The continuation on the discussion of corporations. As you can see from my last two blogs that there are good things that can be said about corporations as well as bad things. What i would like to get at now are the bias opinions that people put on all corporations according to some events that have taken place with other corporations. For instance, in the case of the corporation that I currently read about in the New York Times about a company who used diseal fuel as a part of a mixture in the drilling for natural gas. The fuel was leaking into fresh water systmes and caused a concern for safe water to drink from. Things like this from just a single corporation can make all others in the same work area look bad as well. This could cause people to think that all corporations are just out to make money and dont really care who they hurt or what they damage in the process. Although true in more cases than actually realized, this is not true for all corporations. This could also be viewed in the vice versa. Say a corporation who gives away lots of money or things to charities. People see the good things that come from these companies and want to buy from them in order to "help the cause". One example is companies who take "donations" to help other organizations who need funding and support to keep their campaighn alive and running. They put out change dishes, offer discounts, take donations, etc. Saying its all for a "good cause". But do we really know where these donations we give actually go to? Like i said before not all corporations are bad or do these kinds of things. Such as the Ronald McDonald Foundation which helps the St. Jude research facilities. Corporations have been known to decieve and use things like this just to make a quick, easy, and tax free dollar. Just another thing to consider thinking about. Do your reasearch before doing your next good deed, make sure its actually going to the right place.
