The "Occupy" Movement has become very popular this year as a way of protesting. It has stemmed from how it originated, to many other things. There are numerous websites supporting these occupy movements in cities throughout the nation.
With this being an election year, protestors have taken advantage of the opportunity for change in America, now more than ever. The goal of protestors is to bring about awareness to the issues that need change. This movement has definitely been successful and is estimated to continue for a few more months.
Relating this to the values and principles discussed in class, I believe these protests have negative aspects as well as positive aspects. Often times companies "forget" what is stated in their mission statements and the values and principles they claim to uphold. These movements and the upcoming election can have the opportunity to remind some companies what they stand for.
