So:
    * evil
    * trivial / banal <-- neutral
    * good

¶* "labour" vs "work" distinction:
... in different languages

¶* criteria for inclusion (how to evaluate an institution) ?

Definitely need to provide more "deterministic" criteria what makes it here, what doesn't.

Is it more characterized by...
        * "what it does"
        * "means to do", or by
        * "who it benefits" or
        * "benefits more" (shift of power relations)?
    * [...]


Some possible criteria:
    * who do they benefit?
    * ... "is it contributing to rise or fall of corporate capitalism?"
    * how do they treat workers, community?
    * .. environment
    * are they effective in using resources (important for charity, for example)
    * is there a tradition / manifestative focus on "good"?
    * is the work a goal, or a way (to make money)?
    * [...]
