Third, would you agree to what William Sumner said that it was not the role of the government to improve the conditions of the working classes, the claim of some writers that employers treated workers as a mere commodity, Sumner also asserted, was “ludicrous” in the “cold light of reason?” After some reading all the sources I can say that conditions got worse then were fixed later, some workers did not like their jobs, and I do not agree with Sumner’s argument. In researching the first question, “do the working conditions appear to be approving or getting worse?” After looking through the sources it looks like the conditions get worse at first then when the government finally stepped in they are
The motivation for suicide comes from the dynamics of the group itself. Group members who did not participate often talk about feeling guilt over not having “joined” the others. Like all other forms of collective behavior, a mass suicide occurs within a particular context that makes the behavior seem acceptable or inevitable to the participants.” (Locher, 2002) Mass Suicide 2 The attempted suicides at Foxconn are an example of the value-added theory. The workers at Foxconn did not decide to jump off the building because of a loss of reason or because that is what everyone else was doing at the time. The workers were quite literally driven to the edge because of unfair work conditions.
He is almost completely shunned from the town because he is trying to help a black man accused of rape. Mayella had told Tom, “I said come here, nigger, and bust up this chiffarobe for me, I gotta nickel for you.” (p.241) She had tricked him to coming over to her. Then that’s about the time when she accuses him of rape. He had felt sorry for her, which is why he was falsely accused in the first place. Courthouse segregation was one of the biggest bits of racism I found in this book.
In Measure for Measure, a leader corrupts the legal system for his own benefit. Vienna is being lead by Angelo, a name reflecting 'bad angel', and the city has been outraged due to his corrupt ways. The play is based around the court case of Claudio and the injustice delivered to him by the corrupt leader for a crime that some would consider being trivial. Claudio had made love to his fiancée prior to their marriage. At this time in Vienna, this was a crime punishable by death and Angelo was quick to pounce on this fact, sending Claudio to gaol and sentencing him to death.
“But Crack is illegal!” you say. The point Moore is making is that crack is illegal for a reason. “We, as a society have determined that crack destroys people’s lives.” “It ruins entire communities.” “It tears apart the very backbone of our country.” Our country has laws that tell us that we cannot sell crack because of this reason, but what about corporate downsizing? Corporate downsizing also destroys communities and families so why are it not illegal? Moore states, “For every pound of cocaine that is transformed into rack, a dealer stands to make a profit of $45,000.” This is a statistics that shows how much money you could make by selling crack.
What should the court decide? Why? > Background check is very important before hiring an employee because it presents the potential liability of employers for the harmful acts of the people they hire. Employers are generally responsible for the actions of their agents so they should avoid negligent hiring. If an employer fails to meet its duty to conduct an adequate background check and hires an unfit employee who uses his or her position to inflict harm on others, that employer may be liable for negligent hiring.
The workers realized that without them, the businesses would collapse, and therefore desired fair treatment as well as fair pay. When non-violent strikes didn’t get the job done, the workers felt cornered and these strikes turned into violent riots thinking that this tactic would be more beneficial. In order to keep these violent riots under control, companies would hire private militia or Pinkerton guards to come in and try to get things under control. Because of this, things
A second, and much more overlooked atrocity committed by human traffickers is fraud. many factory owners are currently advertising for jobs that sound “too good to be true” with free room and board, as well as paid travel expenses. However, once the workers arrive, they are heavily fined, and given no food or housing. The workers, in turn have no choice but to work in unfair conditions for extended periods of time until they can repay their employer the large debt they have acquired(Mark P. Lagon). A third way in which this [human trafficking] violates the law is through violence.
However, what made this situation even worse was the fact that the Government told the workers to go on a general strike. As the Government had sanctioned the strike, they were therefore held responsible for paying the workers’ lost wages by going on strike. The Government now was losing all the money generated from the industry in the Ruhr and was having to pay out to the striking workers. There was little else the Government could have done, but if they had not publicly told the workers to do it, it is possible that the workers would have gone on strike anyway as they would not want to work to give all their produce to the French. This way, the Government would not have to pay out compensation to the strikers.
