We sometimes find it useful to define our terms. We have done that
on a separate page to avoid burdening the casual reader with details. As
noted above, Lyon, Popanz & Forester has endorsed the Global
Sullivan Principles of Corporate Social Responsibility.
We have a personal interest in the question: How can the improving standards of living of advanced nations be shared with the people of developing nations while preserving those parts of their culture that contribute in a positive way to the diversity of our world?
