Movie Night

We had movie night tonight. Although it was very cosy with popcorn, coke and beer there was also an intellectual element to it. After the last two days teachings on 'Ethics and Social Responsiblity' Professor Michael Yaziji showed Al Gores well known movie 'An inconvenient truth' and Marc Achbar's 'The Corporation'. The former tells the story of the biggest challenge of our time, Global warming, while the second is about how corporate greed and lack of ethics and moral can leads to exploitation and human misery. The latter is a very anti-business movie, but it is nevertheless very relevant, particularly in a business school.

What I liked about both movies is that they don't end as doomsday wisdom. Al Gore's movie ends up concluding that we already have the necessary technology to turn the corner and bring our CO2 emissions back 1970 levels. All that is required is mix personal and political will, not more technology.

The yearbook committee is working serious overtime these days. They have collected more than 15,000 pictures and hundreds of pages of data from participants and partners, which they now are compiling into a book that we all will keep as a memory for many years to come. The hard workers are Adrian Smaranda (nearest), Rasmus Figenschou, Sylvain Cabalery, Manisha Mediratta and David Rohan (behind the screen). They get moral support from MBA2009 dog-of-the-year Kizomba. Thank you guys for the amazing work. We know how many hours you are putting in it and we all appreciate it!!
