Been thinking on this for awhile now. I think we need to name the age we are currently in, you know, like the bronze age, ect....
I am talking on more of a global scale now. even taking things into consideration like Kyoto agreement, customer service at you local wal-mart, the service you receive from you bank, social service agencies and government.
It seems no matter where you turn, nothing else matters except the all-mighty dollar. Not only is it how much money can a business or a corporation squeeze out of your cheqing account, or how much money can you, yourself dupe someone to buy your second hand product. It seems to me that consequences be damned is the popular thought. I just scammed that guy, or My client now owes us soo much money that he will never get out of debt and will be making intrest payments till he is 214 years old.
Now, i am not THAT old. going to be 29 in july, but I can still remember when i was a kid, that people or companies actually had the thought of weather or not a situation was workable for their client, or that a hand shake was as good as a signature on a piece of paper, and that there was corporate responsibility. Today, every i is dotted, every t is crossed, and all anyone cares about is themselves, and how can they take the most money from you, honestly or otherwise.
Now take a moment and look at yourself. Do you see yourself as someone who cares for your fellow man, and willing to make a little less money helping someone, or are you more of a survival of the fittest, and anyone outside your immediate family be damned!
