    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.

Fagan maintained that the nation can do better in terms giving back to the needy, especially considering the wealthy of the nation. However, what Fagan failed to mention in the article is what the homeless are not doing for themselves.
