Class Work What are some of the challenges of MNC trying to be ethical? Describe three ethical concerns about Multinational products that have been expressed by consumers. How have three NGO’s helped improve conditions in developed countries?

Cultural jamming: “hijacking” a brand’s name, images, logos, etc Cultural jamming: “hijacking” a brand’s name, images, logos, etc. to create awareness for a cause or issue. Iman’s image was replaced by a bushman and “A diamond is forever” replaced by “The bushmen aren’t forever”. Some issues are very low profile with little or no media attention. A cause will often link itself to a corporation to create awareness through negative publicity for the corporation.

Examples: Joe Camel spoofed to Joe Chemo to create awareness for smoking & cancer Supersize Me and McDonald’s Positive examples: Ben & Jerry’s and rainforests Bill Gates (Microsoft) & his foundation Avon & breast cancer awareness
