You have read the Business Ethics lecture notes, reviewed the PP slides, and watched the film

Lord of War. Answer each of the following questions. 1-5 are relatively easy. It should take only

a minute to answer each of these questions. But if you feel the need to expand your answer, you

can. Be sure your answers are clearly communicated and show your understanding of the film’s

ideas.

Questions 6. 7 & 8 will require some added explanation and detail, which will prove you

understand these larger BUSINESS ETHICS concepts – good luck.

8. OK, all business majors who are mad at me: now’s your chance to stand up for yourself and the other business people of the world!!! Make your case: tell me I am

wrong; explain HOW an ethical, honest, caring individual (like you) can become a

GREAT BUSINESS PERSON! (i.e. = very, very, very, very, very RICH!!!) If you

don’t believe this is possible, explain why not.
