START A DEBATE!

Respond to at least three of topics in your forum post dealing with Social, Ethical and Environmental Responsibility, such as:

  • Labor practices in developing countries - while some argue that paying workers pennies a day to manufacture goods for export actually benefits developing countries and their citizens, others feel that this practice is unfair.
  • Ownership of "commons'-some argue that natural resources such as water or air should be publicly-held (i.e., by governments and citizens), others argue that privatizing them (i.e., shifting ownership to private companies) will actually contribute more to their care and protection.
  • Advertising to children - while some argue that advertising to children is taking advantage of their lack of cognitive development, others feel it is fair game to help them satisfy needs and wants.
  • Social responsibility and accountability - some argue that corporations who do not act responsibly will be "punished by the market" (i.e., consumers will not make purchases if they act unethically), while others feel that governments or citizens should regulate industries and businesses.
  • Corporate involvement in government - some argue that corporations are legitimate stakeholders and citizens who are entitled to their say in the democratic process, while others feel that corporate involvement can lead to unfair influence.
  • Advertising and public space - Naomi Klein expressed concern that certain forms of advertising and promotions compromise public space, while others (specifically branding) are "invasive." Others feel that advertising is fair game, and even desirable to consumers.
  • Influence of corporations on society - some (Chomsky, Klein) have charged corporations, through years of advertising and public relations, with defining people's social roles as consumers and creating beliefs that corporations are responsible for prosperity. The concern is that people are disassociated from one another, and preoccupied with fulfilling needs and wants at the expense of democratic participation, human development, interaction, etc. Those who dispute this claim feel that it is either inaccurate, not a result of corporate actions, or both.

“Ownership of "commons”-Some argue that natural resources such as water or air should
be publicly-held (i.e., by governments and citizens), others argue that privatizing them (i.e.,
shifting ownership to private companies) will actually contribute more to their care and
protection.”

Concerning the topic on ownership of "commons" which has been debated over the years
regarding whether or not natural resources like waters should remain publicly held or be
privatized, I support the idea of privatization since it is the only solution to the "tragedy of
commons". With the rapid growth in population that has been experienced in past few decades
and the projected increase in the population growth rate in future, common goods will potentially
be exploited and depleted because of their non-excludable nature if nothing is done or rather if
they continue being publicly held. Privatization of public goods will help eliminate the free rider
problem, and it will introduce competition and thus improve efficiency.

The free rider problem arises from the no-excludability feature of public goods that
