    When I studied industrial design, our lecturers instilled in us that design was like a calling, that we had a responsibility to "save the world from bad design", solving mankind's pressing social and environmental problems, or something (and if we did it well, having fun and making money too)... I'm sad when I see the profession being treated as if its just a superficial commercial thing that doesn't help society or even harms it..
