BUDDHA: "Consider others as yourself." (33) 

JESUS: "If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also." 
BUDDHA: "If anyone should give you a blow with his hand, with a stick, or with a knife, you should abandon all desires and utter no evil words." (34) 

JESUS: "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you."

JESUS: "You father in heaven makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous." 
BUDDHA: "The light of the sun and the moon illuminates the whole world, both him who does well and him who does ill, both him who stands high and him who stands low." (38)

The Corporation.

In his book 'The Corporation; the pathological pursuit of profit and power' Joel Bakan asserts,

The corporation’s legally defined mandate is to pursue, relentlessly and without exception, its own self interest, regardless of the often harmful consequences it might cause to others.  As a result, I argue, the corporation is a pathological institution, a dangerous possessor of the great power it wields over people and societies.

Well-being in the workplace

Cadbury was founded in 1824 by a Quaker.  The company set standards in employee welfare and labour relations that other enlightened employers sought to adopt.

The Quakers questioned the morality of Limited Liability Act 1855 because it relieved the owners of the business from responsibility for the actions of the business.

They felt the separation of ownership from management was morally irresponsible.

As limited liability took hold, Quaker influence in business declined.  In 1918 the British Labour Party was formed in response to the effects limited liability was having on society.

Many of us today are owners (shareholders) of companies.  We care about profits, but do we care about how staff are treated?

Perhaps we don't really consider it.  Is it any wonder then that staff don't get treated so well and many of us feel that we are expected to behave like robots or drones.

In considering the question of the Limited Liability Corporation the Quakers 'declared that nothing less than the ‘personality’—the personhood of the human—was at risk in the ways that the system treated its participants.'...
