Please answer question 4, 5and 6 Please help asap

We have come to recognize the legal obligation known as the Fiduciary Duty of Directors and Officers of a Corporation to their immediate stakeholders (namely - the shareholders). Additionally, Directors and Officers direct the activities of a Corporation within the legal framework within which they operate. Nevertheless, Corporations generally prefer to operate in a deregulated environment with less, as opposed to more, outside public or governmental scrutiny. In this Corporate environment, there has very recently and certainly more increasingly, developed a focus by Corporations to address non-economic issues that affect or might affect stakeholders - other than and in addition to a Corporation's shareholders. The manifestation of this focus has been characterized in relatively new terms, such as - Corporate Social Responsibility, Corporate Ethics, and Corporate Code of Conduct. Instructions: 1. Does it matter as to what the motives of a Corporation are in this regard? Regardless of motive, what if the initiatives taken are making a positive impact on a broader range of stakeholders. 2. Why are Corporations choosing to go down this road? 3. Aren't Corporations just trying to protect their brand and their reputation? And, if so, what's wrong with that? 4. "The Occupy Wall Street campaign (http://occupywallst.org/) was a success." Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? 5. After reading this case, what do you think were the main causes of the Financial Crisis? Has anything changed today? 6. How can a firm motivate salespeople who work on commission (as many mortgage brokers did in the run-up to the Financial Crisis) to sell products that are in their customers' interests rather than their own? Is this ethical or not? Does it contradict with the CSR principles
