Hello friends:
Lately I am finding that when discussing issues about externalities
and specifically organizations that knowingly produce products with
cancer causing agents in them (ie: cosmetics), business students often
reply with "well everything causes cancer now."
For example, I have shown interviews by Dr. Epstein (he was in the
corporation) about various products that are dangerous (or potentially
dangerous) to society. Yet students seem to defend the actions of
these organizations with the sentences like "it depends on how much
led is in the product" or "everything causes cancer these days."
Anybody have any ideas of how to politely respond to that? I know what
I could say, but I don't because I can't get it out without making the
student feel demoralized.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Scott
