Gold Mining and the Discourses of Corporate Social ...

“Gold Mining and the Discourses of Corporate Social Responsibility in Ghana is innovative and engaging. Importantly, it moves the emerging corporate social responsibility debates in Africa forward in an exciting way. The book offers critical insights into the nature, contestations and dynamics of CSR in Ghana while privileging African voices.

 · Discourse is central to corporate life and involves both internal and external stakeholders. Text and talk not only accompany corporate activity, but often effectively constitute it. Moreover, discourse is implicated in constructing identity and power at the level of the individual employee, within teams and departments, and at the level of the corporation as a whole.

Right-wingers consistently rehash the horrors of cancel culture to expand their platforms and leftists employ it to reinvent themselves as diversity consultants and anti-racism professionals by arguing that the existence of cancel culture indicates that institutions require remodelling to foster equality and cultural awareness.

For leftists, cancelling public figures is evidence that society is plagued by institutional racism. Even if the reasons for cancel culture are fallacious the fact that someone was cancelled is sufficient justification for the assertion that racism permeates society. The quest for power and status also explains why leftists lobby social media entities to deplatform controversial users. By exaggerating the sins of their opponents, they manipulate others into perceiving their deeds as virtuous.

And unfortunately for consumers social media companies waste time exploring hate speech policies, instead of working to enhance the user experience. However, mainstream intellectuals are not the only people benefiting from the puritanical ethos of contemporary culture. Publications, irrespective of ideology, use such stories to elicit traction from readers by articulating the details to suit narrow agendas.

The truth is that cancel culture is a problem in some quarters, but it is being weaponized by the left and right for financial gains. As such, they should limit consumption of this narrative since in the long term they are only wasting valuable time. Could it be said that the Federal Reserve controls wages the same way they control the prices of goods and services?

Average hourly earnings jumped 0. These headlines provide little context and the general public has no idea where these figures come from, how they were calculated, nor what they mean. Consider geographic locations like New York City, Green Bay, or Honolulu, then think about how many different types of jobs are in existence.

Whether a barista, construction worker, teacher, doctor, nurse, engineer, or president of a bank, one should question the usefulness of arriving at an average wage for an entire nation. The problem is how it is applied for planning purposes. According to the article :. Some voices on Wall Street expect the wage and inflation numbers to start resonating with Fed officials. But if wage increases were to move materially and persistently above the levels of productivity gains and inflation, businesses would likely pass those increases on to customers, a process that could become the sort of "wage—price spiral" seen at times in the past.

While the Fed has long believed in a Deflationary Spiral , we can add a Wage-Price Spiral on the list of economic threats the Fed should monitor. Despite not telling readers how the Fed can control wages, or elaborating on the notion of a wage-spiral, CNBC is quick to assure readers that the Fed will look at:.

It all seems somewhat haphazardly contrived, as if these economic slogans are being made up with no firm backing or theory behind them. Calculating the average wage is problematic.

Add the idea that wages could rise too much or too fast, it would trigger prices to increase, causing the wrong type of inflation; the bad as opposed to the good inflation. These are all various steps in what amounts to a very big leap of faith. The only thing worse is the conclusion that, for now, the Fed is monitoring the situation. The main reason we are seemingly so accepting of lockdowns and vaccine mandates is that we have been conditioned to view a pandemic or an epidemic as a war being waged on our society.

In wartime we naturally expect civil liberties to be suspended. Likewise, the reasoning goes, during a pandemic we need to act in a unified way under some central command to fight this viral existential threat. Individual rights and freedoms must be curtailed for the sake of the greater good. A pandemic is not a war. It has no intentions whatsoever. Heck, it is not even alive. The only similarity between a war and a pandemic, then, is that oftentimes many lives are lost in both cases.

The enemy may be so powerful as to take over the country without a shot being fired. In fact, war rarely aims to kill citizens for the sake of killing. Deaths are usually the consequence of one state trying to control another. Once control is achieved, the killing usually stops. But not so with the virus.

So far as we know, it just kills individuals mindlessly. It has neither the intention nor the capability of taking over the country or subjugating the people.

Therefore, it is not a threat to the common good , only to many individual goods. The hero may regret leaving behind wife and children but he is propelled to move to the front by the greater attraction of safeguarding the greater good.

Granted, human nature being what it is, wars are rarely just and individuals are rarely heroes, so the sacrifice often involves forced conscription. But a pandemic is clearly not like war.

It does not bring forth the same motivations of heroic self-sacrifice and reactions of solidarity that a just war brings. If a heroic action takes place during a pandemic and clearly such action does take place from the ranks of frontline workers it is a self-sacrifice aimed at saving the lives of particular individuals and is therefore indistinguishable from peacetime heroic action, as when a person jumps into a torrent to save a drowning baby. It is motivated by the love of neighbor, not love of country i.

This is particularly true of this covid pandemic which attacks individuals with such discrimination, generally sparing the young and healthy while slamming the old or those with metabolic or immune vulnerabilities. But discriminate destruction is, in fact, typical of natural disasters: It is the Gulf Coast, Florida, and the Eastern Seaboard that are the target of the hurricane while the earthquake shakes California; Vesuvius was fatal for Pompeii, but hardly for the rest of Campania or for Naples; the flood affects those living on the plain, not the mountain dwellers; etc.

It is not the common good that is undermined by the disaster, but only many individual material properties and many individual lives. War, on the other hand, aims at controlling the whole land. They are a kind of collective action that would be justified in wartime but is applied in actual peacetime. But when the state shuts down restaurants and churches allegedly to save hospitals, while the Zoomocracy thrives, it has pitted one part of the nation against another, thus manufacturing winners and losers from within its own people.

And likewise with these horrendous vaccine mandates that overtly do violence to the unvaccinated who are plainly innocent of any wrongdoing. Yet all are within the same commonwealth! Our preconditioned way of thinking about pandemics in martial terms may unfortunately turn into reality.

The virus may eventually recede but many common goods may not survive the response to the pandemic. Julie Ponesse, a philosophy professor specializing in ethics who until recently taught at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, has a moving video in which she protests the requirement at her university that she get a covid vaccination in order to continue teaching. She points out that it is her absolute right to decide what substances are injected into her body, and that this should settle the question of whether the requirement is legitimate.

In this case, there is also a supplementary argument to be considered. The evidence does not show the vaccine works, and there is reason to believe it has harmful effects. At the end of the video, she breaks down in tears over the prospect of being unable able to continue her twenty-one years of teaching. She was in fact fired. Skip to main content.

And another titled: Fed Chief Powell, other officials owned securities central bank bought during Covid pandemic. To their credit, CNBC is asking novel questions like: Should the Fed have banned officials from holding, buying and selling the same assets the Fed itself was buying last year when it dramatically widened the types of assets it would purchase in response to the pandemic?

As to what Biden might do, a former chief economist of the National Economic Council provided a solution: The administration is understandably going to wait and see how the Fed handles the taper and what the markets do. Do Monarchies Have Higher Rates of Economic Growth?

These include semiotics , psycholinguistics , sociolinguistics , and pragmatics. An example is [12] "conversational analysis", which was influenced by the Sociologist Harold Garfinkel, [13] the founder of Ethnomethodology. In Europe, Michel Foucault became one of the key theorists of the subject, especially of discourse, and wrote The Archaeology of Knowledge. In this context, the term 'discourse' no longer refers to formal linguistic aspects, but to institutionalized patterns of knowledge that become manifest in disciplinary structures and operate by the connection of knowledge and power.

Since the s, Foucault's works have had an increasing impact especially on discourse analysis in the field of social sciences. Thus, in modern European social sciences, one can find a wide range of different approaches working with Foucault's definition of discourse and his theoretical concepts. Apart from the original context in France, there is, since , a broad discussion on socio-scientific discourse analysis in Germany.

Here, for example, the sociologist Reiner Keller developed his widely recognized ' Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse SKAD '. Berger and Thomas Luckmann , Keller argues that our sense of reality in everyday life and thus the meaning of every object, action and event is the product of a permanent, routinized interaction. Whereas the latter primarily focus on the constitution and stabilization of knowledge on the level of interaction, Foucault's perspective concentrates on institutional contexts of the production and integration of knowledge, where the subject mainly appears to be determined by knowledge and power.

Therefore, the [15] 'Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse' can also be seen as an approach to deal with the vividly discussed micro—macro problem in sociology. The following are some of the specific theoretical perspectives and analytical approaches used in linguistic discourse analysis:. Although these approaches emphasize different aspects of language use, they all view language as social interaction and are concerned with the social contexts in which discourse is embedded.

Often a distinction is made between 'local' structures of discourse such as relations among sentences, propositions, and turns and 'global' structures, such as overall topics and the schematic organization of discourses and conversations. For instance, many types of discourse begin with some kind of global 'summary', in titles, headlines, leads, abstracts, and so on. A problem for the discourse analyst is to decide when a particular feature is relevant to the specification required.

A question many linguists ask is: "Are there general principles which will determine the relevance or nature of the specification? Topics of discourse analysis include: [20]. Political discourse analysis is a field of discourse analysis which focuses on discourse in political forums such as debates, speeches, and hearings as the phenomenon of interest.

Policy analysis requires discourse analysis to be effective from the post-positivist perspective. Political discourse is the formal exchange of reasoned views as to which of several alternative courses of action should be taken to solve a societal problem.

Corporate discourse can be broadly defined as the language used by corporations. It encompasses a set of messages that a corporation sends out to the world the general public, the customers and other corporations and the messages it uses to communicate within its own structures the employees and other stakeholders.

That problem stems not from the liberal sensibilities of students or professors but from vast inequalities in wealth and power, and it is these inequalities that we should help students analyze, critique, and change. If we want to promote rational public discourse, and we should, we can contribute by showing how a mask of civility often conceals deception that is anything but civil.
