Most people buying a fake handbag think they are doing an absolutely reasonable thing.
They are purchasing a luxury item bearing a world-famous brand name. They will be able to
show it off to colleagues and friends. They are not bothered at all that everyone knows its a
fake. A lot of fake products look good.
Experts involved in cases considering intellectual property rights want customers to
realize the reverse of the coin. Lawyers and other specialists, who deal with rising customers
awareness about negative effects caused by fake goods business, try to change the
situation. They want shoppers to change the way they think about counterfeit luxury goods.
Customers have to realize what kind of activities they involuntarily support. Citizens should
be socially responsible enough to give up shopping for counterfeit goods.
Fake watches, shoes and other products lead to legitimate manufactures considerable
loss in profits. As for retailers, they lose not only in profits but also jobs, while the community
doesnt receive proper tax revenues. Moreover, what most people do not realize is the fact
that fake goods business is linked to bad working conditions, child labor and crimes. Fake
goods business is a serious problem to be resolved by all industries, from wallets and DVDs

My parents have a business and I help them out sometimes when I have free time. One of
the jobs I do for them is to go to the bank and deposit the takings. One day about a month ago,
when I went to the bank, I got more than I bargained for. I went as usual, with the money. I filled
out a deposit slip and stood in the queue reading my book I always take a book with me as I
get bored while waiting in long queues. When my turn finally came, I handed the cashier the
money and the deposit slip. She began counting the money when all of a sudden she stopped
and started looking very carefully at one of the banknotes. She gave me a very odd look and
took a small electrical device out of a drawer and passed it over the note. Then, she spoke to
one of her colleagues and I heard the word police and became a little worried. It turned out
that the note was counterfeit and I had a lot of talking to do to prove my innocence.

Working children lives are difficult not just because of their work. Their families are
poor or they have no families and no resources. Because they have no education, they are
condemned to be poor all their lives.
The British charity Save the Children says that it is important to talk to child
labourers to find solutions. Not all work is bad or dangerous. In some cases, if children cant
work, they or their families cant survive. Boycotts of products made using child labour result in
the children being forced to do more dangerous work. Save the Children supports projects that
give young workers access to education and better working conditions.
For example, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, teenagers from poor families
receive some money to start businesses. They can buy products to sell at the market and make
some money. Because they are the bosses, they can choose when to work and they have
money to pay for school.
Embroiderers like Nancy can go to classes organized by Save the Children. The
charity also helps them get reasonable pay for their work. Nancy says, Now we know that our
products sell very well in Europe. Before, I didnt know how much money I received. It was
written down. I couldnt read it. I used to think it was a good idea to ban products made by
children. But I live in the practical world, and Im very concerned about my family. For large
families, its very important for at least one or two children to work. If we don work, our families
wont survive.

A counterfeit drug or a counterfeit medicine is a medication which is produced and sold
with the intent to deceptively represent its origin or effectiveness. The common street word for
counterfeit drug is bead bag. Such a product may not contain a sufficient amount of active
ingredients or contains entirely incorrect ones.
People who apply a counterfeit medication may experience a number of dangerous
consequence to their health, such as unexpected side effects, allergic reactions or a worsening
of their condition. Many counterfeits contain inert substances which do not provide the patient
any treatment benefits. On the contrary, they may be hazardous.
It is estimated that upward of 10% of drugs worldwide are counterfeit, and in some
countries more than 50% of the drug supply is made up of counterfeit drugs. Furthermore, the
World Heath Organization estimates that the annual earning of counterfeit drugs are over $32
billion.
There are several technologies to help combating this problem, such as radio frequency
identification which uses electronic devices to identify pharmaceutical products. A new
technique, Raman spectroscopy can be used to discover counterfeit drugs while they are still in
their packaging.
According to the latest researches, India stands as the first country in fake drug
manufacture. 75% of counterfeit medicines in the world have their origins in India, followed by
07 % from Egypt and 06 % from China. In the case if India, it is against the law to make drugs
for domestic use, and it is not against the law to make them for export.

Anti-Corruption Education
Education is central in preventing corruption. Even clear laws and regulations and welldesigned institutions will not be able to prevent corruption, unless citizens actively demand
accountability from government and institutions.
The attitudes and expectations of citizens are crucial in building a responsive public
administration. Therefore fostering attitudes that do not tolerate corruption is at the core of
Transparency Internationals (TIs) work. Ethics education for young people can help break the
cycle of corruption, as todays youth will be potential leaders of tomorrow.
However, anti-corruption education does not work in isolation. The environment in which
children grow up plays a decisive role in shaping their attitudes. Ethics education must be part
of a broader effort to improve governance and reduce corruption. Within this framework,
children must have an appropriate and conducive learning environment that values integrity.
Thus, in order to be credible, anti-corruption teaching must relate to the daily lives of the
students and address real life dilemmas, conflicts if interests and corruption cases. Several civil
society organisations around the world have played an important role in making anti-corruption
education a reality. Though they have approached the topic from different angles, including
moral or value education, human rights and civic education, they all have set up a common
goal, strengthening young peoples attitudes and demand for accountability, and ultimately, to
build trust in government and the public sector.

Ethics in business is the set of moral values that the professionals of any field are
expected to respect when they deal either with each other or with the public .In business , ethics
represents the attitudes that individuals and firms should comply with in the actions they
perform and the decisions they take at every level of their realisations. Such a philosophy does
not exist every where because it needs the existence of important conditions to apply it.
In societies where both political and cultural conditions exist for making every one obey
this practice , the main principles that those engaged in the economic branches should follow
involve a good number of the qualities that have always served as the basis for civilisation.
Among them we find the obligation to be honest and lawful in ones activities. It is also essential
to act in conformity with the spirit of fair competition which imposes the acceptance of new
comers in ones sphere and forbids the recourse to the use of monopolisation not only in the
spheres of manufacturing and selling goods but also as regards the services which are provided
to the community.
Next to these aspects , ethics requires from various members and groups of economic
sectors the payment of ones taxes to the state and the necessity to treat ones employees with
fairness either in the question of salaries or in matters related to the various social benefits they
have the right to such as insurance policies , retirement pensions and the protection from
professional accidents.
To sum up , the moral values in modern societies necessitate from businessmen and
companies alike a strict observance of the different precepts on which the efficiency and the
prosperity of the whole community depends.

Read the following text carefully then do the activities.
Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they are criticized. Their critics feel
angry with them because they have so much money to throw around. Its unjust, they say that
entirely unproductive industry absorbs millions of pounds every year.
Lots of big companies are making much profit. Why dont they stop advertising and
reduce the price of their goods. The poor consumer would have to pay a great deal more if
advertising didnt create many markets for products. Its precisely because of heavy advertising
that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think that the only purpose
of advertising is to sell goods. Another important function is to inform. A great deal of knowledge
we have about household goods derive largely from the advertisements we read. They
introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of a few ones we already know.
We mustnt forget that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact
that we pay so little for our daily paper, or enjoy so many broadcast programs is due to the
money spent by advertisers. Another thing to remember is the small adverts in every
newspaper and magazine. What a tremendous useful service they perform for the community.
For example, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or any other
event..

Greedy marketing executives have found a new way of selling their products to children.
Besides bombarding them on TV, in the streets and at school, the worlds junk food makers
are trying to sell their hamburgers, chocolate and soft drinks to children who play games on
the Internet.
A new report says more than eighty percent of the worlds food companies are using this
clever method. The report was created by Americas Kaiser Family Foundation. It is called
It's Child's Play: Advergaming and the Online Marketing of Food to Children. It is the first
major analysis of how food companies advertise to children on the Web. It studies the tactics
of companies such as Mars, and McDonalds in targeting kids. The report says online
advertisements are more effective than TV ads at attracting children.
The report sadly brings a new word into the English vocabulary the advergame. This
is an immoral technique to get kids attracted while they are having fun online. In addition, a
variety of other marketing tactics are used to get kids to spend long periods of time online.
The food companies fill the games with logos and advertisements. They encourage children
to e-mail their friends about products and brands. They also recommend children to join
special clubs related to the games. Children can increase their chances of winning games by
buying the products and typing in special codes found inside the packaging. Ethical concerns
are raised about the role food advertising plays in childhood obesity; some specialists warn
the reach of online advertising is much deeper than that of television.

The marketing of junk food and fast food has become big businesssome have called
the food industry the next Tobacco. Companies spend top dollar on advertising to make us
keenly aware of their products. The aggressive advertising is working, Pepsi spends an
estimated $2.1 billion a year on marketing, McDonalds $1.2 billion, and Coca-Cola is not far
behind at $895 million.
The average child watches 10,000 food advertisements per year on television; most are
for junk food and fast foodonly 2% are for fruits, vegetables, or beans. Advertisements for
junk food and fast food can also be seen in magazines, movies (through product placement),
stores, the Internet, and even schools. What impact is this having on youth? Recent statistics
indicate that 14% of children are now seriously overweight. 60% of overweight children between
the ages of 5-10 years of age already have at least one risk factor for heart disease, including
elevated blood cholesterol, blood pressure or increased insulin, and type 2 diabetes.
However, todays youth, particularly girls, get mixed messages from the media. On one
hand, they are bombarded daily with advertisements for junk food and fast food on television
and magazines, yet the same magazines and television shows that serve up these ads also
celebrate the waif look by portraying pencil-thin models. This has created a state of confusion
