Hunting, for Good Will in reality

Week 5 (question 7)

Does concept of "Good Will" occur in reality? It has been posed to relate this to my entrepreneur class, but I feel thats a stretch. But I will touch on it briefly. To me, there is certainly good will in the business world, and if done correctly, it can be benificial. Think of the Subway, Pepsi, the Five Guys, the Pizza Hut in your neighborhood that donates time, volunteers, and PRODUCTS to a race, charity, or event. It is free publicity and advertizing for them, and the organizers or event gets free goods. But this is a philisophical question, because the term "good will" has a connotation of doing something selfless and generous. And in the example I gave, those companies are doing something nice, but with the ultimate desire to attract clients to their products, and that is selfish.

Speaking of selfish, I am going to give another example of Good Will existing in reality, but it is for my own selfish gain. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings.... in each of those stories, good always trumps evil. And so I am going to tag those words so hopefully somebody doing a search for key words will hit my Blog :) Ahhh yes!
