Corporate Social Responsibility
Introduction
The paper is about corporate social responsibility. It is discussed in three parts, part one
critically analyzes whether capitalism can lead to human happiness, both advantages and
disadvantages of capitalism are brought forth.
Part two looks in detail the issue of managing risks of derivatives, both the supporting
and opposing issues are also discussed and a conclusion at the end of this part. Finally, part three
discusses in detail whether the price gouging should be regulated. The advantages and
disadvantages of this idea are critically analyzed. In all these three parts, a conclusion is given.
According to world business council for sustainable development publication by Holme
and Watts, corporate social responsibility (CRS) refers to a continuous commitment by business
to behave in ethical manner while contributing to economic growth and at the same time
improving the quality of life of the employees and their families together with that of the entire
community and society as a whole.
CRS policies are in-built and serve as self regulating mechanism in which businesses do
monitor and ensure it supports the existing laws, ethical standards as well as international norms.
Generally, CRS is the deliberate inclusion of the public interest in the corporate decision making
and honoring of a triple bottom line which include; people, p0lanet and profit.
Part I- Capitalism and human happiness
Capitalism according to Hunter (2007) refers to an economic system in which the means
of production and distribution are privately owned and operated for a private profit. The
decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are made by private
actors in the market rather than by central planning by the government; profit is distributed to

4. Corporate Social Responsibility 4
owners who invest in businesses, and wages are paid to workers employed by businesses. This
system is attributed to more efficiency, lower prices for goods and services, rise in affluence and
better products of high quality.
On this issue Adam smith said “if self interest people are alone to seek their own
economic advantage, the result unintended by anyone of them, will be greater advantage for all”
(Hunter, 2007). According to Murrey, (1991) human happiness simply refers to lasting and
justifies satisfaction with one’s life as a whole. It is an edifice developed slowly and over time.
Arguments supporting capitalism
There are several reasons that scholars and those who are for capitalism use to defend
their support for the system. To them, the balance between the pros and cons dictates their
decision. Generally speaking, the system has been thought to promote economic growth and
expansion, improving the human living standards, providing more employment and
opportunities, a requisite of political freedom, fosters efficient allocation of resources, efficient
production and it is a financial incentive.
Deane (2005) he noted that capitalism gave persons with the ability to own property,
which is central to human existence. When people privately own such properties as land,
businesses, goods, services it gives such persons a sense of security and the potential to control
his/her own deeds. Ownership of property bring with it responsibility and accountability and will
ensure that such individuals carefully plan for the future so that they can be able to meet their
own demands and more so that of the family.
For instance, when one own a property, they can use such properties as security and
borrow more money from financial institutions and expand their businesses which will
definitely translate to more job opportunities, development of better services and products among

5. Corporate Social Responsibility 5
other things. Lack of property ownership has been linked to lack of economic growth especially
in developing countries most of which are in Africa.
Capitalism in its own sense allows any person or group of person to engage in businesses.
It is worth noting that when more than one group ventures in the same business, competition will
automatically occur. Economist have argued that competition bring about high quality products
that are affordable. The fear of monopoly arising in this system is completely addressed by
regulatory mechanisms. Very good examples exist especially in automobile industries and
telecommunication and mobile industries.
Competition basically leads to efficient production as well as dynamic efficiency in
which firms are capable of responding to changes in customers’ preferences and needs.
Additionally Hunter (2007) noted that the absence of government interference in this
system creates diverse economies within a country. This is important because even if one of the
economies completely fails, the adversities of this will be cushioned by the other remaining
stable economies. When this is compared to a system where the government controls everything
and diversity does not exist, then when the government gets things wrongs every person
seriously suffers economically. Similarly, capitalism allows faster adoption of change; this
ensures that innovation is not missed hence continual and gallant survival of businesses that will
guarantee employees and consumers salaries and quality and affordable goods and services
respectively.
Capitalism also ensures that people work hard come a new day. This stems from the
concept that those that are lazy, fear taking risks will be justifiably be punished while those that
are creative and take risk will ripe the benefits. All these efforts will translate to a better society
in which medical attention will be guaranteed, food supply be in plenty, proper infrastructure,

6. Corporate Social Responsibility 6
better education systems and poverty reduction. The available chance due to freedom of doing
business coupled with the free will of corporation and working hard, every individual has a
chance of becoming a millionaire.
Capitalism also brings out the concept of financial incentive. It has been suggested that
people work extra hard when there is a financial benefit. In Maslow hierarchy of need, self
actualization can be attained only with a capitalism setup. We see entrepreneurs taking the risk
and innovatively set up businesses because of the financial reward expected from the ventures.
Considering the fact that the drive to be successful as an individual is what makes people feel
motivated about their work, rewarding such people will equally make them feel satisfied and
happier.
This system also ensures that one can obtain cooperation of others voluntarily and not by
force. Finally, the freedom associated with this system has made human beings to venture into
various fields and mechanisms of solving problems; this in the long run has made their lives
better, enjoyable and happier.
Generally speaking capitalism leads to economic growth, high living standards, creates
more opportunities, efficient allocation of resources, efficient production, financial incentives
and fight corruption.
Arguments against capitalism
There is nothing in the entire world that does not have the bad side, not even capitalism.
Critics of the system among them the socialist, anarchist, communist, technocrats have brought
forth very strong argument against capitalism. The disadvantages of the system stems from what
Karl Marx said, "If people are left to their own self-interested devices, those who own the means

7. Corporate Social Responsibility 7
of production will rapidly reduce everyone else to virtual slaves. Although the few may be
fabulously happy, all others would live in misery”.
It has been suggested that capitalism bring about unequal distribution of resources, hence
the notion that the wealthy will grow wealthier while the poor will be poorer. The skewed
allocation of wealth brought about by the system will not only be felt by the current generation
but by the subsequent once. This is because children of the less fortunate parents are at a
disadvantage to fight in the free market as compared to those from wealthy parents who have the
advantage of inheriting property and expanding it.
This unequal distribution of wealth may heighten the level of poverty leading to
homelessness, slums, poor medical services hence high rates of mortality and death rates, misery,
high level of crimes, wars and civil unrest especially between the rich and the poor in the society.
All these will stem from the fact that the wealthy in the society may misuse the less fortunate
one, although corporation is voluntarily, the poor has no obligation to work for the rich to meet
his/her need, and with this in mind the rich will mistreat the poor. The system has been attributed
to constant accumulation of wealth to the already wealthy; this according to critics enhances
servitude.
In addition, when those that support the system argue that competitions will a rise leading
to production of quality services and products at lower and affordable prices, they seem to forget
that the businesses that will not survive in an environment will wither and die. Similarly
monopolies tend to be formed under such a system. In this way, they are capable of being
pernicious suggesting that business owners greatly profit by charging exorbitant prices as such
services or products cannot be got elsewhere and they have the power to decide on the prices to
be charged. This makes the poor poorer in the society-widening the poverty gap.

8. Corporate Social Responsibility 8
Capitalism has been regarded to be irrational by socialist in that production and the
direction of the economy is unplanned, creating many inconsistencies and internal contradictions
leading to economic crunch that produces depressions that damages lives of many. Due to lack of
planning of the economy, potential future problems can not be foreseen and prevented. In event
of the occurrence of economic depression, the poor individuals in the society will be left worse
than they were before.
Additionally, according to Rand (1982), capitalism has raised the issue of morality while
individuals strive to better their lives. Although persons are accountable and responsible for their
actions in this system, freedom and unregulated actions within a societal setting gives room to
those that are venturing in various businesses to harm the environment. The system do not
necessarily require them to stop their actions as it ruins the environment and the well being of
others provided the business bring rewards. Similarly, capitalism calls for a continuous
economic growth; this will inevitably deplete the environment.
The critics argue that the system may be using very sweet language of human rights,
equal employment opportunities, fair salaries and employees’ welfare but in reality, they respect
the right of those not well placed in the society to starve in the sewer and the right of the strong
and successful ones to maintain their position. This can be seen in unequal distribution of
resources.
Conclusion
In conclusion, after closely evaluating the arguments for and against capitalism, I come to
an agreement that capitalism as an economic system can lead to a happier human beings. It is
worth mentioning that currently, we are not living in a pure capitalism scenario thought by Adam
Smith. Happiness is derived from the fact that the society is continuously expanding the

9. Corporate Social Responsibility 9
extension of personal judgment with regards to their future in the hands of the people leading to
creation of more profit that when ploughed back fosters development in the economy.
Among the advantages of capitalism include promoting economic growth and expansion,
improving the human living standards, providing more employment and opportunities, a
requisite of political freedom, fosters efficient allocation of resources, efficient production and it
is a financial incentive. Adam said that it gives room to those who are innovative, talented and
risk takers a chance to fulfill their desires create wealth and at the same time justify the
punishment of the cowards, lazy ones as well as those who refused rise above mediocrity. The
system also establishes a liberating and a civilization system.
Despite the mentioned pros of the system, capitalism has been attributed to inequality
especially when it come to distribution of resources and employment opportunities, the systems
seems to favor the rich while continuing to suppress the poor. Other problems associated with
capitalism are immobility, irrational and monopoly behavior.
Considering the fact that when some strategies will be put in place to curb this problems,
capitalism still stands to offer mankind greater happiness as compared to all other existing
systems especially socialism. Capitalism is practical and moral is the only system that
completely accommodates and promotes the intrinsic worth indispensable for human life. It
upholds the autonomy of the autonomous psyche and identifies the significance of human beings.
My decision to hold the opinion that capitalism can lead to human happiness stems from Kant’s
and Stuart’s philosophies of Categorical Imperative and the concept of duty and greatest good for
the greatest number (Rand, 1982).

Part 2-Derivative Manageable Risk
Directive products are articulated that they serve various imperative rationales for
conglomerates, institutional and other final users. When well placed derivatives are very
essential and proficient tools for various reasons such as declining funding costs, increases
investment returns and interest prevarication and disclosure of exchange rates. However,
directive also are said to pose very critical issues of substantial risks.
Usually directive risks which are vaguely understood usually project corporations,
industries. Lawmakers, central bankers and others financial analyst to deliberate both on
derivatives potential impacts which they portray on the financial market functioning stability and
effective and also the importance of acquisitioning for more regulations (Taylor, 2000). This
have made majority of various end users senior managers to reevaluate the derivatives suitability
for their corporations.
Market risk is the most critical risk which affects derivatives and changes the value, this
usually occurs because there is documented change in underlying index or asset prices. This risk
is also similar to forwards and options, this is also considered so because the essences of
derivatives are mostly fostered by option and forwards bundles. Usually it is articulated that
forward compels one principle to buy and the other to sell the principal at a given period and
price. However, option usually grants the principle the right, although not the responsibility of
whether to purchase or sell the principal asset at a given period and price.
Supporting Issues
Usually it has been derived at that risk in any organization cannot be fully mitigated.
However, this has also been exemplified that risk can be transformed into rather manageable
essence. This has been supported that when one is using guarantee, they ate attempting to

11. Corporate Social Responsibility 11
transfer intangible counterparty credit risk to something which would be viewed tangible and
manageable. However, guarantee it self opens doors for liquidity, settlement and valuation risk.
Some of the fundamental which compliment and mitigate these issues are efficient
collateralization management process (Schwartz, 1997). This is usually achieved through
reconciliation wholesale tool usage and collateral management enhancement automation level
usage.
Another factor which also supports manageable directives risk is economic model
implication. Usually this occurs when the implication models are not well capacitated. In the
industry although each and every model is perfected there are facts which allows this fall out
such as all model adapts same usage of theoretical bias, and financial market and economy
relationship are usually not known or vague, thus this usually lead to systemic risk pestering.
Another support arises from the liquid risks which are usually never accounted for the
model pricing which is executed in financial market dealing. This usually occur because not all
model are projected to counter such scenarios and thus majority of the participants which are in
the liquid market and have adapted this models are engulfed in systemic risks. However to
mitigate this there has to be three forms of counter attack this includes regulation, diversification,
and insurance by project transferring risk (Lowenstein, 2000).
Diversification: directives manageable risk is also known as un-diversifiable risk which is
usually viewed as security risk which cannot be minimized through diversification. Market
participant in the market however like hedge funds are usually a source to enhance systematic
risk, although risk transfer to them would paradoxically boost systemic risk exposure.
Regulation: the main induction of regulation in the market place has been closely
associated with systemic risk reduction. However, directives manageable risk will reoccur when

12. Corporate Social Responsibility 12
regulation arbitrage which is the shift of business from a regulated segment to lees regulated one
or un-regulated segment. Usually these occurrences of migration have prompted that the best
mitigation which can be diagnosed in this case is through regulations.
Project risks: usually in the course of implementing a project there arises various risks
which are not identifiable by the task team during these innovative periods. However these risks
are usually managed through organization capabilities, project system and culture.
Opposing Issues
Some of the opposing issues registered in majority of the model used by the participants
are usually aligned with each user having diverse objectives and thus they end up adapting
alternative uses of directives. This is where the user usually is mostly centralized on the terminal
value to be achieved from the derivative products. Fluctuation in the capital market has brought
about new relationship with each variable in the market. According to McLaughlin (1994) notes
that this usually occurs because derivatives are usually considered to be very complex
instruments in the market. The derivatives market fluctuation has brought about hardship in
prediction due to the chaotic nature of the market due to the constant changing conditions.
Usually due to the myriad interaction of countless stakeholders the financial market usually
experiences fluctuation on the prices of directives. Through this there is exposure of risks which
project the organization to low company earning and low productivity and turn over. However,
analyst have developed myriad diagnosis for cornering this epidemics as it could crumble even
the world strongest economy come crawling to its knee.
Usually historically it has been speculated that financial institution are instilled with
committing one major error which usually cost them. This is that they place more emphasis and
trust on counterparty’s abilities that guarantees their past trades. This has been moistly accredited

13. Corporate Social Responsibility 13
with the recent myriad of crisis in many financial institutions and organizations. Therefore it is
essential to foster and adapt risk management into the project, from this approach all the benefit
that are intended are gained with full effect. Threats within the organization are rampant are they
are bound to be encountered, and this is because of the result of several flawed approach. There
are those projects that usually use no approach in any way while tackling directives risk
management.
This is usually deemed to be out of ignorance, if this is their first project or they have
confidence in that there would not arise any risk within the scope of the project(this usually do
occur in most cases). Another error that most of the pursuant of the risk management in
directives do commit is that they tend to blindly commit all their trust into the project manager,
this they usually do so by the physical appearance of the individual, especially if he is well build
tough looking character like a war veteran, whom for several decades has been in the trenches.
Risk management is actually absorbed in the day to day operation by most modern organization;
they actually deliberate in their general staff meetings (Williams, 2010).
The first step that is usually outlined by this rule of regulation in derivatives risk
management is that the pursuant should first point out the threats. The focus here is mainly to
deal with any forthcoming threats that may occur in the future; this usually is acquired through
keeping keen interest on the subject. The two main source of risk identifiers are people and paper
as the charge that can root out risk. For the project to fully materialize every member in the
project has different capability and expertise while combating threats and conducting the project.
If one decides to outsource then the best candidate to get the advice from would be qualified
experts that have track record with the kind of project or work load that is present (Schwartz,
1997).

14. Corporate Social Responsibility 14
While injecting a new directives risk assessment it is good to outsource, this is mainly
that the person with a lot of expertise will inject a great amount of knowledge and point out
threats that might have crossed the eyes of the project team members. However, for one to
articulate and discover the various threats that may arise, the most advised method is through
interviews while executing group works conferences. Paper here there is differentiation of
theories and approach. The threats that have been identified within the project they generate
various numbers of documentation which are electronic. They usually do not have names but an
intellectual will read between the lines and prune them out. In this sense the best start approach is
usually obtained in the commerce case, planning of the project and planning of the resources as
noted by Taylor (2000). Thus the risk are mitigated and ousted through simple means through the
project implementation or after implementation, here the basic being able to pin point where
derivatives risks can be managed best.
Conclusion
Usually the golden concepts that are instilled and are injected to the risk management of
the directives for the sole purpose of submission and acceptance of threat management are
executed for the benefit of initial derivatives suitability for the corporations (Lowenstein, 2000).
All the rules pertaining how this vice can be rooted are designed to take different approaches that
project managers or any pursuant that may indulge in risk maximization and complete
diminishing would want to articulate adapting various imperative rationales which attempts to
mitigate risk in derivatives.
Derivatives risk management historically has been considered the most beneficial aspect
of combating uncertainty in the organizations and adding value to the capital market. Therefore,
it has bee proven that if the myriad of financial institutions while pursuant to project risk

15. Corporate Social Responsibility 15
management of derivatives is able to pin point the uncertainty in the project then more resources
can be allocated to them if they pursue it in a proactive manner. This is usually attained by
opportunity seizure which usually is spotted when injecting the project with the aim of reducing
the threat that is found within the project. These aspects are responsible for early delivery of
project; on the budget and the kind of quality results that are expected by the sponsors are
achieved. This usually adds value to the initial product which is being utilized to be sold in the
capital market.
Part 3- Should price gouging be regulated?
Price gouging refers to a situation in which sellers put a price tag on a good or service
that is deemed much higher and thus not fair or reasonable. This normally occurs when demand
for a product is very high while the supply is below threshold. In United States of American for
instance have laws against price gouging.
Opposing issues
Regulating the price of goods and or services is nothing but price control mechanism
which does bring about a myriad of negative implication to the economy. The argument here is
that when emergencies coupled with regulation of prices will definitely cause the disappearance
of important goods and services from the shelves. This is because those who will come first will
be served; this scenario leaves those who were in dire need of the commodity at a disadvantage
of not getting such products or services. But when the prices are set at a higher level, those
individuals who do not strongly require the commodity will refrain from buying them this
ensures that they are available for those who strongly need them.

16. Corporate Social Responsibility 16
It is worth noting that higher prices at present tend to decrease utilization and increase
inventories and thus reducing how much prices will rise in future. Thus in general raise in price
will in fact be much less.
According to (Lott, 2003). Opponents of regulating prices say that they support rising
prices under certain conditions and they believe that when the government engages in activities
of controlling prices is a violation of individual rights and or that the ability to raise prices has
beneficial effects. This thus goes against the principles and concepts of capitalism. In addition,
when prices are regulated, good that were scarce will worsen the situation as the commodity may
completely disappear from the market placing those who were in dire need of such commodity at
risk and even loss of live and property.
Similarly, laws against price increases only serves to restrict supplies of goods and
services by reducing the incentive suppliers and producers have to undertake any additional
costs, hazards or inconveniences that may be required. They further say that increase in prices
forces consumers to ration commodities hence increasing the longevity of certain scares
resources especially in emergency situations.
Higher prices will help solve the problem of long queues. Controlled prices has been
linked to very high demand for certain products, this rise in demand will put pressure on the
selling points forcing people to wait in long lines to acquire the product, this seems to be fine to
the proponents of regulating prices, who seem to have a lot of time to do that.
Additionally, higher prices will help especially in areas or states where calamities such as
floods, hurricane has occurred. With the quest to make a few more dollars, these greedy
businesses will load trucks and planes and head to such areas. Thus, the higher the prices the
faster the businesses will strive to take their products to the desperate consumers, this greed

17. Corporate Social Responsibility 17
means less suffering considering the fact that the commodities were delivered on time. Higher
prices bring about potential benefits to consumers. The absence of higher prices eliminates the
prolonged sufferings (Lott, 2003).
Generally speaking setting laws against price gouging will foster shortages of
commodities and more sufferings.
Supporting Issues
Major debates that usually arises in the case of price gouging regulation is that many
concentrate on monopolies played by marketers in cases of disasters. Usually this is also
centralized on man made disasters which goes beyond improper hiking of commodities to certain
market which have higher demand for that particular commodity. Usually this occurs when a
calamity triggers prices gouging because of the high demand for certain product in that particular
region. Then outcry arise that this is ethical and inappropriate. However this efficient system of
product supplication to one particular market segment at a higher price because of demand is was
is termed fluctuation of prices due to high demand brought about by changes in the supply and
demand chain. However, a trader taking advantage of this situation to get extra buck has been
criticized and termed unethical citing flaunting of individual rights. This is also violation of the
free market to the traders who sees an opportunity and seeks to make a profit from the regular
price due to the high demand that has been create because of some unforeseen circumstances.
This usually what one calls free market price mechanism that usually occur un-preceded or
structured but natural and thus the traders usually commit no felony while taking charge of the
opportunity.
There is usually no alarming or felony committed in this condition of opportunities like
this are never created but randomly occur due to unprecedented opportunity that the trader sees

18. Corporate Social Responsibility 18
and seizes it. This usually also occur when certain commodity prices goes high then this also
triggers supply to suit this area because demand is high thus the trader is only sourcing for
market for their merchandise. This would be like the case that when the prices of wheat flour
relatives sky rocket. Then this is to show that there is scarcity of wheat flour in the market. Thus
the farmers would automatically spike up the prices of wheat, through this initiative they have
not committed any felony they have only taken advantage of the capital market to make an extra
profit because there is fluctuation in the market and wheat has now been approved a scarce
commodity.
Now the price gouging in this case is mostly be affected by competition which may also
play part in toning down the prices as each farmer would add up inceptives in their prices. This is
engineered to suit the profit margin which the farmer intend to achieve during the short long run
of the scarcity and when all return to normal the prices automatically regulate to normal. Every
sound person would take advantage of such a situation of a free market price gouging given that
they know that this is short lived and after the scarcity prices are toned to normalcy. This price
spike would be assumed terrible however assume having to do without this commodity.
There are many values which actually many people miss when criticizing price gouging
like the scarcity could be even be on the trader and they are forced to import this commodity.
The expenses incurred are mostly which majority of the traders usually hike prices because of
this are to cater for that transportation, duty levies and shipping fees. This prices gouging enables
the limited qualities of the scarce essential commodities from vanishing from the market.
The market pricing atmosphere is very aggressive and sellers are always attempting to
take advantage of the buyers and consumers. This is usually happens in our daily lives regardless
of whether there are calamities or there going is normal. This can be well exonerated through the

19. Corporate Social Responsibility 19
sales of shares to the stock market. When the buyer buys shares they then wait for the market
shares to elevate then they can sell their shares. Well if this just then the traders have the right to
also invest on the market price fluctuation on certain commodity to achieve also a profit from
this expenditure. Policy makers have given this initiative a bad picture and names like price
gouging, predatory pricing and ticket scalping. However, they themselves also participate in
bonds and share buying or real estate business which also is another form of price gouging (Matt,
2008).
Conclusion
Usually there are myriad of both positive and negative impact that price gouging have on
the consumer and the traders. On the positive notes the market is a free entity which allows the
seller and the buyer to take advantages of each other to suit or make a little saving and profit.
However, people and policy makers have been detailing this epic on a negative side which
details this being un-ethical and immoral. They centralize on these issues basing it on the
calamity angle and how the minority are marginalized through prices fixing that they term
unethical. Mostly this has been associated with the commodity being plenty in the supply and the
prices will favor the minority. This they argue that some of the minority are unjustly priced out
of the market due to emergencies. They further articulate that the supplier benefit unethically
from the consumer in the pretence of high demand due to short supply. Actually this have been
never the case and majority of this people would all say that they indulge in waiting for the
shares market to go up and take advantage of the seller to earn an extra dollar. This profit margin
which occurs with or without calamity are the one which the trader are accused of manipulating
and thus argue that should be regulated however this regulation would also constrain free market
policies as well as they violate human rights when not regulated. Thus this should be left to be

20. Corporate Social Responsibility 20
the way they have been and the government intervene where some traders take excessive
advantage.
