Everything Wrong With the Puritans Nearly everyone can agree that the Puritans had some issues. They killed countless innocent people for ridiculous reasons‚ accused anybody different from them of being a witch‚ and were extremely strict about religion. Some Puritans even accused people they didn’t like of witchcraft just to get them executed. The Puritans that saw problems with this system were accused of being witches and hanged as well.

controversial and sensitive topics in current times.

In my view the statement ‘the social responsibility of business is to increase profit’ is true to a point‚ however‚ I believe a corporation’s responsibilities spread beyond just maximising profits. The ‘Narrow View’ argues that profit maximisation is the only objective for a business.
