THE EVERYDAY MORALITY OF FOOD

This is an opportunity to take part in an international research project comparing “moral balancing” in every day life among college students.
Begun in 2010 at Indiana University, this project is now open for extension to any other institutions around the world. Students are asked to write an essay of 300 to 900 words as a take-home assignment reflecting on their eating. The project promises an innovative new way of understanding why students make particular choices, and how food fits into their everyday moral Compass. Participants will become co-authors on any resulting publications.

SHAME THE RICH

Shaming has worked in thousands of human cultures to control individual behavior which is damaging to the group. Currently, the world economy hosts hundreds of billionaires, people who own and control amounts of wealth equal to that of the poorest 50% of the world’s population. How can we expect normal people to change their behavior and make sacrifices for sustainability while the super rich continue to fly personal fleets of airplanes, enjoy dozens of large homes and properties, and grow richer off their wealth?

If you’re interested in considering and/or using the power of the Internet to shame the super rich let us know.
