize her position at her advertising company?
