7.According tothe passage,those withhigh EQbut lowAQ arelikely to be.A.successful leadersB.people pleasersC.terrible complainersD.pleasure seekersTheenvironmental practicesof big businesses areshaped by a fundamentalfact that offends oursense of justice.A businessmay maximizethe amountof moneyit makesby damagingthe environmentandhurting people.When government regulation iseffective,and the public isenvironmentally aware,environmentally cleanbig businessesmay out-compete dirtyones,but thereverse islikely to be trueifgovernment regulationis ineffectiveand the public doesntcare.It iseasy toblame abusiness forhelping itselfby hurtingother people.But blamingalone isunlikelyto producechange.It ignoresthe factthat businessesare notcharities butprofit-makingcompanies,and they are underobligation tomaximize profitsfor shareholdersby legalmeans.Our blamingof businessesalso ignoresthe ultimateresponsibility of the publicfor creatingtheconditions thatlet abusiness profitthrough destructiveenvironmental policies.In thelong run,it is thepublic,either directlyor throughits politicians,that hasthe powertomakesuch destructivepoliciesunprofitable andillegal,and tomake sustainableenvironmental policiesprofitable.The publiccan dothat byaccusing businessesof harmingthem.The publicmay alsomake theiropinionfelt bychoosing tobuy sustainablyharvested products;by preferringtheir governmentsto awardvaluablecontracts tobusinesses witha good environmental trackrecord;and bypressing theirgovernmentsto passand enforcelaws andregulations requiringgoodenvironmental practices.In turn,big businessescan exertpowerful pressureon anysuppliers thatmight ignorepublic orgovernmentpressure.For instance,afterthe US publicbecame concernedabout thespread ofa disease,transmitted tohumans throughinfected meat,theUSgovernment introducedrules demandingthat themeatindustry abandonpractices associatedwith therisk of the diseasespreading.But the meat packersrefusedto followthese,claiming that they wouldbe tooexpensive toobey.However,when afast-foodcompany madethe samedemands aftercustomer purchasesof itshamburgers dropped,themeatindustryfollowed immediately.The publicstask istherefore toidentify whichlinks inthe supplychain aresensitiveto publicpressure.Some readersmay bedisappointed oroutraged that I placethe ultimateresponsibility forbusinesspractices harmingthepublicon thepublic itself.I alsobelieve thatthepublicmust acceptthe necessityforhigher pricesfor productsto coverthe addedcosts ofsound environmentalpractices.My viewsmayseem toignore thebelief thatbusinesses shouldact inaccordance withmoral principleseven ifthis leadstoa reductionin theirprofits.But Ithink we havetorecognize that,throughout humanhistory,governmentregulationhas arisenprecisely becauseit wasfound thatnot onlydid moralprinciples needtobe madeexplicit,they alsoneeded tobe enforced.My conclusionis nota moralisticone aboutwho isright orwrong,admirable orselfish.I believethatchanges inpublic attitudesare essentialfor changes in businesses,environmentalpractices.
