    Dr. Karnani shows in this article from the Wall Street Journal, the pros and cons on whether businesses should be required to implement social welfare initiatives. For some companies, this idea is a win-win situation but there are other businesses that in order to promote these initiatives, they would have to lose profits. The idea of people helping people sounds very good but we have to be realistic, we are living in a capitalist country were people’s priority is their own well-being. The majority of the United States businesses are going to think of how to make profits; if a way to make profits is to improve social welfare then they are more likely to do it. But if by improving social welfare their profits are going to go down, then they are not going to care about the social welfare. Which also turns into a lose-lose situation, in where by increasing the profits will also increase social welfare. Dr. Karnani alleges different ways in which we can balance out both, business and social welfare.…

    Pluralism is a political theory that related to the acknowledgement for diversification that exist in society. Everyone has different views and appreciation for different value in life. Pluralism is a sign of theoretical standpoint on state ad power as well as resources. It depends on how it will be distributed in democratic state like United States of America (USA). Two famous name in mentioned by Manley (1983) in his article are Robert A. Dahl and Charles E. Lindblom. Pluralism in political system is open to multiple interests of different group in society. All (professional associations, environmentalist, business and financial lobbies etc) are governing the United States and influence laws and policymaking in the state. It thus creates different values on viewing policy and laws. For example what highly value by a person is valued differently by others. In addition, this stand made view pluralism as not absolute. Something has to be trade-off to get one thing to be regarded as a decision to benefit all. We made up by different theories and values that we inculcated and practice in our life. No sunmum bonum (highest good) shall replace the other goods as popularized by Kant (Emannuel Kant). To make this thing clear as an example, Galston (2002) in his book used situation of making decision in White House in USA where different representatives from different department came out with different proposal in regarding to domestic policy. Author at that time acted as on behalf of President on a proportion of domestic policy faced difficulty to reject any of the proposals, as it is heterogeneous and may have strength point for different situation for domestic policy (Galston, 2002). It is a matter that there is no absolute point that we can rank order any opinion/good/value that have in society. That is what liberal politics were doing for govern the state. No absolute term to decide what is good…
