| LAW 501 Law, Business and Society |
3 Credits |
|
This course focuses on the complex interactions between
legal, social, and business forces. Multi-national
corporations influence governments;
the environment is exploited and protected;
people emigrate and demand more of their
employers; governments try to balance
business revenue and social justice. Can we say
that a law ''caused'' an effect in society,
or a business event ''caused'' a new law to be made?
Does an effect sometimes become a cause in its
own right, reinforcing an original effect? Sometimes
the unintended effects of a
business, legal, or social development are
more important than the intended effects.
We'll discuss topics including the development
of the modern banking system, very large
companies, how businesses relate to each
other and society, how government seeks
to protect people from business practices,
and issues of environmental protection, free use
of information (or not), and globalization.
