benevolence and beneficence

Many problems in business ethics involve questions about the obligations and motives of beneficence. Diverse examples are obligations to protect Internet users from obscene materials, responsibilities for human subjects in pharmaceutical research, paternalistic policies of consumer protection, government actions to control markets in the public interest, policies to improve the welfare of farm animals, benefit packages for employees, ideals of corporate philanthropy, obligations for poverty-related ill health, programs to benefit children and the incompetent, preferential hiring policies, and many environmental protection programs.
