SummaryFor-profit corporations increasingly tend to infiltrate (overtly and subliminally) our lives. One example of their interference is marketing strategies aimed at children. Adult consumers are like roaches: they tend to become “immune” to classical marketing strategies and advertisements. Today, corporations tend to by-pass this phenomenon by marketing to children instead: money is indirectly extracted from adults by manipulating their children. There are two main reasons why marketing strategies target children: because of the persuasive power children have over their parents, and because they simply are easier to manipulate. At this point we have to ask ourselves: is it ethical to market to children? Should children be protected from being marketed to?

- In my opinion, it is unethical to market to children and to exploit them as consumers from such an early age on

SummaryNot long ago, offshoring was uncommon for companies. Today, however, it is becoming a more commonplace practice: as prices for manufacturing rise in the US; shipping these operations overseas becomes more appealing. If we talk about offshoring we can separate the practice in two distinctive types of offshoring: Offshoring Blue Collar Jobs and offshoring White Collar jobs. Blue Collar jobs are basically all jobs which historically have required the person to wear a uniform (which were often blue). A Blue Collar worker is a person working manual labor and is usually paid hourly. Manufacturing Jobs are usually referred to as Blue Collar jobs and can include unskilled or skilled labor. On the other hand White Collar jobs can be any job which is not considered a Blue Collar Job and usually does not include manual labor. White Collar Worker most often receives their income in the form of salary. Examples of White Collar Jobs include Sales, Managerial and Clerical Jobs. Offshoring can refer to moving jobs to companies already in existence in another country, or can refer to a company building facilities in their own name overseas.

SummaryThe controversy surrounding self-fulfilling prophecies, while originally centered on proving their existence, has recently settled on the probability of such phenomenon occurring in a natural environment. While not directly cited in this resource guide, the original “Pygmalion Effect” experiment by Robert Rosenthal and Leonore Jacobson, while a success in its own self-absorbed goals, failed to make any connections outside of its own hypothesis. The Harvard professor and elementary school principal proved that teacher expectation can directly influence student achievement, but the experiment, conducted in a fixed environment, did not initially translate to the naturalistic world. The original teachers, the independent variables of the test, were told what to expect from their students, and although those students, a heterogeneous mixture of academic potentials, did in fact respond with positive correlation to the subsequent behaviors of their teachers, there was no guarantee that such cause and effect would occur in a literal classroom. In a series of experiments that followed in the decade after Rosenthal and Jacobson’s revolutionary yet flawed research, the naturalistic implications of the Pygmalion Effect were established, answering the question of whether or not teachers do make such drastic predictions, basing their expectations on first impressions and superficial observations and inadvertently fulfilling their own prophecies concerning their students.

Summary We'll see that a mediate position can be found between what Donnelly has identified as radical cultural relativism (a) and radical universalism (b). Thus, it seems that a cross-cultural consensus can be found on the universality of some basic rights contained in the UDHR, whereas some other articles may be susceptible of cultural adaptation. But in the first place we will examine the position of cultural relativists and its potential weaknesses and hidden rationals
Table of Contents- The UDHR is a Western conception of human rights (the claim for cultural relativism)
- Human rights: a Western invention
- Human rights as opposed to duties and collective mechanisms
- The accusation of cultural imperialism
- The issue of the hierarchy of rights within the UDHR
- The necessary respect for cultural diversity
- Striving for universalism (the defenders of the UDHR)
- The hidden side of cultural relativism
- The accommodation of universal rights in a non-Western cultural context: the case of Islamic countries
- A way out: 'relative universality' and the recognition of basic rights
