Are you a bad person if you buy gifts from Amazon this X-mas?
Does buying gifts from Amazon make you a bad person?
This week, Jake and Ant tackle the very festive topic of the morality of buying gifts from Amazon. They start by going over the pros and cons of buying from Amazon, both the intended and unintended results. As well as going over both Amazon’s philanthropic and less-than-philanthropic endeavours.
Then they discuss different philosophical frameworks and what they have to say about the morality of buying from the online marketplace behemoth.
They go over the roles individuals have to play versus the one that government does, as well as discussing the morality of even making this an individual issue in the first place. Is even talking about what we, as individuals, can do distracting from a greater issue?
