# 1Because the poor can not get their basic needs for life, they cannot improve their well-being; therefore, our society as a whole cannot efficiently move in new directions. Studies by the International Center for Eradicating Poverty show that in third world countries the primary cause of poverty stems from the effects of natural disasters, the lack of uniform infrastructure, corruption, centralized government power, lack of knowledge, employment skills, education and resources.…

Nowadays the concept of sustainability is widely recognized in many corporations, organizations, government sectors and even in school or university. From my opinion, Sustainability is needed on a global (macro) scale, on macro-micro scale (government, NGO’s and business) and also on an individual level. The causes are: Greed and rent seeking, scarcity of resources, misuse of power, wrong moral and ethical standards. The Effects are: Climate change, rising inequality in almost all parts of the world (GINI Index), consumerism, corruption, abuse of ecosystems, etc.. Civil societies, governments and some businesses are asking for change and the creation of a “balanced social justice”. In case of abuse of social justice by one of the three major “participants” of the system (business, governments, NGOs), a vicious circle will occur and the organism is doomed to fail.…

There are reasons as to why people making decisions knowing full well that it is unethical. People do that because the unethical choice is the easier option and it may be more beneficial to one’s own interests. The article made clear that people are good natured, but we are all capable of making unethical decisions, the authors wrote, ” These researchers have concluded is that most of us are capable of behaving in profoundly unethical ways. And not only are we capable of it without realizing it, we do it all the time.” While everyone knows right from wrong it is inevitable that unethical decisions are made more often than one may think.…
