In every country in the world, corporations think basically the same way, here in Lebanon, we expect the government and officials to hold those corporations accountable whereas it's up to the people as moral agents to make both their government and corporations accountable.
Don't be fooled by the Ottomans or any colonial entity Genius, they also destroyed many shrines and historical landmarks at the time and not only in Beirut. The French pretty much imported their own colonial architecture all over the world. |
Agree about the lack of ethics in corporations worldwide ... The only problem is that the owners of these corporations in Lebanon and other poor countries also run the country .. thats all, therefore no limit can be drawn to their hungry teeth ... they change the laws accordign to the corporations and not the other way around
I was being sarcastic about the ottomans !! however, some truth to it, m not sur we deserve any better ... I am not sure we have any better right now
