In the absence of the CSA mandate there is conflict between the principle of charity and this obligation to support those who are most vulnerable. A society which places greater value on money than on human existence needs to have sense of balance, because all human beings are equal, and must suffer equally. If societys monetary policy is based on belief that a person is only worth money if they can keep job for their whole life and to lead comfortable life, they do disservice to future generations who have no job or disability to live in own house, will suffer greater deprivation of life, because money is fungible, or less valuable and can be replaced only by higher quality goods and services (Santa Cruz, et al., 2020). So the argument is that since corporate social responsibility mandates the provision of services which support the poor people, the principle of charity will not be properly upheld. It will be moral obligation that individuals who are in poverty should give to charity which then makes less dependent on charity. There is no reason why such a non-biblical choice will not make people less dependent on charity. If so, the argument is that the same will be true of CSD where people in poverty are already obliged to spend an income to support a family. Some examples of Corporate Social Responsibilities causes that should be avoided are: Any employee whose position is in direct responsibility for management decisions or in indirect responsibility for administrative decisions; Employees whose position is in direct responsibility for management of any aspect of any other group and Employees in any group whose duties are closely related to any group of others whose duties include the management of other groups of individuals (Vevere, Svirina, 2020).

Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility. 2nd Student Post: The Schools of ethical thought are Virtue Ethics, Consequentialist Ethics, and Deontological or Duty-Based Ethics. Virtue Ethics are the basic ethical standards and are commonly used by moral philosophers. Consequentialism is concerned with the proper relation between individuals (i.e. the natural laws that govern them in the material world), or whether persons are made according to moral principles. (Athanassoulis, 2018). Deontological or Duty-Based Ethics are moral rules which are applied by individuals to the acts or decisions of their societies and societies around them. This includes, e.g., ethics for the citizens of a country, ethics for a family, ethics for a society, and ethics for a nation. These methods of assessing and explaining things can also be applied to the moral theory of virtue ethics, especially the ethical norms that are considered the fundamental norm of morality. Some moral theories attempt to justify the existence of such moral norms and to give credit to them, but others attempt to refute such norms and give credit to the norms that are rejected. However, such moral theories and norms do not distinguish between the two kinds of theories; rather, they are both concerned with the same norm that are used to compare moral theories. (Caldwell, 2019) In general, an ethical theory is a theory or a system in which moral truths are formulated in terms of specific kinds of behavior; then these concepts are used to compare moral theories and the consequences of that comparison, and ultimately to determine which of the moral theories is the correct theory. In contrast, a moral theory is a set of individual norms and rules with which one makes general assertions. Athanassoulis, N. (2018). Virtue Ethics. Bloomsbury Academic. Caldwell, J. L., Dr. (2019).
