Dear Raffi, These are really very critical questions and decisions. I have taken a course on ethics and we are discussing many things more and more from ethical point of view in my country.
I have taken a course on ethics but more than the course what shows the way is our own "conscience" and we must be conscious of our decisions (which means for me; we must know why we make this decision) Coming to your question; I can be in contact with any organization (no matter what they do) if I believe (sense) that there can be a chance of transformation through OS (or another method). Personally I don't judge quickly, but I like being "very attentive about the consequences" and "very conscious about the reasons" of my decisions. I loose time, I am late but I feel better in this way.

Phil, you ask what are some ways OST can be destructive? Examples: -Building more McDonald's restaurants- how we can sustain expansion of this chain? -Conducting OS with any corporation which has had a history of discrimination, crowding out small business, etc. -Would you agree to conduct (if you were in the US) an OS to explore how to mobilize volunteers to help elect Bush? Or any candidate with whom you don't agree? I have never taken a course in ethics or anything along those lines. Maybe there are folks on-list who might have a framework the guides them on the ethics issue. Maybe the examples I have listed as "destructive" are not necessarily destructive? Still ponderously, Raffi * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
