@rzbandz @MatthewKurtP @Crab__Mentality @MFleik @abaker093 @DavidOo999 @kierstenmojica @No39544540 It can also be something that keeps you chained down to not living a life you think is good. Securing money can be so hard to do in todays times. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@ashacharles14 I 100% agree. I’m all for living in a society, but when that society is not transparent about certain things it can be frustrating. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

I’m curious to know what people think really stood out to them in the class, or what they think they’ll carry on with themselves. #SP22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@haydanbloomberg @rzbandz @DavidOo999 True. At the end of the day you’re working for a business. And that business has to stay afloat. I think the only thing that could possibly be unethical is how they let you go. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@Philosophy1317 @dairyqweenfan @haydanbloomberg @kierstenmojica @NicoleB2017 @barco_christina @StonyUB So true. But I also think their system is so cohesive that it makes it appealing to stay with them and buy products from them in the future. #sp22

@James20538875 @Crab__Mentality @GabiEwbank @No39544540 I think ideally, yes. But it is a complex matter of the economy that is not easily controlled on a smaller level. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@haydanbloomberg @rzbandz @Crab__Mentality @James20538875 @MFleik @abaker093 @DavidOo999 @kierstenmojica @No39544540 Totally true. And furthermore, you can’t blame them for it. It’s just a result of the society we live in. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@James20538875 @rzbandz @StonyUB I mean do you not need to eat because you’re not hungry? Or workout because you’re tired? Just because one option is possible in some scenario doesn’t mean it’s applicable to all or the best option. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@StonyUB I agree because it is just a part of the evolution of technology. We are in such a late phase of the adoption process that if someone were to not have a smart phone, they would be at a severe disadvantage. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@rzbandz Alongside the “blame game”, it is nearly impossible to say someone is completely at fault for something because you can’t know their intentions or reasoning behind a certain decision. Blaming individuals is complex and not helpful to solving an issue. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@No39544540 For all their trouble and risk, it’s only fair they take a cut of the money. Market rates aren’t largely variable either, so if there is a discrepancy, it’s most likely a regulation problem. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@No39544540 I definitely think there are bad landlords out there, but their job is to take care of houses/buildings where people live. This costs money. They also take the upfront cost/ commitment away from someone who does not or is not able to buy their own property. (1/2) #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@DavidOo999 It is incredibly hard to fix and increase wealth when starting from such a disadvantaged spot. The blame game can only be so useful (and not very). A very little bit of help from the government can mean so much for them. #SP22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@dairyqweenfan I guess I don’t think people in poverty have a “right” to things, but we do live in a society so the government should help them as best they can. Ensuring the well-being of citizens is one of their main jobs. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@StonyUB But isn’t this exactly like what we talked about in class - the blame game will just go on and on. I think it takes individuals to step up and lead the cause, but not point fingers at people. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@ashacharles14 I totally had forgotten about this until you brought it up. So disheartening that leaders of our country are saying things like this. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@DavidOo999 It is interesting to think about the weight of accountability we have as consumers vs. of those who decided and created the products. Id at least say it’s a much hard choice for us to make in buying something else than for those in charge who could make différente choices. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@SHSP99 There are ethical brands out there, though. Even though the price tag may be higher, it often can save money in the long run if you don’t have to keep buying new clothes to keep up with trends or badly made pieces. #sp22

[Ellen Cross @ellen3cross]

@SHSP99 I mean the harm that it perpetuates is bad. I guess the amount of personal responsibility just depends on how you believe in the choices you have. Accountability, variance of choice, etc. #sp22
