During our class discussions of the AIDS in Africa and the NIKE cases, we sought to define actionable principled arguments in favor of "doing the right thing", whether ethical sourcing in Bangladesh and indonesia, or addressing the AIDS crisis in Africa.
We'll have more discussions on fair trade, sustainability and climate change.
How can we reconcile the freedoms necessary for a vibrant, enterprising economy that can provide for the needs and wants of an ever growing world population, with the understable desire that is also be fair, just and sustainable?
What are the key challenges to reconciling the conflicting interests of the various stakeholders?
Who should decide? can this be done democratically?
Be mindful of the biggest problems I noticed in many of your midterms (what popped in my mind in paranthesis)
1. Too many sentences that didn't really mean anything ("What are you saying?")
2. Too many sentences that lacked a clear subject or purpose.("Why are you saying this?")
3. Too many random transitions ("Where does this come from?")
4. Too many words used incorrectly, without knowing their meaning ("What does this mean?")
5. Too many random sources for topics that I have hard-boiled in class ("where you in my class at all?")
Planning before you write should help you avoid most of these pitfalls.
