Good source site...

I'm sure that some of you have seen this already but here is a site that has many articles relating to business ethics and could be a source of good discussion.

Also here is a link to an article that I found within that site that proposes an interesting question. Let me know what you think, but I think I might have to donate the money! Sounds like a win/win to me...

U.S. Weapons Sales

I read an article in the paper today that definitely presents an ethical issue. The article discusses the Bush Administration's increase in sales of U.S. Military weapons. Apparently, so far this fiscal year, weapons sales have soared to $32 billion. This is up from 12 billion in 2005. The United States is currently exporting weapons to Iraq, Afghanistan, Northern Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. I am not an expert on the alliances we have formed throughout the world, but the claim that weapons exports will "build a more secure world" seems absurd. I can see how aiding an ally in need could be a useful military strategy, but helping other countries build an arsenal that could potentially used against us is frightening. Anyway let me know what you all think.
