Still, when considering the censure of human rights activists and the implications for the involved Americans, Google did the right thing by calling upon America??s most watchful eye to fix a glitch in its computer systems.

Unfortunately for Chinese citizens, Google rests low on CNN Money’s Fortune 500 list of America??s largest corporations —a mere 117th. This trend toward ethics over profit needs to continue expanding to bigger economic powerhouses, to reverberate the message throughout the world...
