Over the course of the movie, Seth begins to wonder how such a small brokerage house can afford to pay its brokers such high commission rates. As he digs deeper into the organizations stock sales, he begins to uncover the truths behind JT Marlin. This causes for an ethical dilemma in Seth's life, as he struggles with continuing to go to work everyday and selling his phony stocks to the public. This is a very accurate description of personal gain and self interest, an ethical dilemma that the text book discusses. The firm is comprised of ethical egoists, as they all put their own selfish interests above all other considerations, and ignoring the ethical beliefs of others. Regardless of whether or not they know as much about the company and Seth, the brokers continually engage in persuasive and aggressive selling techniques, as they attempt to mislead those who are investing in their company. This blatant disregard for others illustrates the lack of social responsibility that the characters illustrate throughout the film.
Throughout the film, Seth and the rest of the brokers working at the JT Marlin firm show a complete detachment towards society and their social responsibility. Many of the brokers questioned why they were able to receive the commission they did off stock sales, but none of them wanted to challenge the system that was paying them extremely well. The text describes social responsibility as an idea that businesses/individuals are accountable for their actions and should seek socially beneficial results as well as economically beneficial results. Even though most of the brokers did not know that they were selling phony stocks, they were aware of the company's policies surrounding the sell of stock. For those brokers who were aware or questioned company policy, they were monetarily driven, and worried about their greater good, rather than that of society. As Jim Young (Ben Affleck) said in the movie, "Anyone who says that money is the root to all evil doesn't have it.
