Major Themes:
In the business world, it is important to note that responsibility of each country's are crucial to determine the country's success: social and business responsibilities as well as political factors, principles and consequence. Friedman divided the article into these sections where he specified the roles of what people do at their jobs. People should change their attitude based on where they are at the moment in time; whether at business or social locations to do the better of a community.
Cultural Values:
I believe that Friedman's most important cultural values are high individualism because people are responsible for making their own decisions on any situations and like to be independent. People like to solve their problems on their own rather than in a collectivist country where the focus is on the group. In the article, Friedman states that "he is spending his own money not the money of his employers." This clearly states that the boss highly values on himself more than others. Also hierarchy plays an important role when it comes for the authority to take charge of the underclassmen. Note that whatever job a person has determines their status in life because every one is competing against each other to attain the spot in place of another, their rival.
Conflict Between Business and Social Responsibility
I do not think there is a conflict, however, when the line is drawn, there is. Business responsibility defines as when the main goal is to conform to client's needs and provide the best quality goods and services for the citizens.Social responsibility means that people and organizations have a positive impact on development contribution, environment, and the business society. In different settings, its important to determine whether one lies within each other. I say it does not because business and social factors are practiced differently and are of different concepts.
