Finally, the government plays a role in ensuring that businesses are socially responsible.  In fact, government is our biggest business. The government oversees protection activites, regulation, and provides public assistance.  Students created websites on two ways the government is involved in protecting consumers: through the protection of intellectual property & unfair business practices.
