@EmadIqbal2 Well this analogy isn't consistent with the cave allegory. There will be no harm if the one who has seen the light does not speak the truth. However, in your case, there is harm to the one that isn't being told the truth. #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

How can we know where the light is? Where do we look to find the truth? Is it in education? #BSE18

@aya_domi @ProfessorDEG Same here! Thank you for lighting up 3/7 of my mornings @ProfessorDEG! Idk if this is a substantial tweet but brownie points are always good 😜👌#BSE18

@EmadIqbal2 What makes it a duty? If I choose to not act, what harm will it bring to those in the cave? #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@OMElSaka @EmadIqbal2 I believe there are multiple truths, but there is only one path to these truths (if we are continuing this metaphor then the one path must split at the truths). This one path can only be tread on by those who genuinely seek the truth. #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@bseburner @OMElSaka What would be a fair split in that scenario? When does it become unfair? I think the common consensus is that the higher you climb up the hierarchy, the more you should get paid. But how much more? That is the real question. #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@bseburner It is a good simplified model to show how trust can be beneficial for both parties. #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@Shireen1114 @SaiqalAl Couldn't one argue that it the advertisement is using hyperbole as a stylistic device? Of course Fair & Lovely don't actually think that becoming white will make you a movie star. Maybe they wanted it to be funny? #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

Here is an example: there is a UAE owned building in the Corniche that has been sitting there since the blockade, unfinished. No one is responsible for it, and no one can do anything about it. Where is the accountability in all of this? (2/2)#BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

I think part of the problem with Qatar's economy is that it is growing too fast. It is a nation that is being built by one party for another. The risk of this is that the work put in is not concerned with the long term. (1/2)#BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@EmadIqbal2 @kaabi_maha Very true. The concerns for Qatarization are valid, but there is a major pitfall when it comes to expatriate work quality. There is a substantial difference in mindset between working for the nation and working in a nation. #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

If banks weren't made to make profit, how should we measure the success of a bank? Prof. Farooqi mentioned reputation a lot in class, but what classifies a bank as having a good reputation? #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@mBSE18 @ANoor98123 @OMElSaka @_Cantzon_ @r5678910 @bseburner Good point. They want people to associate their product with "good". However, their product is to "whiten skin". Therefore, whitened skin = good. Tricky. #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@aya_domi This would most likely lead to 2 problems: 1) the quality of CSR will be pretty low since it is an external requirement and 2) how could you enforce CSR? What constitutes CSR? #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@EmadIqbal2 I don't think I can trust you on this one. Why is trust necessary for an economy? Wouldn't an economy with a foundation of self-interest/prudence still function? #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

@EmadIqbal2 The migrant workers are passive victims to the systematic injustices. Couldn't you argue that both of your categorization of the workers are true? #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

The further we get into this unit, the more I come to realize that business is more connected to society than I previously thought. Business isn't just a bunch of power-crazed CEOs trying to make more money. #bse18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

Or is it not Qatar's responsibility? One could argue that the corruption stems from the local nation. #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

Not to be controversial or anything (but I am being controversial) here is what the CIA World Factbook has to say about Qatar's "Transnational Issues". #BSE18

[SamerAlAni @samer_ani]

Let's assume that Qatar has this reputation worldwide. As a nation, what should Qatar do to alleviate this problem? Should the state provide for foreign labor? If so, how much? #BSE18
