21、就能發(fā)現(xiàn)所謂的“承諾”即下蛋不見棱角，保證蛋皮、蛋清和蛋黃其實(shí)是任何母雞應(yīng)該做的事情。    這只母雞反映了現(xiàn)在社會(huì)上普遍存在的一個(gè)典型現(xiàn)象，即一些商家在廣告中故意用產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的基本特征來作為宣傳的噱頭。這些“美麗的承諾”給消費(fèi)者們?cè)斐闪颂摷俚挠∠?，使他們認(rèn)為面對(duì)著的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)擁有一些非凡的特點(diǎn)。從這個(gè)意義上來說，對(duì)于自己本該履行的責(zé)任的承諾就好像商業(yè)欺騙，違反了職業(yè)道德，盡管從字面上來說沒有欺詐的痕跡。    我認(rèn)為，商業(yè)成功的秘密不在于承諾做自己應(yīng)該做的事情，而是應(yīng)該讓消費(fèi)者得到額外的好處。這會(huì)促使企業(yè)加大和深入研究工作、致力于創(chuàng)

Furthermore, the process of industrialization and urbanization has generated severe pollution that ess
