Agenda:
Dear Blissers,
Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we allow corporations to pay for the right to pollute the atmosphere? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars? Auctioning admission to elite universities? Selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay?
Let’s take on one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Is there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of markets?
In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life - medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without noticing and realizing it, Is this where we want to be ???
I’m going to share with you a book What Money Can't Buy, Michael J. Sandel , whose "Justice" course is one of the most popular and influential at Harvard University since 1980.
Reading this book really an eye & mind opening experience for me, everything you thought up to a point becomes questions, challenges !!
And this coming Sat. afternoon on 5/18 , I would like to engage all of the dear Blissers to into a discussion of some big questions in our lives , our societies …..I cannot promise a definitive answer after the meeting discussion however, hoping via my meeting to provide a chance to each citizen of Taiwan to think them trough .
Here is several questions which we are going to discuss some of them before /during and after our article reading , please bring us your input when joining my meeting this Sat afternoon
1. Is there anything in the world that we definitely should not pay to buy ??
2. Except what we read from the article , why we shall worry if everything in our life is up for sale ? please give your own openions.
3. Do you agree students to use market mechanism to allocate access to any lead university? ( e.g huge donations to the school )
4. Our military service from 徵兵 to 募兵制 , do you agree or disagree with it , why ?
5. Do you agree with ticket scalping with below 3 diff scenario
5.1 Ticket scalping for the May Day concert
5.2 Ticket scalping for the train ticket during the Chinese New Year vacation
5.3 Ticket scalping for the priority to have a medical care , e.g Surgery .
