Henry Lewis Stimson was an American statesman who served as Secretary of War under Republican presidents and Secretary of State under a Republican president. As Secretary of State, he articulated the Stimson Doctrine in 1931, which announced American opposition to Japanese expansion in Asia and said the US would not recognize territorial gains made through illegal aggression. The Stimson Doctrine supported the idea that legal rights cannot be obtained through illegal actions like using force. NATO eventually took on a leading role in Afghanistan beginning in 2003 to train Afghan security forces after the US invasion in response to 9/11, transferring full security responsibility to Afghanistan in 2014. The US also invaded Iraq in 2003 over issues related to weapons of mass destruction, though weapons inspectors said cooperation wasOrganizational Diversity
Organizational DiversityLeah Snider

This document discusses diversity in the retail industry. It finds that while diversity is comparable to overall workforce levels, with white non-Hispanic workers making up two-thirds, minorities face opportunity gaps. Black and Latino retail workers are overrepresented in low-paying, unstable jobs and underrepresented in management. There are barriers like stereotyping that limit minority access to informal networks important for career success. While diversity poses initial communication challenges, over time diverse groups develop strategies to consider more alternatives and perspectives, improving marketing, creativity, and cultural sensitivity.Nordstrom Culture

Nordstrom has a strong organizational culture focused on customer service. Their culture is shaped by their values of prioritizing customer experience, their heroes like the Nordstrom family who have run the business for over 100 years emphasizing customer service, and rituals like weekly employee celebrations and contests. Communication reinforces the culture through informal exchanges and an inverted management pyramid that prioritizes customers, empowers employees, and focuses managers on coaching. This strong culture has supported Nordstrom's success over 114 years of operation.The Bangladesh Disaster and Corporate Social Responsibility

An illegally constructed building containing six garment factories collapsed in Bangladesh, killing approximately 800 workers. The building owners ignored warnings about structural cracks from local authorities, refusing to evacuate the factories. In response, labor unions are calling on clothing brands, suppliers, and the Bangladeshi government to improve safety standards and ensure compensation for victims to prevent future tragedies. Weak regulations, corruption, and lack of enforcement allow building owners and factory operators to ignore safety issues. International corporations have a responsibility to ensure proper working conditions and oversight throughout their global supply chains.Dealing with thousands of rana plaza

Bangladesh was overwhelmed by the collapse of Rana Plaza at the outskirts of it capital Dhaka on April 24, 2013. Nearly 2,500 victims were rescued while thousands have died or remain unaccounted for. Rescue operation of this worst accident in the countrys history was equally heroic and haphazard. It demonstrated the lack of readiness in terms of conducting disaster recovery operations. The incident signals the magnitude of devastation once the country is hit by earthquake. I have tried to capture the role of mobile phone industry in this respect.

The artist statement discusses how humans have modified the natural landscape through farming, grazing, burning, and clearing land for development. These practices have caused extensive environmental damage, with few remote places left untouched. The global population is projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, requiring a 70% increase in food production that could further degrade agricultural lands and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Through their artwork, the artist aims to bring awareness to the impacts of human activity on the environment and question whether future generations will be able to feed themselves sustainably. The subject matter is meaningful to the artist because they believe humans have a moral obligation to be responsible stewards of the planet and protectRana Plaza incident: The Right to Remedy

Some of the supply chain labor issues we assumed would continue unfortunately did: mass faintings of Cambodian garment factory workers, strikes by workers in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Vietnam, more factory fires. Unfortunately we did not foresee the tragic collapse of the Rana Plaza multi-storey garment factory building killing more than 1300 workers, or we might have done more to prevent it. Nevertheless, other supply chain labor and environmental risks explored remained relevant, and solutions presented continue to receive accolades in the industry.

This presentation summarizes the socio-cultural and psychological preconditions of industrialization in Bangladesh. It outlines that industrialization was connected to British colonial rule transforming Bangladesh's economy. Social preconditions included the commercialization of agriculture, specialization through division of labor, and the breakdown of self-sufficient village communities. Cultural preconditions comprised the technological and communication impacts of British rule. Psychological preconditions involved changes in attitudes toward entrepreneurship and investment, as well as political stability under new government systems. In conclusion, industrialization played an important role in developing Bangladesh's economy and society.Rana plaza workplace safety in bangladesh

It is considered to be the deadliest garment-factory accident in history, as well as the deadliest accidental structural failure in modern human history.
The building contained clothing factories, a bank, apartments, and several other shops. The shops and the bank on the lower floors immediately closed after cracks were discovered in the building. Warnings to avoid using the building after cracks appeared the day before had been ignored. Garment workers were ordered to return the following day and the building collapsed during the morning rush-hour. - wikipedia

The Human Rights Watch report documents continuing labor rights violations in Bangladeshi garment factories, including physical and verbal abuse of workers, forced overtime, and intimidation of union organizers. Union organizers in several factories reported assaults and threats by factory managers aimed at preventing union formation, highlighting that respect for worker rights remains inadequate despite reforms following major disasters like the Rana Plaza collapse. The report concludes that fully respecting labor rights, including freedom of association, is essential to improving worker safety and preventing future tragedies.Case study report team 4

This tragedy highlighted the dangerous working conditions in Bangladesh's garment industry. Key stakeholders included fashion brands producing clothes at Rana Plaza like Primark, Benetton, and Walmart. There are ongoing efforts by multi-stakeholder agreements to improve health and safety in the industry, moving away from a compliance model toward cooperation between buyers, unions, and NGOs. However, without adequate enforcement and inspections, decent work remains out of reach for many textile workers in Bangladesh.Garment Workers Misery

Tragedy in Bangladeshthe Rana Plaza Factory Collapse
On April 24, 2013, an eight-story garment factory building collapsed in Rana Plaza, which is on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Rana Plaza building is located in Savar, near Dhaka. The collapse occurred just after work had begun that morning in several companies that were all housed in the building. Roughly 5,000 workers, mostly women, worked in the complex. By that evening, 1,000 people had been rescued and it was reported the next day that at least 119 were killed. This building collapse occurred months after more than 100 workers had died in a fire at the Tazreen Fashions factory near Dhaka.
As the weeks passed, the death toll continued to rise. By a month later, it was apparent that over 1,100 garment workers perished in the collapse of the substandard factory building. The gruesome calamity already has been called the worst industrial accident since the Bhopal disaster in 1984 and the worst ever in the garment industry.
What makes the tragedy such a monumental story is that it is the worst event to occur in the decades-long debate over the use of sweat shops and related labor rights issues in these controversial links in supply chains typically used by well-to-do multinational industries to manufacture cheap products for the Western world. At issue are the safety, health, and security of the employees at these work sites.
Since the building collapse occurred and the total costs in lives, injuries, and property losses have been tallied, the logical questions about responsibility for the tragedy have been raised. In a complex disaster such as this, there is considerable finger pointing and the parties being identified as responsible continue to multiply.
Reports are that the owners of the building had been warned that it was unsafe and one response by the owners was to threaten to fire the people who didnt just keep working.
Within a month of the building collapse, the government created a panel to study the accident and the panel issued a 400-page report claiming that substandard building materials, failure to comply with building regulations, and the use of heavy equipment on upper floors were key factors in the disaster. The panel also recommended that the owner of Rana Plaza, Sohel Rana, and the owners of the five garment factories located in the building should be charged with culpable homicide for allegedly forcing the employees to return to work on April 24 after cracks had been seen on the exterior of the building the previous day.
The Bangladeshi government has been pressured by many diverse groups to take action to overhaul workplace safety in the aftermath of the building collapse. A more serious problem viewed by others has been the lack of acceptable regulations and their enforcement on the part of the government itself. Many blame the government for not setting and enforcing safety standards in much the same way these type regulations work in more dev.Industrial Relations

In April 2013, the Rana Plaza
building in Bangladesh collapsed, a
disaster that killed 1,134 garment
workers and injured 2,500 more. The
immediate cause of the disaster was
the overloading of two (illegal) upper
storeys of a weak building with 3,500
workers, thousands of industrial sewing
machines and two power generators.
Thin floors and the addition of too much
sand to the concrete used to construct
the building also contributed to the
eight-storey collapse.
But the soil nurturing the seeds of this
disaster was the economic and political
system in which the garment industry grew.
The ready-made garment (RMG) industry
accounts for 80 per cent of Bangladeshs
export earnings and depends on a ready
supply of the cheapest labour in the world
often crammed into factories which can be
all too often unstable and full of fire hazards.
Overwhelmingly, these factories are owned
not by the brand names and retailers in
western countries but by local factory
owners, whose influence with the
government mitigates against effective
health and safety enforcement. And the fact
that the industrys workforce, approximately
3.5 million workers, is largely female and not
well-educated makes it easier to dominate.
On-the morning of collapse in 2013, the
building was showing signs that it was
unsafe but workers were bullied into entering
it. There were no unions to stand up to them.
Pressures on local factory owners in
Bangladesh add to the problems. Not only do
they struggle to compete with each other but
also with RMG factories in other countries
such as China. To succeed they must meet
the tight prices and even tighter deadlines
demanded by western brands and retailers.

Given the economic importance of the

There are ongoing efforts by multi-stakeholder agreements to improve health and safety in the industry, moving away from a compliance model toward cooperation between buyers, unions, and NGOs. However, without adequate enforcement and inspections, decent work remains out of reach for many textile workers in Bangladesh.Garment Workers Misery

The document discusses several issues related to globalization and its impact on health, safety, and the environment from multiple perspectives. It describes the Bhopal disaster and ongoing protests. It provides examples of poor working conditions and regulatory failures in factories in China and Bangladesh producing goods for Western companies. These include long hours, low pay, few protections, and incidents with deaths from fires in locked facilities. There is debate around the costs and benefits of regulations and the moral responsibilities of companies and consumers regarding overseas production.38Tragedy in Bangladeshthe Rana Plaza Factory CollapseOn Ap.docx

Tragedy in Bangladeshthe Rana Plaza Factory Collapse
On April 24, 2013, an eight-story garment factory building collapsed in Rana Plaza, which is on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Rana Plaza building is located in Savar, near Dhaka. The collapse occurred just after work had begun that morning in several companies that were all housed in the building. Roughly 5,000 workers, mostly women, worked in the complex. By that evening, 1,000 people had been rescued and it was reported the next day that at least 119 were killed. This building collapse occurred months after more than 100 workers had died in a fire at the Tazreen Fashions factory near Dhaka.
As the weeks passed, the death toll continued to rise. By a month later, it was apparent that over 1,100 garment workers perished in the collapse of the substandard factory building. The gruesome calamity already has been called the worst industrial accident since the Bhopal disaster in 1984 and the worst ever in the garment industry.
What makes the tragedy such a monumental story is that it is the worst event to occur in the decades-long debate over the use of sweat shops and related labor rights issues in these controversial links in supply chains typically used by well-to-do multinational industries to manufacture cheap products for the Western world. At issue are the safety, health, and security of the employees at these work sites.
Since the building collapse occurred and the total costs in lives, injuries, and property losses have been tallied, the logical questions about responsibility for the tragedy have been raised. In a complex disaster such as this, there is considerable finger pointing and the parties being identified as responsible continue to multiply.
Reports are that the owners of the building had been warned that it was unsafe and one response by the owners was to threaten to fire the people who didnt just keep working.
Within a month of the building collapse, the government created a panel to study the accident and the panel issued a 400-page report claiming that substandard building materials, failure to comply with building regulations, and the use of heavy equipment on upper floors were key factors in the disaster. The panel also recommended that the owner of Rana Plaza, Sohel Rana, and the owners of the five garment factories located in the building should be charged with culpable homicide for allegedly forcing the employees to return to work on April 24 after cracks had been seen on the exterior of the building the previous day.
The Bangladeshi government has been pressured by many diverse groups to take action to overhaul workplace safety in the aftermath of the building collapse. A more serious problem viewed by others has been the lack of acceptable regulations and their enforcement on the part of the government itself. Many blame the government for not setting and enforcing safety standards in much the same way these type regulations work in more dev.Industrial Relations

In April 2013, the Rana Plaza
building in Bangladesh collapsed, a
disaster that killed 1,134 garment
workers and injured 2,500 more. The
immediate cause of the disaster was
the overloading of two (illegal) upper
storeys of a weak building with 3,500
workers, thousands of industrial sewing
machines and two power generators.
Thin floors and the addition of too much
sand to the concrete used to construct
the building also contributed to the
eight-storey collapse.
But the soil nurturing the seeds of this
disaster was the economic and political
system in which the garment industry grew.
The ready-made garment (RMG) industry
accounts for 80 per cent of Bangladeshs
export earnings and depends on a ready
supply of the cheapest labour in the world
often crammed into factories which can be
all too often unstable and full of fire hazards.
Overwhelmingly, these factories are owned
not by the brand names and retailers in
western countries but by local factory
owners, whose influence with the
government mitigates against effective
health and safety enforcement. And the fact
that the industrys workforce, approximately
3.5 million workers, is largely female and not
well-educated makes it easier to dominate.
On-the morning of collapse in 2013, the
building was showing signs that it was
unsafe but workers were bullied into entering
it. There were no unions to stand up to them.
Pressures on local factory owners in
Bangladesh add to the problems. Not only do
they struggle to compete with each other but
also with RMG factories in other countries
such as China. To succeed they must meet
the tight prices and even tighter deadlines
demanded by western brands and retailers.

The document discusses sweatshops and their role in the fashion industry. While sweatshops have poor working conditions, they provide important jobs for workers in developing countries. Some key points made are: 1) Sweatshops allow economies in poor countries to grow by providing manufacturing jobs. 2) Workers choose to work in sweatshops because alternatives like subsistence farming or prostitution are worse. 3) Conditions can be improved, but sweatshops need to exist for countries' economic development. The document examines both criticisms of sweatshops but also their necessity.Who bears more responsibility consumers or companies.
Who bears more responsibility consumers or companies.nikolas monize
油
The document discusses whether consumers or companies bear more responsibility for poor conditions in sweatshops that produce clothing. It argues that while consumers demand low prices and fast fashion, companies ultimately control wages, working conditions, and prices. Companies profit greatly from sweatshops where workers make only pennies an hour in unsafe conditions. Even when warned of building issues, companies refused to address problems, leading to disasters like the Rana Plaza collapse that killed thousands of Bangladeshi workers. Though consumers play a role, the document concludes that companies bear most responsibility as they have the power to improve conditions but prioritize profits over people's lives.Essay On Gbv.

This document summarizes the history and present scenario of the garments sector in Bangladesh. It discusses that the garments industry is the largest export industry in Bangladesh, employing millions of workers, mostly women. However, there have been some major accidents, including the Tazreen Fashions fire in 2012 and the Rana Plaza building collapse in 2013 that killed over 1,100 people. In response, safety measures have been upgraded through agreements between international brands, local factories and unions to improve inspections and standards over five years to help prevent future tragedies and protect workers.82916 f_ch02.docx 45 Chapter 2 From Public Regulat.docx

The safety and well-being of workers across our supply chain is the Responsible
Sourcing groups top priority, which is why Walmart suppliers are contractually
required to sign our Standards for Suppliers before theyre approved to produce
merchandise for sale at Walmart. These Standards for Suppliers make clear our
fundamental expectations for suppliers and factories regarding the treatment of
workers and impact on the environment. Suppliers are also required to display our
Standards for Suppliers in the local language in all factories where products are
made for us, so workers know our expectations of suppliers and factory
management.

on Compliance and Sourcing
Walmart, the worlds largest corporation in 2015, invests in comprehensive social audits across
our global supply chain. Its factory auditsreportedly often unannouncedare conducted by
independent accredited and internationally recognized auditing firms. Factories are then said to
be reaudited every six to twenty-four months, based on the results. This comprehensive auditing
system is designed to verify that factories meet or exceed Walmarts standards, which include
assurance that all labor is voluntary, prohibitions against child labor, requirements that hours are

not excessive (and are consistent with local laws or regulations), and that factories provide safe
and healthy working conditions (Walmart 2014).
On November 24, 2012, a fire at the Tazreen Fashion apparel factory in Dhaka,
Bangladesh, claimed 112 lives and injured 200 others, making it the deadliest factory fire in the
history of a country long plagued by factories fires. Workers found themselves trapped by the
absence of safe and accessible fire exits, windows blocked by iron grills, a lack of adequate fire
preparedness training, and the fact that the building was at the time under construction: five
additional stories were being added to the original three-story structure, even as garment
production continued as usual.
In this unsafe environment, ten workers perished on Tazreens fifth floor, where they
were sewing Walmarts Faded Glory shorts. Walmart, one of the many companies producing
garments at the factory (Maquila Solidarity Network 2012b),
1
claimed it was unaware that its
Faded Glory shorts were being sewn at Tazreen through a subcontracting arrangement. Yet the
factorys owner reported that Walmarts local office had audited the factory a year earlier,
finding only problems with excessive overtime. A Walmart spokesperson confirmed this,
acknowledging that the company had conducted at least two inspections in 2011, but claiming
that Walmart had stopped production many months before the fire (Yardley 2012).

RMG stands for Ready Made Garments, which is Bangladesh's largest export industry and employer. It provides over 4 million jobs but working conditions are poor, with low wages, lack of safety protections, and incidents like the deadly 2012 Tazreen factory fire and 2013 Rana Plaza building collapse that killed over 1,100 workers. Interviews with garment workers found issues like wages as low as 5,000-6,000 taka, lack of adequate toilets and drinking water, and unsatisfactory treatment by managers. International organizations are working with the Bangladesh government and industry to improve safety standards, strengthen inspections, increase awareness of worker rights, and provide support to victims of accidents.The WorldS Sweatshop Essay Examples

These factories have hazardous working conditions and even deaths, yet the corporations obtain large profits by taking advantage of low wages. The corporations ultimately control production quotas and wages.
Paragraph 2: Working conditions in Chinese factories are extremely demanding. Workers in one Guangdong factory producing keyboards for Microsoft, HP, Dell, and IBM work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to meet high production quotas. They earn very low wages and have little time off.

The owner, Sohel Rana, brought paid gang members to beat the women and men workers, hitting them with sticks to force them to go into the factory. Managers of the five factories housed in Rana Plaza also told the frightened workers, telling them that if they did not return to work, there would be no money to pay them for the month of April, which meant that there would be no food for them and their children. They were forced to go in to work at 8:00 a.m. At 8:45 a.m. the electricity went out and the factories five generators kicked on. Almost immediately the workers felt the eight-story building begin to move, and heard a loud explosion as the building collapsed, pancaking downward. Globalbourrights.com
