Who knows what they've tried. I would like to believe that no one is without the capacity to change. To believe that people can be born destined to squander, destroy, and consume without providing is a worldview that I cannot conceive. I believe we are all products of our environments with varying levels of ability. When one of us fails it is a reflection of us all. When one of us succeeds it is likewise a reflection. To deny our interconnectedness and interdependence is to ignorantly absolve ourselves of responsibility to treat each other fairly, and kindly. Anything less is textbook antisocial behavior. [1] Yet, such behavior is celebrated across all demographics. No wonder vulnerable and poor people are despairing. antisocial behavior is rampant in our world. These behaviors effect everyone, though the weight of these assaults increases as someone's resources and support network decreases. If the definition of antisocial behavior sounds familiar its because the evidence of these mentally ill people are everywhere. Virtually every company wantonly engages in these behaviors. As companies are a sum of their resources and employees (assuming resources like cars and buildings aren't sentient) it must be the employees choosing to engage in these behaviors. Whether someone overtly chooses to engage in antisocial behavior, allows antisocial behaviors to occur without protest, or protests and fails these actions have a waterfall of consequences that we all bare. Should we continue to deny our collective responsibility we shall obviously continue to suffer the consequences of our failures to treat those around us kindly and fairly.
