Consumer needs to buy the goods no matter what..So don't tell me s/he is being forced to do it..So where is the question of becoming a victim?

Haha, so according to you, only those who do charity, have ethics...

Not "need" its just "want". In a counttry like the US the things that are really needed are expensive.... In India.. every thing has been substandardized through manipulation to ensure higher profit margins.. Businesses are not acts of philanthrophy.. they are purely for making money... and profits....

Less or more.. businesses are not free from unethical stand... its almost impossible... even schools and hospitals are into profit generation...

Qwerts ..agree with you there.. the very premise of making money in trading - be it goods, services or intellect is profit driven and hence unethical.. we can justify making money like we justify being non veg or whatever else.. Of course there is a less damaging way of doing bussiness which appeases our conscience..😊
