...the Chinese factories where Apple — and almost every other consumer electronics company — has their products made. It was a nice editorial, but I disagree with it completely. Well, almost completely. I do agree that it’s an important issue and that the discussion is good. He took a position and argued it well, that China was the story, and Apple merely link-bait. And it’s that position I disagree with. First of all, just because almost every other consumer electronics company uses the same factories in no way lets Apple off the hook. If anything, it just means those hooks are awfully crowded. Each and every one of those companies, including Apple, are accountable for their own actions, or lack of action, concerning the working conditions in the factories where their products are made. If Apple were to pull out of these factories, it’s true that a lot of other companies would remain, but so what? Apple will have done something, and even more pressure could be exerted on the ones that remained, and they’d look even worse because they remained. Change often comes from a single, courageous act that disrupts the status quo and sets into motion a new course of action that others simply must follow. If staying engaged proves to be a better strategy, however, Apple could still be a greater agent for change. They could see to it workers were paid more, for example, or insist upon more reasonable working schedules. Of course, Apple can’t just give the factories more money...

...that Bangladesh was “well on track” to achieve its development goals to become a middle-income country by 2021. The garment industry, which makes up 80 percent of the country’s export earnings and employs over 3.6 million people, has played an enormous role in the country’s economic progress. Due to a number of factors but mostly lower working wages, Bangladesh has beaten some of its neighbors like India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia to become one of the world’s largest clothing exporters – second only to China. Since the workers of garments industries are driving the economy of Bangladesh to a large extent it is necessary to ascertain a healthy working environment for the workers. The labor law, 2006 states a number of rules regarding safety, health and hygiene and welfare of the workers of Bangladesh. In order to evaluate the true picture of the garments sector a survey has been made on a garments company named “Best Shirts Ltd”. This report presents a detailed explanation of the health and welfare conditions prevailing in that garments factory. Here an effort has been made to capture the authentic picture of the internal condition of the garments factory. 1.1. The Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 The Bangladesh Labor Act 2006 (BLA 2006) both consolidates the law that existed in 25 Acts and Regulations (including the Factories Act 1965, and Industrial Relations Ordinance 1969 - all of which have now been repealed) whilst at the same time making some...

...Some people think women should be allowed to join the army, the navy and the air force just like men. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer. Write at least 250 words. model answer: Whether women should be allowed to serve in the military has triggered spirited debate. Some assert that the status quo should be changed and women should be entitled to join the armed forces. Personally, I fundamentally agree with their assertion-for three reasons. History has shown that women are fully capable of performing well in the military. Historically, there were a host of valiant women soldiers whose achievements really put their male counterparts to shame. One need only look at the classic examples of Joan of Arc and Mulan to see how exceptionally women could perform on the battlefield. In my observation, their determination, courage and dignity, to this day, are still being admired by male soldiers and civilians alike throughout the world. Moreover, from an enlightened standpoint, female patriots should be granted the right to go to the front line when their motherland is involved in a war. Admittedly, gender inequality was a highly controversial issue in the twentieth century. However, now twelve years into the new millennium, women can learn and teach, work and supervise, vote and voted in most countries just like men. In light of this sweeping progress in gender equality, there is no sense in denying them the right to defend their home country...

...BMW Dream Factory 3 BMW’S Dream Factory and Culture According to Schlegelmilch, Lehbrink and Osterroth (2008), the origins of BMW date back to one of three documents found in the Munich Register of Companies which states, Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG (Baverian Airplane Works or BFW) was founded March 7, 1916.

It would now produce “land, air and water vehicles, automobiles and bicycles. During the time of this new shift, the company’s trademark, the rotating propellers with the letters BMW, was registered. With its new name and new trademark, BMW designed its first six cylinder airplane engine. Employing over 3500 people, BMW went public on August 13, 1918. But by the end of the year, The Treaty of Versailles was signed imposing a ban on the construction of aviation engines and the use of heavy artillery, gas, tanks and aircraft in Germany. Although the company managed to stay afloat, it was a tough time for BMW. The company had relied on the manufacture of aircraft engines for its existence and more specifically the aero engines for warplanes. (Taylor, 2000 ). As a temporary solution BMW secured a contract to manufacture...

...Air pollution is still a growing issue in Los Angeles. However, with new regulation, air pollution is becoming less of a problem. However, Los Angeles still ranks as one of the top polluters in California (Barbosa, 2014). California as a whole has implemented regulations that will lessen the effects of the major air polluters; however, there is more work to be done. What is air pollution? “Air pollution is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals, particulates, and biological matter that cause harm to humans, other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment” (Coffey, 2010). Air pollution affects all living things. Plants, animals, and humans are all affected by air pollution. Air pollution is a threat to human health as well as the earth’s eco system. The earth is somewhat able to clean itself, however, the because of the number of pollutants, the earth struggles to clean itself. The result of the earth not being able to clean itself results in acid rain, smog, and the numerous of other safety and health problems. Air pollution may also be a cause for climate change and global warming. The cause of air pollution “Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is the main pollutant that is warming Earth. Though living things emit carbon dioxide when they breathe, carbon dioxide is widely considered to be a pollutant when associated with cars, planes, power plants, and other human activities that involve the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline...

This is by no means a definitive word, I’m not saying I agree or disagree and it is not peer-reviewed, though Bloomberg Businessweek is a well respected industry publication. What the article will do is cause you to question a few of your thoughts on how you will address the wk 6 assignment. Controversy is a great way to make one think! Hamlin, Kevin. (2001, 8 Sept).

Retrieved from http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/chinas-onechild-policy-is-crippling-industry-09082011.html China’s One-Child Policy Is Crippling Industry: Low-margin businesses are suffering from a shrinking labor pool and rising costs. [pic] By Kevin Hamlin Lin Chang Jie is battling to save his family’s business, which makes towels, cushions, and robes in the eastern Chinese city of Ningbo. The main threat he faces is a dwindling supply of workers, which forces him to pay higher wages. “I have to find a new way,” says Lin, 29, who is attempting to transform his Dejin Textile into an online fashion retailer in order to shrink headcount and keep the business from closing. “Wages are going up, up, up,” he says. “If we don’t like somebody’s work we can’t say anything, in case they leave.” Manufacturers such as Lin are caught in a demographic trap.

...Personally I do believe that government intervention is necessary for the economy to stay afloat and be able to function. But there is much disagreement with these. Truly though, I do not think that is the government that we have a specific problem with, the government is there to set laws, intervene and at times bail out the economy. The intervention of government is good and necessary. What I think we all have a problem with is the administration that is there at a certain point in time, their beliefs and ideals affect the economy. And I personally believe that this is when people start to disagree with “government intervention”, because an administration might or might not be doing whatever they think would be best. But the government was set up to benefit us and to set the rules and regulations so that the economy and the people would be able to function on a day to day basis and with progression. 1. a. 5% , 5.71%, 6.67% b. The tax rate is progressive; it increases as the income increases. 2. The main role of the government is to intervene in case of market failure, to establish and enforce the rules of the game, to promote competition and rule out unfair business practices, they rule out monopolies like different companies merging together. The government also provides public and private goods. The government also deals with externalities so that we are not affected by different markets; they regulate money, and also use fiscal policy to use that...

...The table is set; each person is carrying a plate of food into the dining room. The plates are steaming; everyone sits down and prepares themselves for what is about to be an amazing meal. It is now time to eat, everyone is enjoying their food, but fails to remember what this food had to go through to get to the table everyone is now sitting around and enjoying themselves. Every form of food goes through some sort of process to get to the point where it is edible for human beings, but not one everyone is aware of. I first became aware of this when I watched the movie “Food Inc.” This movie gives you are real in depth look behind the scenes of what your food goes through before it makes it to the store. The industry that is the biggest culprit of a disguised process is the meat and poultry industry. Their process consists of the alteration of animals, terrible living conditions, and mistreatment of the animals. Food is something everyone loves, but the same cannot be said about the process it goes through. The first part of the devastating process starts with the way the animals are altered. There was a time where the growth of animals was done with no help of enhancement tools, but today that is no longer the case. According to the movie Food Inc. originally a chicken took about 70 days to grow to its full potential, with the help of enhancement tools a chicken can be grown in half the time and end up growing larger then a naturally grown chicken. This process is only a benefit...
