Big Organic and Enron

After reading Big Organic and thinking the relationship between Enron and the reading, I found that it is interesting to think from Enron's Rise to the fall. This can related to many things from what we learned in Ishmael.
First connection is in Ishmael, we know about the mother culture, mother nature, takers, and leavers. I think Enron is like the takers. Enron started pretty normal. However, the leader of the company become more and more greedier, at the end Enron is billions in dept. At last it collapse. Looking from this big picture, Enron is takers. Takers have their own mother culture. the mother culture we have was to gain money so we can have great life and that is what our dream is. That become a motive for Enron to try to gain more money. At last Enron collapsed because it is like leaver fighting back.
From my perspective this is how quotes "everything eventually morphs into the way the world is." and ".....conform the irregularity of nature to the precision and control of a machine." fit in and connect with Enron.

Another point is about how organic foods became a business now. I think this relate this to Enron is that many things started with a normal, naive, good view but at the end it become blurred. Organic food was good but at last Organic food is more of business in it. This is same as Enron. Enron started normally, however at the end it collapse because of their greediness.

In conclusion, what I have pointed out the problem is not only pointing Enron. This is pointing how our mother culture is and how similar we are to Enron.

SHOCK! New look of Organic

I was shocked these recent days in global ethics class. This shock started from the sustainable/environment friendly businesses presentation. The shock was not from how much sustainable and environment friendly businesses in the world; it is from how indefinite our society is.
Theoretically, organic is a good product and that is what I believe at beginning. However, as I knew more and learned more in Global Ethic class, I found out that this can be a method of selling product because organic can be slogan. This sounds like lie but truthfully, it's not a lie because there are many varied definitions that define "organic". After watch the film- The end of Suburbia, I have a similar feeling of these "Organic" slogans. the relation between the film and the reading is that I feel sad about our human always being captivated by a trend. However, the trend that I mean is not really a trend; it is like fashion. According to Ishmael," we always do what we have being told from mother culture.." and according to The end of Suburbia, "we live in dream...American dream.". This trend/ fashion is like a little culture that we followed. In Taiwan, same things but with different background happened again. I feel that most of Taiwanese have these kind culture that captivated us and it is in many different categories such as politics, showbiz, and clothing...etc.
For example, recent news and from what I experienced-people were afraid and do not buy milk because of the China's contaminated-milk incident.One day, Amy and I was chatting with a middle aged housewife at community service. The housewife said that she does not want to buy milk because of the poisoned-milk incident.
The wife is one of the people that is captivated by the trend. How? Why? If the milk is contaminated then many things should already be contaminated too because there is a lot of interconnection between foods. If milk is harmful then butter is harmful and we should be aware of what food we are buying if milk is harmful. For example, maybe those milk company sell their contaminated milk powder to pig meat company then those pig will be bad too.
In conclusion, I want to say is that organic can be another culture that keep us captivated. What I feel is that in a perspective organic food is good but the good is questionable in other perspective because thing tend to emphasize their good and left out the bad things.
