In response to Colby Pooler's post

 I believe that it is possible to do both. There are many businesses out there that serve the community as well as creating revenue. An example of this would be the YMCA which manages to create a profit as well as educate the community on healthy living. There should be a 50/50 mix between wanting a profit and educating the public.

 

Disneys contradition

When the typical American thinks of Disney many positive feelings come to mind. Disney is considered the "happiest place in the world" by almost everyone, but many people do not see what is behind their operation. The public knows there are sweatshops and many multinational corporations use them to provide the products people demand for, but do they know that one of the "happiest places" which promotes an image of innocence and equality also uses the same means of production. Disney is seen as a beacon of happiness and hope, but the products that they provide are made by completely opposite means. Sweatshop workers labor day and night without overtime, days off, breaks, or decent pay to create the products that keep Disney looking a certain way to the public.

Do you think it is socially responsible to promote yourself in a positive light when in reality many things you do are socially irresponsible?
