Corporate greed is about maximizing profits in any manner allowed, and then some. There is a lack of effective laws to control unethical business practices, or no will to enforce those that exist. Free enterprise needs an overhaul.
Credit enticements and rates gouging make the poor poorer. Marketing to kids: morally wrong yet progresses creatively and vigorously. Selling unhealthy foods which are cheaper to produce and more profitable.
Fine print advertisements and contracts that are too hard to understand. Inferior product quality that is often just no good but marketed aggressively. Sub-contracting production to hide unethical use of cheap or inhumane labor.
Merchandising environmentally unfriendly, wasteful or useless products. Shock entertainment and commercials sell, but soil social standards. Junk mail, trick labels, misleading advertising... Anyone content with the status quo must be doing ok by it.
I agree. People are quick on buzzwords and blaming 'the bankers' or 'evil corporations', but short on actual specifics and details. As for corporate greed, the people behind the whole mortgage derivatives that made the financial crisis worse than it should ever have been, should be tried, convicted and imprisoned.
Also the ones who made terrible decisions and got companies like the Lehman Brothers or Bear Stearns bankrupted, should pay some type of price. But I don't really think anyone else did anything that wrong.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
