They were unsafe because there were no regulations on how they were built. Some tenements didn’t even have windows or fire escapes. As a result many immigrants were caught and killed in fires (OK). Some groups tried to change the living conditions for the better. Immigrants worked in sweatshops that were dangerous.
When they made national television, so did the shoes they were wearing. One of the most visible runners to wear Nikes was American record-holder Steve Prefontaine. He became the first of a team of edgy athletes Knight recruited to endorse his
The majority of this controversy was stimulated by the Nike’s alleged use of contractors that failed to abide by international or local legislation regarding the treatment of workers or, as it turns out, contractors that did not comply with labor standards that Nike itself had set. Some of the specific allegations were that the contractors that Nike employs do not provide their employees a safe working environment, hire workers that are too young to legally work in manufacturing according to the Fair Labor Association (FLA), force their laborers to work excessive hours, do not pay their laborers a sustainable wage, and moreover in some cases do not even pay the host nation’s minimum wage. Despite the deplorability of these allegations, it is important to view the allegations within the scope of the cultural context in which these factories exist. The host
Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. This whole project of Prohibition was all a big fail. Today as a whole I don’t know why we would even attempt it like some places have. It needs to be a learning experience for our government today not to do what it did back then and spend tons of money on laws that are going to fail and cause more debt. In all the Prohibition Era was a down for America even though it might not say so, but it was a true down grade instead of a booming
These convicted sex offenders cannot live in most Iowa cities and are forced to live in rural areas. If you are a registered sex offender in Iowa it is no different than being in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. Many politicians feel this law is unfair but they don't vote against these laws for fear they will be labeled as unsympathetic for victims of sexual abuse. The majority of citizens are in favor of this law but they don’t know that there are still many sex offenders around them who haven’t been convicted of it yet. This law should be banned because it is very hard for sex offenders to find a place to live, no matter how serious your offence was all sex offenders have to face the same punishment, and it is very difficult to keep track of all these sex
In the 70ties Nestle has faced the law suit. The cause of the controversy was that the Nestle Infant formula was partially the reason of the death of 3rd World kids. Its partial involvement was due to the fact that Nestle marketing strategy wasn’t adjusted to the specifics of 3rd World, they treated new markets as the local one. The aspects of country economical and development level as well as the environment, culture and social living aspects weren’t taken into consideration while entering the market. However, the situation had place in the 70ties during different marketing era which was concerned mostly about product not social responsibility
In some countries around the globe, such as Norway and Sweden, elected officials have made it totally illegal for parents to spank their child. Since this happened Oakland, California has established an official "No Spanking Zone." This proposes a question, is spanking a good form of discipline? From what the doctors say it certainly appears not to be and I think most parents tend to agree with them that spanking is not an acceptable form of discipline anymore. But according to the Critique of Anti-Spanking Study, found in Assertive Discipline, "experts do not all agree that spanking is harmful and some believe that mild spanking is a useful form of discipline" (Canter).
An example of this is Nike in Vietnam, in 2005 they were accused of running sweatshops and massively underpaying their workers, they were also accused of using children to also work in the factories. Many human rights pressure groups believe that this is inhumane and that workers should be given higher pay and better working conditions, they also believe it is wrong for children to be working in such an adult environment. However, you could argue that even though workers may get underpaid and this is at the fault of multinational corporations like Nike, without multinational corporations that outsource factories to LEDC these people may not have a job in the first place and therefore have no money. Also some working conditions may be poor, but many multinational corporations invest large amounts of money into the local area, this improves the living conditions for the workers, due to this many corporations may then not have the money to improve the working conditions. You could argue that if local governments invested more money in local living conditions, multinational corporations then wouldn’t have to and would therefore have the money to improve working
Although many people are against that, others have felt it was right even necessary. Yes teens make mistakes and do unnecessary things, but treating them as adult’s isn’t the right thing to do. Juveniles shouldn’t be punished as adults, because they’re still maturing and still have the mind of a child. Teenagers often don’t have the mind of an adult, so why try them as one? In Adam Liptak’s article “ Locked Away Forever” published in The New York Times he tells us of the case of Joe Sullivan, who was charged with sexually
Target Market Maria Rose MKT/498 Target Market “Just Do It” is a well-known tag line for Nike. The “Swoosh” is another iconic symbol for the number one athletic shoe company. Founded in January 1964, on a hand shake and five hundred dollars apiece, Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight placed their first order of 300 pairs of shoes; and Blue Ribbon Shoes was created. The currently known name Nike was created in 1971 by Jeff Johnson. He had met Phil Knight at Stanford and soon became an invaluable asset to the new company.
