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?
