Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Business should do anything they can to make a profit. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Nowadays, doing business is really stressful and competitive. As a result, many people have a tendency to do anything that are beneficial for them. However, I disagree with this. Instead, I think we should take other factors seriously when deciding to do business in order to avoid problematic situations and to protect the environment as well.

To begin with, although somethings are profitable, they may adversely affect the environment and people. They may even break the balance of ecology. For example, if a company makes a decision to erect its new factory near the residential areas regardless of the toxic vapors emitted into the environment, people’s health will decrease seriously. Although these locations are ideal to develop further, this company will be strongly criticized and even sued because of its negative action. Another example is that a company decided to make profit from utilizing the abundant forest source. Despite the fact that its logging will satisfy the demand of construction, the habitats of many features will be destroyed. What is more, soil erosion will be more likely to occur. Therefore, a company, when deciding to do its business, should consider whether it is harmful to people surroundings and other features. By doing this, it will reduce the risk of being sued and will have a greater chance to succeed.

Furthermore, life is unpredictable. If business are determined in making profit regardless of the risk they may confront, they will ruin instead of gaining profit. That is to say, they should take the probable consequences into account.

All in all, I believe that it is a fallacy for business to do anything to make a profit because there are somethings seeming advantageous for them, yet harmful to people surroundings and the environment. What is more, the ambition of earning money may decrease the consciousness to consider the probable outcome that may ruin the business. Being careful and conscious will result in success, included profit.
