Is profit always a good thing?

Well, you have to remember, if there is no profit there is no business. Businesses must make a profit in order to survive. In this sense profit is good. That being said, businesses should show social responsibility, and should be held accountable for what they sell and how they sell it. In this sense, profit made through means that hurt society or the individuals within a society (to include employees as well as customers) should be noted as not good.
