The article argues that the goal of business is to increase profit, but it also recognizes that proper relationships must exist between the entrepreneur and employees, customers, the state, and society at large. These relationships are deemed necessary for business to occur, and additional relationships, such as those with contractors, the media, and the natural environment, may also be relevant. The ethical aspects of business are inseparable from the ethical problems present in society. Undesirable behaviors within business activities are discussed as morally reprehensible, affecting both business conduct and generating moral dilemmas within society. Economic issues are noted as playing a significant role in contemporary society, often becoming modern idols.
