Yes Men Article
Chevron launched a campaign called “We Agree” which addressed issues associated with oil companies. But because of the development of the internet the “Yes Men” created a spoof which attacked chevron.
What I find interesting about the “Yes Man” article is how it allows the viewer to see the flaws in chevrons “We Agree” campaign. Chevrons “we agree” argues that oil companies need to start looking out for the people, environment, and communities that help them profit. What the “Yes Men” do is suggest that these companies take responsibility for there actions and flaws, in admitting they are wrong.
After investigative both the “Yes Men” and “We Agree” article the first thing that came to my mind is the BP oil spill tragedy that occurred a few months ago, and how it affected our natural environment. These articles also suggest that oil companies are money hungry and will do anything to create large profits. This made me consider the communities these companies reside in and how they are affected.
