Responsibilities Essay, Research Paper


Almost every time one turns on the television he will see some sort of


advertisement. Shoes, cars, phone companies, and many other


products are advertised every day. We see all sorts of commercials


where the end is full of fine lines that are displayed so fast that one,


whom is not a speed reader, could never read it before it is taken off of


the screen. This leaves the viewer with only the knowledge of what he


saw in the commercial without the fine wording at the end. There are


also radio advertisements, billboards, and fliers containing false or


misleading advertisements. Is it fair that many of the advertisements


that businesses have today are misleading? No, this is not fair. I


believe that business?s have an ethical responsibility to society to be


honest, not misleading. Reasons that I believe this include: fairness


and moral obligation.


An ad on the television states that used cars can be bought for a


very small amount. This makes one want to run out and buy the car.


He goes to see the car. It looks and drives fine. The salesman says


that the car has had one owner, and had never had any problems. The


customer buys the car. A couple days later the car has some major


problems. With a little searching on the title, the owner found out the car


had been wrecked. This is not fair. It is not fair for advertisements or


salesmen to be misleading. This customer has officially been ?ripped


off?. This is not uncommon, How is one supposed to trust businesses


when they have been ?ripped off? and seen or heard of other people


being ripped off?


What ever happened to people that had morals that governed their


everyday life? Salesmen can look one straight in the eye, without even


flinching, and tell a bold faced lie. This is very wrong. Other people ?get


around? having to tell one a lie, For example, the car salesman


mentioned above was not asked if the car had been involved in an


accident. He did not exactly lie, but was morally incorrect. This is very


wrong. Businesses have a moral obligation to be honest. How can the


salesman let the customer drive away knowing that he ?ripped the


customer off?? Where are the morals? Or should I say, ?What are


morals??


In conclusion fairness and moral obligation are two reasons why


businesses have an ethical responsibility to society to be honest instead


of misleading. These days one can not even trust the advertisements


he sees. However, some customers do fall for the misleading ads.


One should be able to go buy a car without checking out the car?s


history or the salesman?s possible criminal record.
