If someone goes shopping and spends hundreds of dollars on items and don’t donate, that says something about who they are as a person. While shopping a constant reminder is right there. A sad, innocent, starving, child stares up begging for someone to help. While the shopper may be well-off or struggling to put groceries on the table for their family, they then realize that there is someone out there who has it much worse. Shoppers who may not be very eager to donate begin to see how ignoring this world problem makes reflects on them as a person.
There are also ways for Lululemon to improve its stakeholder relationships. A company’s everyday decision making should be ethical, but some decision can lead to ethical
An example that is driven between each of the charities is that they use comparable language features for the majority of their pieces. They get the audience’s attention through having included, direct address and personal pronouns regularly. These techniques attract the viewer and can cause guilt within the text, for instance both charities use “you” constantly, which generates the audience to feel that they are the ones who need to make a difference. It is evidently shown in The Salvation pamphlet, for example “Please help end homelessness this winter, send your donation now.” World Vision also do, for instance “When you walk or run World Vision’s Global 6k for water, every step you take is one she doesn’t have to.”
Alana Ellis Carolyn Crane English 1C 6/26/2017 Paper 1 Many people say that they want to end world hunger, stop global warming, create world peace. To these people, the answers seem to lie in charity. Charity is defined as “generosity and helpfulness especially toward the needy or suffering” and, “an institution engaged in relief of the poor” (Merriam Webster Dictionary online). Motivated by the first definition of charity, people are driven to engage in trying to help those in need and alleviate their suffering.
(Feeding America). Part of their mission is to give money to services that give people the necessary food to survive. They are able to do this because of all the support people give and how strongly their volunteers and workers feel about completing their
When looking around the world today there is a lot of events that have shown different types of philanthropy. In Paris, there has been help for the families of those killed by ISIS during the attack. There has been aid for those in Mexico who were hit by the hurricane. There has been help for those at the college in Kenya that were attacked or the college in Washington that was attacked. The point is that what philanthropy is depends on what a person perceives it to be.

As well as factory fires killing hundreds of workers due to locked doors. An example from The Corporation, investigators found children from a developing country made pants for a Wal-Mart children’s charity in the west. Workers do not have much of a choice as factories can replace them with many others willing to work regardless of conditions. The industrialization of the fashion industry exploits cheap labour and these sweatshops often violate two or more Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For example, the right to life and living in freedom and safety (3), no slavery (4), no torture, cruel, or degrading treatment or punishment (5), and the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation on working hours.
Davis (as cited by Khalidah, Zulkufly, & Lau, 2014) defined Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as “… the firm’s consideration of, and response to, issues beyond the narrow economic, technical, and legal requirements of the firm. It is the firm’s obligation to evaluate in its decision-making processes the effects of its decisions on the external social system in a manner that will accomplish social benefits along with the traditional economic gains, which the firm seeks. It means that social responsibility begins where the law ends. A firm is not being socially responsible if it merely complies with the minimum requirements of the law, because this is what any good citizen would do.” A firm will not survive without the support of both the stakeholders and shareholders, thus the CSR proposes the indication which stats that a firm can never exist In a vacuum (Khalidah et.

Wear your label was made by Kayley who battled an eating disorder and Kyle who lives with anxiety and ADHD. They both reached out to each other and opened up about their illnesses, which led them to their idea, to makes clothes that open up the conversation about mental health. 10 percent of their profits goes to mental health initiatives. This clothing line has made some great change to break the stigma. The last organization I would like to mention is the bses campaign.
In the recent years more and more companies in the retail and food industry are concerned about the environmental consequences of their action and also the social ethics for the people involved in the production process. This is a shift from the philanthropic actions companies used to take in 1970’s and by following basic international standards to a ‘business case’ perspective of CSR (Customer Social Responsibility). According to the World Business Council for Sustainability Develpoment ( WBCSD) CSR is: ‘’ the commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, theirfamilies, the local community and society at large to improve their quality of life’’ (World Bank, 2002)
A company must make a competitive return for its shareholders and treat its employees fairly. A company also has wider responsibilities. It should minimize any harm to the environment and work in ways that do not damage the communities in which it operates.

Fashion is my method of self-expression. The clothes we choose to wear gives us control over how others perceive us and affects how we feel about ourselves. From wearing black at the Golden Globes in support of the Time’s Up movement to the traditional Chinese Qi Pao, clothes can show solidarity without words or act as a way for us to connect to our cultural heritage. This is why fashion is important to me, because it allows me to tell a story about who I am and who I aspire to be. I have chosen to further my Management studies at the London College of Fashion because the MA Fashion Design Management covers themes essential for managing a successful fashion brand, which has always been a dream of mine.
The world now consumes a staggering 80 billion pieces of clothing each year. Fashion has become a new concept that we hear a lot of. One-in-six people work in the global fashion industry the majority of these workers are females earning less than $3 per day (Hogarth, B,2015,1millionwomen). The fashion production has significantly grown, mainly over the last 20 years from stone ages before hundreds of years, humans depended on raising animals such as sheeps to have wool and use it as fabric. The cycle of fashion has recently grown during the Industrial Revolution and produced new clothing machines and retail factories that resulted in a massive quantity of garment production.
