#8 blood diamond follow up

the film showed how our decisons here (which diamonds to purchase etc) affect lives there....we talked about how our lust for newer and shinier cellphones is the cause of the civil war in Congo which has claimed over 1,000,000 lives (http://www.javafilms.fr/spip.php?article8)you can watch it at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4473700036349997790#)

me to we is about living ethically...about our behaviours , attitudes and choices and how they affect others

so...simple question, is it reasonable to expect North Americans to think about their purchasing choices (whether our choice was made in a sweatshop,,,whether it is the cause of a civil war,...whether it is harmful to the planet etc...etc)

simple question...really...can we expect North Americans to consider these things?

it is strictly an opinion question...answer honestly
