There has been a public outcry about the unethical practices of businesspeople.Public opinion polls show 58% of U.S. adults rate ethical standards of business executives as "fair" or "poor.” 90% think white-collar crime is "very common" or "somewhat common." 76% say the lack of ethics in businesspeople contributes to tumbling societal moral standards. 41% of 1,694 corporate employees in a recent survey stated that they were aware of ethical problems in their companies.

Of the billions of tons of hazardous waste produced each year in the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that about 90% of it is disposed of in an unsafe manner. The horrible history of Love Canal in New York is but one case showing the results of such practices.

The United States has a long history of companies marketing products that injure us, make us sick and even kill us. According to the National Commission on Product Safety, an estimated 30,000 people are killed each year, another 110,000 are permanently disabled, and 20 million more are injured.

Animals across the world suffer in silence due to the horrific actions of the fur trade. Each year approximately 50 million animals are killed around the world for their fur. A lifetime of suffering in cramped cages, or the agony and torture of the leghold trap just to satisfy someone’s greed and vanity. A recent investigation in China found cat's and dog's hanging by the neck from a wire noose whilst water was poured down there throats to try and drown them. If this wasn't shocking enough many innocent animals are skinned alive and undergo immense pain which can only be described as unimaginable.

8 An imprisoned man who masterminded a body parts-for-cash ring is being sued by a widow who only recently learned her husband's corpse had been picked apart instead of cremated. Michael Mastromarino , now serving an 18- to 54-year prison sentence for the sickening multi-million dollar scheme, is the target of the suit in Manhattan by widow Nelly Mejia . Mejia's husband, Gonzalo, was supposed to be cremated after his death in September 2003. Instead, his bones and tissue were instead peddled by Mastromarino and his ghouls who sold them for dental implants, knee replacements and other procedures. The Manhattan Supreme Court suit says Nelly Mejia only learned in February from prosecutors that her husband had been "secretly dissected." "Such dissections included replacement of harvested bone and tissue with foreign objects, such as PVC piping and other objects, so that the bodies would still appear normal for their pending visitation, funeral, cremation or post-mortem proceeding," the suit says.

Slide 13:
