What I have learned from today class: Social media and cooperation!
It was wonderful class
discussion about social media and big corporation. There were an arguments
about freedom on chose on what we eat,
drink ......................against corporation responsibility for what they produce to consumers. Some of my colleagues had this idea of individual freedom of chose equal to cooperation freedom,
so they concluded that cooperation can produce
any type of product and service that's fit for their profit in a free market system because it's up to the consumer to busy it or not . In other way, supplier
has little or nothing to do with product and service quality intermes of general public safety because their main goal is to make profit. Thus, social
media should support these cause for corporation to sell their product and
service, and consumer to chose among these bad products( freedom of chose).
The other my favorite argument was, social media can be used as a tool for fighting cooperation to be responsible
for what they produce to consumer, and there must be moral
and legal obligation to corporation who
produce good and service for general public. if, for example, I want to open bakery
that's unhealthy for people , I should
not be allowed to go out in the free market and compete to sell my product. 
Seeing as our natural instinct is to look out for only ourselves first and have our needs - and wants once those are - met, most people do not have social and environmental responsibility on their minds very much, if at all. That is why those who are passionate about these kind of responsibilities should do as much about it as they can rather than just complain that others, especially corporations, are not doing anything. With "new media" aka mostly social media there is no excuse for them to get their views out to hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of other people.
