well, I think that people always try to protect their business regardless whether the business is ethical. History has shown that normal people can be very unethical when they have the opportunity or are socially influenced to believe that evil is okay. Besides, power corrupts. I mean, if I was surrounded by attractive women who venerated me as a divine being well then ehh... you know the flesh is weak. What Zablocki wrote is very true in this respect. According to the professor in sociology at the Rutgers University Benjamin Zablocki, cults are at high risk of becoming abusive to members, in part because members' adulation of charismatic leaders contributes to their becoming corrupted by the power they seek and are accorded. Zablocki defines a cult here as an ideological organization held together by charismatic relationships and demanding total commitment. Andries Modified by Andries at Wed, Mar 30, 2005, 11:56:55
