Control

13. January 2010 by admin.

Historically, there has never been a successful company that desired anything more than profit. To value a universal virtue such as freedom must have an ulterior motive. Censorship and the control of advertising media, then, become sensitive issues for the general public, for governments and companies alike. Large, multinational corporations such as Google, often make value-based statements rather than purely objective fiscal reports in their press releases. Corporations also actively practice censorship in order to protect their interests when there is a conflict between the terms of use and individual freedom.

If top multinational corporations were truly helpful in a utilitarian sense, they would be funding multi-million dollar ventures in providing a unifying platform for recycling and the sharing of reusable materials. On the balance sheets, the entries would not be labeled as “Goodwill” but rather “Long-term Operating Investments”. If multinational corporations were friendly, where were their presence in environmental summits? Companies will fund ventures that leads to their own long-term downfall and disintegration as long as it leads to short-term profits. Our global infrastructure is no exception. Someday we will see a new form of democracy and capitalism where human and financial capital is used to improve the lives of mankind rather than the pursuit of profits.
