The crux of the matter lies in the timely exposure of the alleged abuses. Many people will, given the knowlege and power to do so, avoid doing business with companies they find morally reprehensible. For example, I always prefer to buy from a company that operates completely within the US as opposed to ones that manufacture in Indonesia or China because its often impossible to uncover abusive labor practices in those places. You can't ignore plain middle class apathy though, I doubt that a big enough chunk of WalMart shoppers would boycott them due to unfair business. Many people just don't care anymore. Put everything together and unethical business can be easily whitewashed with a good enough PR campaign and media control.

If someone is unethical they will practice unethical business regardless of the existence of laws regarding said business or not.
Again and forever, a bar, business or restaurant is not public property... it is privately owned property, in regards to the smoking issue. The state has no place dictating what an owner wants done on his, or her, own property. If you don't like smoke, don't shop there... go to a non-smoking business. |
