Public Benefit “Public benefit' is the legal requirement that every organization set up for one or more charitable aims must be able to demonstrate that its aims are for the public benefit”. Both the function and meaning of public benefit has primarily evolved from case law. There are two important aspects of public benefit requirement. Firstly, the purpose must be beneficial to the public, not detrimental. Illustration of this can be seen in National Anti-Vivisection society v IRC , here a trust for suppression of vivisection failed to be charitable because the House of lords held that complete suppression of vivisection was not beneficial for the public, as vivisection was important for medical science and research.

Meta ethics tries to make sense of the terms and concepts used in ethical theories such as Utilitarianism and Natural Law. Some people believe that ethical language is extremely meaningful as they argue it is essential to be able to define terms such as “good” and “bad” before we can even begin to discuss ethical theories. However others disagree with this and argue that moral statements are subjective so are meaningless, as they cannot be described as either true or false.

APPLICATION EXERCISE II – MKTG 3371, 1. I read in the chapter that business needs government regulation to protect innovators of new technology, to protect the interests of society in general, to protect one business from another, and to protect consumers as well.

She believes that conduct should be directed toward promoting the greatest good for the greatest number of persons. In judging whether an individual’s actions are ethical, you look for concrete evidence. It is not enough for an individual to “talk the talk.” Results are needed to indicate that she/he is “walking the walk.” In your opinion, what really counts in reaching an ethical decision is the “bottom line.” Discussions about process and principles are not as important as what is ultimately achieved for the overall good of society. Two years ago at my job I witness a clerk selling information that we give for free to customers and I turned him in. Before I reported him I ask him how you can live with yourself.
