Corruption, sexism and thrift


Hello, dear Lyudmila Vladimirovna, my colleagues and other readers of the Blog. The audio record given to us comprises some problems about which I want to tell further. So:
            1) Sexism.
            Despite of our progressive time, there are still many cases of sexism in the world. If we consider the best 250 world companies it is possible to notice that the part of the women working there constitutes only about 7 %. Banker Devis says that if in companies worked more women, business could become better and more productive.
            It is described the case of the disrespectful behaviors to woman Joe Dikson in the record. It is when one of heads has been surprised, having seen her at the meeting and has taken an interest that Joe there did. «This company has being managed by men 300 years, and people like you must be at home with your children» - words of this man. But Joe answered that the firm future would be provided with such people as she and if more women worked here the firm would function better (more flexible schedule etc.).
            Also it is IKEA enterprise example resulted. It is said that the company could do a lot more for environment and to the values: how to work with ethnic minorities, how to let women a chance to reach the higher positions on the company.

            2) Corruption.
            The annual corruption barometer from Transparency International was published this week. In this reporting the opinion of usual people is considered. The majority of the interrogated said that corruption in their country became worse.
            The transport logistics expert Gari Bosh which worked in Africa and in Russia, says that the greatest problem of corruption is that bribes take those people who work in the government. He is sure that if people want to struggle with corruption, they should change the government. As he says, people should bear responsibility for their job and for that they particular do.

            3) The problem of a toxic sludge of the enterprise in Hungary.
             Salton Iesh estimates financial and legal consequences of the spill at the mark of 150000000 or 200000000$. This incident has been investigated by police and authorities.
            Lawyers of the Hungarian enterprise say that it doesn't bear responsibility for the incident as the company had followed all rules and instructions. Moreover, the company claims that the state environmental monitoring agency carried out the most recent examination just 9 days before the disaster and found nothing wrong.
            In this situation only careful check will help to understand who is guilty in this incident and who will pay.
