Since the rise of globalization and the introduction of offshoring/outsourcing, sweatshops have been an ethical issue in question.

employment in the scientific and technology sector in the twenty-first century. Many American workers accuse H1-B visa as the most significant factor behind the lack of current employment opportunities.

new work condition standards and the company also raised wages in its Asian factories. Unfortunately for Nike, the negative press didn’t subside. This cases involves several hot button issues.

Friendship was uncommon in the many American ranches in 1938; however, George and Lennie has a friendship like no other. Their trust for each other is so
