Over consumption has led to many cures and medicines being created, and has made the world a better and safer place then it once was. The Buy Nothing Day would only hinder the progress that mankind has made in keeping the environment intact. The way of life in the 21st century has and will be defined by consumerism.

During this timeframe, the Ford Motor Company would undergo changes which would present obstacles in regards to legality. In terms of downsizing to cut cost, the company would consider laying workers off and employment termination. However, these lay-offs and terminations would need to be upheld with evidence that would support and justify letting an employee go or the Ford Motor Company could potentially experience
The Pennsylvania Act 13th is legislation that was passed by Pennsylvania legislation to provide “pro-business, clean-energy bill creating jobs, revenue and improving environmental laws surrounding drilling.” ("Fracking Democracy: Why Pennsylvania's Act 13 May Be the Nation's Worst Corporate Giveaway | AlterNet", 2012).

It has allowed them (companies of fracking) the basic rights to drill within 300 yards of any protect land for an example, wetlands and populated areas. It also helps over turn zoning laws that have been in place to help protect these people from the chemicals and air pollution that would be a result in closer proximity to their homes and community.

Those who believe this would likely argue that policies such as affirmative action have been instituted to address and correct the problems of racism in corporate America, and have done a great job of eradicating racism in corporate America altogether. It has been argued that affirmative action corrects the problem of racism in corporate America by presenting opportunities to those who might not otherwise be exposed to them, by requiring widespread advertisement of certain job and job training opportunities and abilities.
