I think the basis answer to this question is that people should try not to live at, businesses should not profit at, and governments should not obtain power at the expense of others. Capitalism is about competition and this is necessary to have for an econnomy. However, we should be moral enough to think about how our lifestyles, businesses, and governments affect the world and its people. We should try to uphold an honorable life and living, while also taking action to ensure others do as well.
People should- Do the research to discover which businesses profit from unfair business practices, and don’t support them. They should donate money that don’t really need to help others that immediately in need and with governments that aren’t doing anything. They should take action and spread awareness about unfair governments and businesses.
Governments- Need to be less corrupt and the world needs to hold them accountable.
Businesses- Should be given the chance to expand into the developing world but need to have regulations imposed on them to curb their unfair practices.
The U.N. or something needs to be stronger in order to be the global watchdog of these three things.
I guess what it comes down to is striving to do good yourself and striving to ensure the rest of the world does as well.
