Online petition - Too often pro rightist capitalism slogans are spoken

14-06-2005 01:16

Raising awareness.

 http://www.petitiononline.com/stev1978/

It is about how the news should report the issue of trade and society using unbiased terms - for example, unregulated trade instead of Free Trade - 'Free' is a powerful word - powerful enough that it selected to be used all around - buy one get one free - etc. I would hope that this campaign could be sucessful in two different main ways:

1) change media reporting - a victory for commonsense as the masses become less influence by these influential pro-business slogans.

2) those who argue against unregulated trade will tend to call it unregulated trade - rather than saying, "I AM AGAINST FREE TRADE" because people who may not have fully looked into the issues may think from the slogan, that we must be against an aspect of freedom! because is free is such a powerful and postive word - it should not be used to describe something of considered by many to not be so wonderful.
