6. Hm. Not at my school.

Mind you, my major is accounting (4th year, only electives left) and ethics and corporate responsibility are HUGE for accountants so we have spent a ton of time on those things in courses. They are a bit sensitive after Arthur Anderson, you see. But yeah, maybe my school is different. Learning about maximizing profits is always - ALWAYS - tempered with corporate responsibility. Again, I'm in Canada so, yeah, it's probably different.

Oh, and when I say it's 'not taught' I mean that it's taught as a failure. I learned all about it in every econ, international business and accounting theory class. It's not taught as a viable option for the economy here, is what I mean.
