Responsibility not taught in business school 05 17 2010

They do not teach responsibility in business school. I can hear some of the hackles on the backs of your necks go up so bear with me for an explanation. Okay, quiet, quiet let me finish, no quiet, quiet I’m not done yet. Let me explain, I can’t get a word in edgewise.

1. For example, to effectively stand up to and end corruption would be a good mandatory class in business school. I hear the booing. Would we have the financial scandals that almost put our country in a depression if there were more whistleblowers? If we as investment banks were truly concerned with the welfare of this country instead of our own pocketbooks? Wouldn’t we have put the United States in a better competitive position as it led by example?

2. How about a mandatory course about maintaining a corporate culture that supports a clean environment. If all we concerned about is money and we pollute the lakes and oceans with mercury and exhaust emissions to the point where they cannot sustain a healthy fish population, have we really been good to ourselves and our country. Okay I didn’t convince you, some like to eat, drink and live in filth, as a right?

If responsibility were taught we would not have the problems we do today. Lobby groups that wear a righteous face. What bad policies regarding this amount to, is a created upper class of irresponsible cut throat gypsies. Only defined as upper class because they have more money, attained illegally. The movies they watch often fuel the perception of our culture they themselves try and achieve. The big movie culture, it teaches cut throat gypsy behavior. Some children probably only learn through watching movies. People from foreign countries watch this and it is like the English Exiles to Australia. Except they cannot get here quick enough to partake in the false perception of us and our future we created. Crime is glamorous and pays is what they learn and come here to till.

I have a feeling the reason responsibility is not taught, is because it requires and understanding of causality, if you were raised evil you will never want to address this because guilt is something you were never taught. It takes guilt to understand causality, and causality to understand and be responsibility. There is no other way. The heart of evil knows it is the cause to begin with and would lesson or defy itself to think as such. Bottom line, the tactics used to get ahead in the short run often end the future for all of us.

God Bless Those Who Think
