Northern Virginia Community College Is Business Bluffing Ethical Discussion
you read “Is Business Bluffing Ethical?” by Albert Carr.
Please consider and respond to the following questions.
1) Carr draws an analogy between business and the game of poker, arguing that it is perfectly acceptable to bluff (or deceive) others in both activities. Explain Carr’s analogy and argument. Do you find this argument convincing? Why or why not?
2) In the lecture on “Ethics, Law, and Business,” an argument is presented that suggests Carr may be wrong to claim that bluffing (or deception) is always permissible in business. This argument appeals to Adam Smith’s justification for a free market capitalist economic system. Do you find this argument as to why Carr may be wrong about deception in business convincing? Why or why not?
3) Carr claims that law provides the only relevant rules or guide to conduct in business. In the lecture on “Ethics, Law, and Business,” two arguments are presented as to why Carr may be wrong about this. Do you find these arguments convincing, or do you think that Carr is right? Why?
