Ben argues that the company's only responsibility is to maximize profits (within legal and market parameters, of course), so AWA should simply deny any responsibility and resist change. Jeremiah argues that AWA should put up a legal fight and use a public relations campaign to avoid assuming additional responsibilities. Stacey can't accept either argument. She favors taking the initiative and establishing a positive role model for the aquarium industry. Stacey argues that AWA's actions should result in greater good than harm for the society of which they are a part. -Refer to Aqua-Wave Aquariums.
