How can employees demand ethical behavior from their corporation?
As I posted before, the employees are most important to control the corporation to act ethical. They demand the ethical behavior by some ways; softly they can propose some ethical decision or make break to persuade the corporation in hard way.
1. What does the statement "all capitalism is crony capitalism" is referring to? Do you agree with this statement or not? Give an example.
"all capitalism is crony capitalism" is referring to the relationship between a corporation which want to get a exclusive information and media which has the information or government.
I agree with the statement, as I know asian countries like Korea, Japan, India.. have some companies which got advantage for he distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth. These companies did robbies to the government officers and politicions for taking the advantages and now days they also do the same thing with media which is most powerfull these days. For example, some tv channel only broadcast movies or musics and these channels are suported by a corporation and the TV channels make program which usally has effect to make viewers think positive to the corporations.
2. What is a Banana Republic? Why the author is comparing India with a Banana Republic?
Banana republic is a pejorative term that refers to a politically unstable country dependent upon limited agriculture, and ruled by a small, self-elected, wealthy, corrupt politico-economic plutocracy. the author compared india with banana republic because India has high level of corruption, and some negative aspects which is common with banana republic.
3. Why is it problematic that in the business world "The Media" becomes a corporation?
The media are more like public sector so as I mentioned before if a corporation which only concern about profits rule the media, it would problematic because they only focus on the use of the media for make people manipulated by corporation.
4. In this situation, what behaviors are considered unethical for corporations, journalist and the state?
The corporation did unethical behavior by buying the officers of the state and journalist lost thier role by forgeting ther honesty and finally the state corrupted.
5. What can Media, Corporations and the States do in order to behave ethically and in the benefit of the people and not their own interest. Give at least 5 good ideas.
The media need to be keep away from the private sector
People check the media for their own job
Corporations act as a long-term entity
States make strong law for corruption
Make the values for nomal people.
