But since I can't, I will demand reparations until those responsible are held fully accountable for their actions. en-us 2020-05-05 20:29:18 UTC 2024-07-24 22:21:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f1e7-1f1f8.png mrodriguez320 https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553213118 accept responsibility for the unethical actions that lead to my entire business falling apart as the Fyre Festival combusted. In April 2017 I pushed myself to the limit catering no less than a 1000 meals per day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all prepared and delivered by Exuma Point to Coco Plum Beach and Roker’s Point where the main events were scheduled to take place. My restaurant prepared food with no reimbursement or payment, and certainly with no respect given to my staff or I. I then paid my staff using my own personal savings, totaling more than $50,000 out of pocket. Not only do my people and my business deserve reparations, but this is unethical for the exploitation of my staff and I, and for the underlying biases contributing to the subliminal sentiment that the people of Exuma are disposable and don't deserve the same reparations that were granted to
 the influencers or those in media.]]> 2020-05-05 20:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553213118 mrodriguez320 https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553252054 Concentration of Power corrupts power holders, according to Johnson (2019). Leaders are susceptible to abusing their power, especially when experiencing the all-knowing, all-powerful, and invulnerable level of power that comes from uncontested decision making. Billy McFarland and Ja Rule all experienced this level of power, as no one was looking out for the people of Exuma.  ]]> 2020-05-05 20:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553252054 mrodriguez320 https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553265286 A popular argument that instantly contributes to my dehumanization is the idea that Billy McFarland was acting alone and you were all just following out compliance or your loyal sense of duty. Let's talk about the Ethics of Followership, and what your responsibility is. Johnson (2019) writes, "followers frequently take issues with working conditions, pay, or policies... they can't make the changes themselves, so they must express their disagreement to those who can."

Abuse of power, using WWII and Hitler's regime as a case study and comparing it to the enslavement of Africans in the United States, paint a very bleak picture of what happens when horrendous decisions are made, go unchallenged, and reparations aren't made causing subsequent injustice. ]]> 2020-05-05 21:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553297247 mrodriguez320 https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553301013 2020-05-05 21:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553301013 mrodriguez320 https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553310958 2020-05-05 21:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mrodriguez320/z3atsai0ixa5qexb/wish/553310958
