PART I: SHORT RESPONSE
Directions: Please write a two to three paragraph response for
each of the following questions. Be sure to cite any references
used. Please use proper APA citation when using any source
including the textbook. Please visit the Academic Resource
Center (ARC) for concise APA guidelines.
5. 1. Argue and defend your positions on the following
statements:The U.S. is already and will continue to lose its
status as a central, pivotal global superpower, including its
cultural and values influence, in the world in the next 10 to 20
years if not sooner.
Censorship restrictions in other countries on such information
technology as Google and other Web sites in justifiable; U.S.
and other western nations should not try to impose their values
and norms on censoring practices.
A “global set of ethics” is impossible. Each culture and region
of the world should have its own ethics as well as values and
cultural differences.
To succeed, globalization must involve justice and fairness
practices from First World countries toward Third World
nations and peoples.
Although it is preferable that transnational and multinational
companies act ethically, it is really not practical in every region
of the world, including the U.S.
MNEs cannot financially afford to follow the guidelines in the
text; it would be too costly for them.”
When two national MNEs are both right over a controversial
issuefor example, violation of patent or intellectual property
rightsethics should be avoided, and other, more concrete issues
should be used to resolve the dispute.
Without transnational and MNEs doing business in poorer
countries, peoples of those countries who are striving to survive
would suffer even more.
2. Offer an example of, and explain why, one of your own
values or an ethical standard you deeply believe in and follow
might conflict with a different cultural or regional ethic in, for
example, China, Russia, the Middle East, or the U.S. (if you are
from a different culture). How flexible would you be, or not be,
in negotiating one of your core beliefs in another culture? What
would be your constraints to be flexible and change your value-
6. based position? Explain.
3. Evaluate and argue different sides of this statement:
“McDonaldization is not a ‘bad’ thing. Everyone has a choice
of what and how much to buy and consume. People are lucky to
have a low cost food option as McDonald’s.”

7. 2. Do you agree or disagree with Google in this case?
