Corporate Responsibility And Punishment

Corporate¹ wrongdoing abounds, whether it is the Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal, India which killed thousands of people and harmed thousands of others, the destruction of the Amazon rainforest by global corporate, political and other interests, or whether it is the Exxon oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska which permanently and adversely effected that environment as well as the economic viability of local companies (and workers) the successes of which (and whom) are contingent on the condition of that environment. Many ask just who or what is responsible (liable) for these and other untoward events or states of affairs of similar magnitude, demanding that those guilty of such harmful wrongdoings be punished.
