Philip Morris’s? Troubles?

Utilitarianism refers to an action that can be said good if brings benefit for many people or in another term as a “the greatest happiness of the greatest numbers”. Related to the definition, Philip Morris give so much advantages as contribution and makes a positive economic to a state’s economy, such as give a huge tax to government, reduce unemployment by open jobs for people particularly to the domestic people, and contribute in devisa from export to the third world countries.
           As the right to business, Philip Morris have a right to be involved in business as long as not to break people right (for example not implemented monopoly market, not obeying the goverment regulations and make an effort to close the people’s chance to open business too). As a justice, established the food company from result of selling beer and cigarette profit is still can be right even though there are also have negative assumption that this way as a “money laundry”. Social responsibility that Philip Morris did is to paid taxes as compensation to smokers, but in case there is no actually real corporate social responsibility that company did to the environment.

Virtue is good morale quality in character. In our syndicate opinion, Tobacco and the beer industries have been characterized as “sin industry”, because they make many people get sick and die, and then smoking cause has harm effect and can reduce productivity that will effect to economic condition in one country. To cover this condition, government will pay some health care expenses. But in the other hand, tobacco and the beer industries get much profit. Then they laundry their “dirty money” to buy up clean food business, in effect protecting these funds from any potential liability that might strike its tobacco business. We think it is very bad when we deceive others, we make them suffer to take some dirty profit and then a country become unproductive and we admitted that we take care them, but the truth is not. When the economy condition become so bad, instead that company have some fun at our misery. They don’t have any morale.

        Government through Federal Drug Administration (FDA) concern with this issue because this activity very related to the government effort to collect tax and reduce unemployment. In other hand, the government also must concern to public health about addictive content in cigarette and educated people about the danger of smoking cause effect. But still, there is always produce debate regarding to the cigarette company because some people may argue this business is wrong way (especially who concern in health issues) but in another side, people who take a look deeply particularly who concern in business because this business effort can be contribute benefit to the country.
