## Vocabulary

This lesson introduces essential expressions for discussing business ethics, such as learning to **vote with your wallet** to influence company behaviour. You’ll also practise phrases like **to walk the talk**, **to face backlash**, and understanding when a company might just be **paying lip service to a cause**, rather than truly acting on it. Finally, we look at how company actions **align with someone's values**.

## Discussion

The lesson culminates in a stimulating discussion where you can share your opinions on corporate responsibility and ethical consumerism. You'll have the opportunity to apply the new vocabulary and express your views on whether businesses should actively engage in social and political issues.
