I was watching a film during the summer – a legally (or at least they claimed it was) streamed film downloadable from various P2P sites. Titled ‘Yes Man Fix The World‘, two American men set out to literally ‘fix the world’ – or at least the business and financial world – who’ve shown a huge (the word ‘huge’ is in itself a grand understatement) of sympathy for society beyond business walls. The movie basically runs on the concept that businesses have cyclically continued to exploit communities in exchange for profit, even at the communities’ expense. And the one case that the movie specifically covered in more depth was the Bhopal Incident case, which happened in Bhopal India roughly 26 years ago..
The Bhopal Incident (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Bhopal-Gas-Tragedy-Endless-nightmare/articleshow/5294330.cms) is literally the world’s worst industrial catastrophe to have occured thus far in history; not many incidences get to earn that as a title.
No compensation has been given to the victims of said incident, despite a horrifically enormous range between 4000-15000 deaths, and over 550000 injuries – which include permanent disabilities.
Thus, the question is when will the compensation be paid, Dow Chemical Company? What happened to Business Ethics?
