Pause and reflect pg 498Issue “ to what extent can real change towards sustainable development take place from within
a capitalist organization?”
Perspective 1 Perspective 2
Business does anything to appear responsive to consumers so greenwashing is simply a way to make business seem like they are changing their practices therefore are contributing to resolving global issue
Any effort that a business makes that balances consumer needs and wants with environmental sustainability using free-market principles to contribute to addressing issues is helpful and will raise the consciousness of consumers regarding the issue.

RwandaRead page Acting Accordingly & pg 499Burke and Power both suggest that if individuals
sit by and do nothing evil will triumph (Rwanda).Both suggest that views about citizenship will
determine one’s willingness to take action and shape that action.
Both believe that taking action is central to countering evil or wrong-doing.
Civil society requires citizens to be both informed and to take action.
Can you think of any other events where citizens have sat by and allowed atrocities to occur?

What is the role of citizenship in this quote?
“Indifference is actually the mainspring of history. But in a negative sense. What comes to pass, either the evil that afflicts everyone, or the possible good brought about by an act of general valour, is due not so much to the initiative of the active few, as to the indifference, the absenteeism of the many.
What comes to pass does so not so much because a few people want it to happen, as because the mass of citizens abdicate their responsibility and let things be.
They allow the knots to form that in time only a sword will be able to cut through; they let men rise to power whom in time only a mutiny will overthrow”
Antonio Gramsci, Avnanti, August, 1916

Reflecting on citizenshipTo what extent is it important to make responsible and active decisions that respect the principles of liberalism when living in a liberal democratic society?Types of responsibilitiesDuties and obligations: things we do out of requirement: a position, social custom, law, or religion; an action we take based on a social legal, or moral requirementTaking action: contributions we make because we feel we must for the greater good.
![Page 33: Reflecting on Ideology, Action, and citizenship](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168ab550346895ddf5390/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CitizenshipCitizenship is based on doing
things we believe we must do. They are actions based on individual commitments, not simply duties or obligations.
![Page 34: Reflecting on Ideology, Action, and citizenship](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168ab550346895ddf5390/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Pressure groups usually represent producers or business not the consumer or small social groups.

Actionsare based on our beliefs and
values, and are shaped by our worldview.
When we believe we must do something, we do it based more or less on the strength of our beliefs.
If we are successful, then we believe we have made our community or world a better place.
![Page 36: Reflecting on Ideology, Action, and citizenship](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168ab550346895ddf5390/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The reasons it is important to make choices and act responsibly and thoughtfully in a liberal democratic society may include:
Prevent the usurpation of power by elites or the government
Ensure your voice is heardContribute to the range of solutions for issuesRole of civil society is to counter contending power of
business / governmentIssues are complex and require in-depth understanding to
determine solutionsIf individuals remain complacent and fail to take action,
others will take action and the result may not be desirableAction can impact your daily life- it can make your
community a safer, healthier, more desirable place to live.
