BUGAS* When I started thinking about these remarks, I wondered what I might say that would be of interest to you. At first thought, it seemed that labor negotiations, union demands and strike votes were hardly the thing to talk about in Wyoming. After all, this is primarily cattle and sheep country. Industry and unions play a relatively small part in your affairs. But, after thinking about it a little, I realized I was wrong-and I knew what it was I wanted to say today. We Americans may have been doing too little thinking and talking about things, when they don't seem to affect us right here and now. Too often, we fail to notice that what may be the other fellow's problem today may very well turn out to be our problem tomorrow- magnified and complicated because we were unwilling to do anything about it when it first appeared.

  • Exploring the Meaning of Ethical Consumption: a Chinese Perspective
    EXPLORING THE MEANING OF ETHICAL CONSUMPTION: A CHINESE PERSPECTIVE Yan Huo A thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire in Accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Business School September 2016 Abstract The existing literature on ethical consumption is primarily developed from a Western perspective; those from other parts of the world remain under- represented. This study offers an authentic Chinese perspective of ethical consumption: revealing Chinese consumers’ responses to the Western notion of ethical consumption and describing their interpretations of ethical consumption in a Chinese context. A phenomenological approach was adopted to explore this Chinese perceptive through consumers’ lived life stories and experiences. Four focus groups and fourteen interviews were conducted to ‘make text’, thematic analysis, guided by a hermeneutic approach to interpretation, was then used to produce rich meanings. This study’s findings highlight the significance of traditional Chinese cultural virtues, and in particular, those attached to reconstructionist Confucianism. The outcomes illustrate that these traditional Chinese virtues are still deeply embedded in Chinese consumers, speaking through them and influencing their construction of the meanings of ethical consumption. Virtues such as harmony, thrift, being humble, trustworthiness, humanness and righteousness, loving one’s family and extending this love to others, are particularly relevant. This Chinese perspective of ethical consumption, therefore, can be viewed as ‘a bundle of virtues’. This bundle does not operate in a fixed order, but rather the elements interact with the external environment and thus the virtues used are influenced by specific situations to provide the basis for ‘ethical consumption’ in context.

    THE CIVIL RIGHTS CONGRESS OF MICHIGAN COLLECTION Papers, 1933-1963 (Predominantly, 1935-1955) 49.5 linear feet Accession Number 304 L.C. Number MS The papers of the Civil Rights Congress of Michigan were deposited in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in July of 1968 by Ernest Goodman and the Civil Rights Congress of Michigan and opened for research in 1979. Additional papers were placed in the Archives by Mr. Saul Wellman, former member of the Civil Rights Congress, in December of 1974 and opened for research in May of 1984. The Civil Rights Congress of Michigan was organized in 1935 as the Conference for the Protection of Civil Rights. Reverend J. H. Bollins was Chairman and Patrick O'Brien was counsel. They sup- ported labor in the early Ford and G.M. Strikes and also academic freedom. They opposed police brutality under Commissioner Pickert, the Dunckel-Baldwin Bill, censorship, the Black Legion and the Ku Klux Klan, fascism, and discrimination and attempted to take cases to court to get legal decisions on their issues. In this they were supported by other local groups such as the ACLU, AFL locals, the Young Democrats, the Professional League for Civil Rights, the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, and Methodist and Baptist churches. In about 19 38 the name of the group was changed to the Civil Rights Federation. J. H. Bollins continued as Chairman and Reverend Owen Knox of the Bethlehem Methodist Church became Treasurer. In 1940 Reverend Knox became Chairman of the CRF and also of the National Federation for Constitutional Liberties.
