Then address the following questions, demonstrating the importance of business ethics and corporate social responsibility.
• Do you think Nike was responsible for compensating the workers in Honduras? Why did it change its stance?
• Did the students, universities, and workers themselves have all of the information they needed before becoming involved in the protest? Are their facts accurate?
• Should students be activists? Do companies such as Nike ignore them at their own peril?
