Question

Opposing Views of Social Responsibility (Scenario)The board of directors of the Four Forks Generating Corporation is meeting to consider the construction of a new electrical generation facility near the Four Forks River. Director Appleton prefers a coal-burning plant because it promises to be the most profitable alternative. Over the short term at least, a coal plant will be by far the least expensive facility to build and operate. Coal is cheap and the considerable pollution from the plant won't affect anything within hundreds of miles from the plant.Director Estrella wants a nuclear plant to be located 30 miles upriver from the biggest city in the area. Nuclear power is cleaner than coal. Completely safeguarding the community against accidents in the plant or in disposing of toxic waste could be very expensive. However, Estrella has discovered that the job can be done much more cheaply by cutting some corners - while still strictly following all laws - and creating some additional risk for the community.Director Jossleman supports the most expensive option of the three - she wants a wind farm to be built along the banks of the river on top of a ridge. The wind turbines produce absolutely no pollution and pose no threat to the community or the environment. They are expensive to build and to operate at the current time because they require elaborate back-up systems to function when the wind isn't blowing.Director Estrella exhibits which of the following social responsibility views?Välj ett svara. social awarenessb. socioeconomic view of social responsibilityc. classical view of social responsibilityd. social obligation

Answer 1

Answer: Director Estrella exhibits the following social responsibility view: social obligation

Step-by-step explanation:

Social obligation:

If we break these two words social refers to society and obligation refers to a commitment which bounds an individual legally or morally to commit a positive act on the society.

It is a social obligation to ensure that the companies operates in a way that doesn't jeopardize the environment and people living around where the company operates and Director Estrella is making sure that he abide by this social obligation.
