The SituationYou work for a growing company, which thus far has operated only in the United States and Canada. Its board has just approve a plan to expand operations in two locations in the world whose local populations are overwhelmingly Hindu. The company management knows nothing about Hinduism, except perhaps for a few stereotypes. The company plans to hire most of its staff locally, so it needs basic information about Hinduism so that it can conduct advertising, human resources, and other aspects of its operations without offending cultural sensibilities.Your TaskYou work in the accounting department, but because you have a degree in religious studies, the company’s management has asked you to prepare a brief report on certain aspects of Hinduism.

.Assume that you are a high level manager for a shoe manufacturer.  You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by producing shoes in Indonesia, where you could hire women for $40 a month to assemble them.  You also know, however, that a competing shoe manufacturer recently was accused by human rights advocates of engaging in exploitative labor practices because the manufacturer shipped shoes made by Indonesian women working for similarly low wages.  You personally do not believe that paying $40 a month to Indonesian women is unethical, because you know that in that impoverished country, $40 a month is a better than average wage rate.  Assuming that the decision is yours to make, should you have the shoes manufactured in Indonesia and make higher profits for your company?  Or should you avoid the risk of negative publicity and the consequences of that publicity for the firm’s reputation and subsequent profits?  Are there other alternatives?
we've gotten to see how Adler would address challenges facing a democratic socialist society. In Chapter 6, he further elaborates upon his proposal, arguing that democratic socialism is up to the challenge of addressing the six crises. Evaluate Adler's argument. Some questions you might consider are: are there any obstacles to democratic socialism which Adler does not address? Are there any which he does not effectively respond to? What social or economic forces are at the heart of his democratic socialist society--how is this thing supposed to work? What's the logic of that system? For a given crisis which you care about and think needs to be solved, how successful is Adler in demonstrating that democratic socialism is the solution.
