THE TEN SHOCKING NIKE'S COMPANY SECRETS
We cannot just ignore the facts cited above and dismiss them on basis that they are just rumors and propaganda. The above documentary illustrates some of the social injustices that are carried out by the businesses in the society and which result into the backwardness of the society that has allowed the business to exist in it. Social injustice include some unfair practices carried out in the societies, for example, gender inequality, discrimination on basis of race, sex, abuse(physically and verbal), unfair wages, poor labor relations etc. It basically includes situations in which rights of a person or group of people are ignored.
Businesses need to be at the forefront in promoting social justice in the society e.g. through contributing to programs that reduce poverty in the society, but in a situation where the business treats some members of the society where it exists unfairly e.g. unfair wages to workers, what then should be the role of that society in ensuring that its members are treated fairly and in a just way by the said business entity. I think the end consumers of the business products should stop buying such products, manufactured or produced on grounds of injustices until the business reforms. Madiba says that, ' the older I get the more convinced I am that social equality is the one necessary condition for all human happiness.' Let us unite together in promoting social equality in the society and not 'just do it.'
social injustices will never be eliminated but just reduced to lower levels through sensitizing the society about its negative impact. Therefore much larger audience need to be reached to bring a stop to violation of human rights by corporations that have become the government in today's society which should not be the case. Human dignity need to be put first before any commercial interests of any individual or firm.
ReplyDeleteevery business owes its very existence to the society and thus it has the social duty to behave in a manner that its sustainable. a business should not only focus on its profitability but also to the welfare of the society . this will aid in minimizing the forms of injustices existing both in local and international communities.
