Discussion Module 2
This discussion board post will take the form of a debate about the model of corporate social responsibility and “free-market” or neoclassical economic theory. The rules are as follows:
• If your last name begins with letters A – M, you are on “the team for the economic model of corporate social responsibility”; ***MINE IS A B*******• If your last name begins with any letter between N and Z, you are on “team for the economic model of the “free-market” or neoclassical economic theory.
You must make an initial post trying to defend taking your team’s economic model as both best and true. Your initial post must be at least 200-300 words. You should number your arguments for clarity, and if you are referencing anything, provide documentation to back up your claims through citations. You need to put forward the best argument you can to persuade others on behalf of your team’s position regarding economic model. Of course it’s harder to defend a position that you do not prefer or that is not your own; but it also helps us to better understand these positions if we take the time to ‘think them through from within.’
Once you finish your post, you must provide a counter argument (minimum of 50 words) to a response from the other team. Put on your boxing gloves again; it’s Round 2, and it’s time to rumble!
