Once you have viewed the case scenario, respond to the following questions,
with thorough explanations and well-supported rationale.

1. These workers state the “only thing they have is their work”. This
   statement suggests that without this work, they would have a lower
   standard of living. Should we inflict western values on this society?
   Bring in the concepts of social responsibility, integrity and other
   business ethics practices.
2. From Nike’s standpoint, is this a fair assessment of their ethical
   standards? Explain the some of the ethical issues that Nike is facing
   in the case.
3. Explain what Nike has done to improve this situation since this 2011
   video. Include the use of codes of ethics and other ethical
   standards implemented within the organization.
4. Is your opinion of Nike any different now after viewing this video?
   Would this change your buying behavior with respect to Nike products?
