She discovered that her old and worn friend was not in good health, and his condition was deteriorating over the past few days.

One of them killed four people and injured seventy-seven.

    I also agree that Apple is acting unethically and irresponsible. They exploit workers to the utmost, and it is true that many corporations do it as well, nonetheless Apple is a leading corporation in innovative technology; therefore, they should behave more responsibly. I believe that organizations, such as RAN, will undoubtedly put a stop to Apple’s improper practice. Furthermore, I assume Apple cares about its workers, but they prioritize their customers, and therefore they feel a lot of pressure to come out with new products that will satisfy their customers. In order to do that, they must also manufacture an enormous amount of products.…

    During the Gilded Age, the period that was glittering on the surface but corrupt underneath, the government attempted to settle the issues of this age by the reforms of the Progressive Era. The term “gilded” means something is beautiful on the surface but is really worthless underneath; however, it didn’t live up to its name. Although the reform of the Progressive Era attempted to resolve the issues of the Gilded Age; ultimately, it didn’t solve all the problems because there still were corruption in government, unethical business condition, and unequal distribution of wealth.

    Based on the three articles, there was a recent factory collapse in Bangladesh that has killed more than 1200 Bangladesh factory workers. In the article by Peter Dreier, he discusses how the New York Times newspaper company was able to dive deeper into the poor working conditions of Bangladesh. Dreier praises the New York Times and discusses how large companies that outsource labor today, such as Walmart, are handling the responsibility of employing workers in poor worker conditions. Dreier’s article differs from both Justin Doolittle’s article and Matthew Yglesias’s blog post. Yglesias believes that the poor working conditions in Bangladesh are justifiable because of the impractical use of immersing US safety rules into Bangladesh factories.…
