                    <description><![CDATA[I've just finished reading Joel Bakan's 'The Corporation' and I absolutely loved it. The book discusses the pressing issue of corporate power in america and its implications on the environment, democracy and the human social condition. Bakan notes the primary fault in the corporate design is that the corporation's primary and only obligation is to the bottom line, and that it's in fact illegal for officers of a corporation to act in a socially responsible way if it hurts the bottom line. I want to know if anyone out there sees a solution in sight for corporate greed and irresponsibility.  ]]></description>

                    <title>What is the value of non-scholarly references?</title> 
                    <link>http://dangerpowers33.tigblog.org/post/37661</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[This is my first semester at university and I'm sure like others I'm finding some things very difficult. One arguement I am constantly having with my professors and tutors is over non-scholarly references. They pine and complain about references like wiki-pedia telling us they are terrible and to never use them for anything, but I just cant buy it. In our glorious age of information sharing does a masters degree really give your thoughts that much more value? Think about the amazing database of information contained in Takingitglobal, all of it according to my professors at least worthless because its not listed in a horribly boring scholarly journal that no one will ever read. what do you see as the future of higher education in a world in which information is so readily available at virtually no cost? ]]></description>

                    <title>Food as Celebration</title> 
                    <link>http://dangerpowers33.tigblog.org/post/25846</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[When I was 11 I moved to the US with my family. It was sad to leave friends and family behind but to an 11 year old America is pretty exciting. You know the saying everything is bigger in America; it’s true! The billboards, the cars, the food; but not everything is better in the US. I learned very quickly when I arrived in the US that Americans don’t celebrate food. I’ve been to 6 continents and everywhere I go besides the US food is the subject of celebration. Every meal is an event. I found this very weird of Americans that they don’t have meals like everyone else. When they are hungry they just drive up to the drive thru window at McDonald’s as if they were cars lining up for gasoline. Food is just a means of nourishment for Americans. Every meal my mother would call us to the table and as a family we would all sit together and enjoy a wholesome home cooked meal. My mother takes great pride in her cooking and we all enjoy her food. More importantly the dining table is a place where the family can all come together and talk. We talk about school, work, and politics. I assumed when I was eleven that this was how all people ate, that this was how all families worked. I first learned else wise when I went over to a friend’s house for dinner. His mother cooked just as mine did but when it came time to serve the food it was just my friend and I. everyone else had already eaten. I sat there eating with my friend waiting for him to say something but he never did we just sat there and ate, no family, no lively discussion. I’ve lived in the US for six years now so I am more accustomed to the American culture than when I was younger. It no longer surprises me to see people sitting on the couch eating dinner watching television and not speaking. But whenever I am home I look forward to dinner with my family and not the television set. I hope that when I am older and have a family of my own. That I will be able to sit and eat with my family, enjoy their company, and enjoy life.  ]]></description>
