This article is about college students who have decided to stand up against Coca-Cola and try to make their university cancel it's contract with the Coca-Cola Company. This article can be used to go along with my argument against Coke. I will use the facts that are given to show people the truth about Coke and why they need to take responsibility.
Students at the University of Massachusetts have started a campaign to stop killer coke. They have decided to boycott against all coke products and are trying to make their school end their contract with this company. This group of students plan on contacting and talking with University Administrators about the University’s “exclusive pouring rights” contract with Coca-Cola. Contract Administrator says "“We are aware that the University receives a significant amount of money from a company that is associated with torture, kidnapping, murder, union busting, draining of public groundwater in vulnerable communities and so on". How can the university feel okay about taking money from such a bad company? Yah, they receive a good amount of money from them that goes towards good things, but the money is coming from all of the bad things that Coke does. This is not okay and needs to stop. More University campus's around the country need to stop and take a look at this huge company's background and on-going mischief.
The article goes on to talk about just a handful of wrong doings that have been connected to The Coca-Cola Company. Everything from assassinations to causing droughts, none of their wrong doings are small, innocent things. They all affect people in more ways than one and need to end now. The worst of it all is that the company not only denies these occurrences, but they lie about them and blame them on someone else. This is definitely an ethically challenged company that needs to step back and take a good look at themselves and what they have become. These students have the right idea. More campus's need to start taking a stand and make things right. We can't let Coke get away with anything else.
