Below is the discussion and Response about discussion, you need to give your opinion after reading both:

Businesses are more careless when they operate business outside of USA. For example, Marlboro US-Based Tobacco giant targeted kids by its ads in Germany. By placing emphasis of being cool, it had promoted smoking trend among youngsters. Victoria’s Secret, a US-based company, was involved in the purchasing of cotton, raised by children in Africa. It violated the supply chain standards and partnered with unethical supply chain party to get cotton. Arrival of companies back to USA is a good piece of news, because it will force them to do business by holding ethics sensibly. Moreover, it will be good for the economy and general well-being as well. However, the presence of these companies gives strong competition to local competitors and outweighs them from the market due to which middle-middle and/or upper middle class may face economic downturn and shrinkage in their purchasing power.

Response: I would say that businesses are more lax when their business happens outside of the US only because you see so many cases of top companies acting unethically in their plants overseas. For example, Apple was caught using underage children in their plants overseas and providing appalling working conditions. I think I can safely say there is no way that would have been happening if manufacturing was taking place here in the US. The company is responsible for acting ethically in their plants all around the world and US officials should make it a priority to see to it that businesses are acting ethically because it will ultimately affect the quality of the product produced. I think it's great that companies are coming back to the US to produce their products because it means more jobs for Americans.
