Westminster’s business class’ latest guest speaker was Mr. Sleeting. Mr. Sleeting’s business background varies from military to corporate finance. He currently works with Mr.Chapman in a small business that offers financial advisement.
His discussion stemmed from the question of “What is not a business?” The class was stretched to first classify the qualifications of a business. Through questions of ethics, the purpose of the business world was steadily unveiled.
After noting what, in fact, is a business, the initial question of, what is not a business, proved to be the most challenging. The only remaining societal non-business is the government. This new discovery proposed a different issue: should the government continue to be run by non business standards? If in fact the government became like a business, would governmental concerns, such as taxes, remain as they are?
