Terminology such as ‘triple bottom line’, ‘circular economy’ and ‘corporate social responsibility’ is used by pubic relations firms representing major multi national companies. Senior executives launch programs and make speeches in order to appear to be committed to social causes including the environment, equality of opportunity for all ethnicities and a robust democracy.

Think deeply about the motivation of these executives and discuss the concepts of ‘universalism vs. particularism’ as applied to their behaviour.
