By not mentioning other companies that use the same tactics, he puts a negative image on Nike alone instead of all American companies who choose to outsource manufacturing to foreign countries. I think it’s kind of ironic that Mr. Ballinger is doing research on ethical practices of American companies when he himself is using an unethical approach to his research. Another fact that he fails to mention is that what Nike is doing is not illegal. Unethical, yes, but due to weak policies in some of these foreign companies, it allows for American, or any other nation’s companies, to exploit these practices. Also, why doesn’t he mention anything about the retailers who sell Nike shoes?

On the other hand the study measured the health outcomes of the participants which proved that there was a relationship between the variables. The results show that the higher the stress index it scored, the more susceptible the participants were to the common cold which subsequently supports Cohen’s theory. Also the study was covered by rigorous ethical considerations as all

c) I don’t believe my organization complies with all of the requirements because I don’t work so this does not apply. d) No one is responsible in my organization to make sure these compliance laws are met because once again I do not work so this does not apply.

The journal does not truly seem to provide any usefully information because it does not reveal much of the educational side of their psycho-education. It does however provide all of the information of the experiment. It shows all the results, which does not hold much meaning due to the current outcome.

Prejudice is something that if you understand the truth behind it and the facts then you can possibly overcome it. Many people are being prejudiced without out even realising the harm it can cause, so maybe you should never judge a person until you contemplate things from his or her point of view.
