RALPH NADER TO SPEAK AT BOISE STATE ON
CORPORATIZATION
Ralph Nader will talk at Boise State
University at 7 p.m. on April 16 at the Morrison Center. Nader’s
lecture, titled "The Corporatization of America," will focus on
the growing "imperialism" of multinational corporations and on
the dangerous implications of the convergence of corporate and government
power. Additionally, his lecture will address ways to affect change.
"To go through life as a non-citizen
would be to feel that there’s nothing you can do, that nobody’s
listening, that you don’t matter," Nader has said, "But to be
a citizen is to enjoy the deep satisfaction of seeing the prevention of
pain, misery and injustice."
When asked to define himself Ralph Nader
has said, "Full-time citizen, the most important office in America
for anyone to achieve." Nader takes his position very seriously. He
has written or collaborated on countless books on consumer advocacy, and
has founded or inspired the formation of many organizations that advance
public interests. As a result, his criticism of government and industry
has had a widespread effect on public awareness and bureaucratic power.
