In America this is the biggest shopping day in the entire year, known as Black Friday, which sounds dire, but eviden
3、tly derives from the fact that storekeepers lose money all year and this is the first day in which they finally get into the black which means to make money. Some stores also call it Green Friday. Its the biggest day of the year for retailers, when shopkeepers can measure what their take is going to
4、 be this year, and the holiday spirit flows as fast as the cash registers can ring it up. Gifts, decorations, candy and magazines disappear quickly, and woe to the retailer who doesnt have as much in stock as the consumers want. “Buy it now“ is the phrase of the day-and people have been doing just t
5、hat for years, egged on by the industry that begins advertising and decorating earlier and more elaborately each year. This is about waste, conspicuous and excessive consumption and being manipulated by advertising to spend more than we have on things we dont need-all ideas we support and promote. W
6、hat shall we do? Then along comes something like International Buy Nothing Day, a day when people around the world pledge to themselves to buy absolutely nothing for 24 hours. Always a day later than the US Thanksgiving day in most nations, there are activities, celebrations and demonstrations of va
7、rious kinds against over-consumption. People are encouraged to not make any purchases throughout the entire day. The idea is to increase participants awareness of their spending habits and to think about mass consumerism and its effect on the cultural and natural environment of the world. The famous
8、 (or infamous, depending on your point of view) Adbusters Magazine and the first Buy Nothing Day were both started by a man named Kalle Lasn, an advertising executive turned anti-consumerist activist. He produced the ad that the networks wouldnt run. He tried to buy air time for it over and over, bu
9、t was turned down, with remarks to the effect that “theres no law that we have to“ and “its in opposition to the current economic policy of the United States.“ But we do have TV ads. The Buy Nothing Day TV ads of USA tell us: “Leave your wallet at home and celebrate Buy Nothing Day, the annual revol

11、s live.“ “Give it a rest on Buy Nothing Day.“ But at TWHQ (Treehugger World Headquarters) people were seriously conflicted about the idea of Buy Nothing Day members spend their time promoting eco-retailers and designers who need customers, not boycotts. Eire said, “Black Friday is also an important
12、day for our eco-gift maker friends. The holidays are the time when they get to show their stuff and make the money they need to get through another year of competing in this crazy Walmarket. We have put a lot of energy into the gift guide and so have the awesome vendors who sent us stuff to help pro
13、mote eco-friendly holidays to the press. I think they deserve our support this time of year, with gift guides and other promotion that we can offer.“ Some people suggest: “Buy Nothing Day“ is about rampant consumption of over packaged, blister wrapped rubbish. We should not be one dimensional about
14、this. Which is better for the planet? A. For one day nobody buys anything (next day they hop in the car and head off to the mall as normal) or B. Everybody buys a bicycle on that day. How to expand the message: Buy Nothing Day? People at TWHQ suggest: buy something from store unwrapped, environmenta

16、ives to Buying Nothing that are equally positive and almost as cheap. Things like cutting up credit cards and dropping huge “buy nothing“ banners across shopping mails have frightened and angered some retailers. CBS, ABC and NBC refuse still to air ads promoting Buy Nothing Day. (A talking pig and a
17、 map of North America seemed to be offensive.) If you believe that people have the right to make decisions based on information instead of propaganda; if you believe that over-consumption is selfish; if you believe that shopping can become a compulsive disorder and if you believe that it is the vehi
18、cle for getting one deeper and deeper in debt, then please do participate. Its easy. Simply stay home, buy nothing at all. Dont go shopping. Dont buy anything. If you work, take your lunch instead of buying it. Take a snack if you usually buy one, a thermos of coffee, a thermos of tea. If you can, w

More than that, show your support by finding an activity that suits you. Stand behind those who would blow the whistle on

41、分数：177.00)Amitai Etzioni is not surprised by the latest headings about scheming corporate crooks (骗子).As a visiting professor at the Harvard Business School in 1989, he ended his work there disgusted with his students overwhelming lust for money. “Theyre taught that profit is all that matters, “ he
42、says. “Many schools dont even offer ethics(伦理学) courses at all.“ Etzioni expressed his frustration about the interests of his graduate students. “By and large, I clearly had not found a way to help classes full of MBAs see that there is more to life than money, power, fame and self-interest, “he wro
43、te at the time. Today he still takes the blame for not educating these “business-leaders-to-be.“ “I really feel like I failed them,“ he says, “If I was a better teacher maybe I could have reached them“. Etzioni was a respected ethics expert when he arrived at Harvard. He hoped his work at the univer
44、sity would give him insight into how questions of morality could be applied to places where self-interest flourished. What he found wasnt encouraging. Those would-be executives had, says Etzioni, little interest in concepts of ethics and morality in the boardroom and their professor was met with bla
45、nk stares when he urged his students to see business in new and different ways. Etzioni sees the experience at Harvard as an eye-opening one and says theres much about business schools that hed like to change. “A lot of the faculty teaching business are bad news themselves.“ Etzioni says. From offer
46、ing classes that teach students how to legally manipulate contracts, to reinforcing the notion of profit over community interests, Etzioni has seen a lot thats left him shaking his head. And because of what hes seen taught in business schools, hes not surprised by the latest rash of corporate scandals. “In many ways things have got a lot worse at business schools, I suspect,“ says Etzioni. Etzioni is still teaching the sociology of right and wrong and still calling for ethical business leadership. “People wit
