5. Activities Work in pairs Consider the four questions from page 124 What are your responses to these questions? Make notes with arguments to support your responses.

6. Agree or disagree? • Consumer power is the most important factor in changing the way workers are treated. • TNCs are starting to treat workers better because they care about them. • All consumers should buy products according to the ethics of the company that produces them. • It is not the responsibility of the consumer to raise the working conditions of TNC factories. • Governments should bring in stricter rules about working conditions in TNC factories.

8. Independent study Add to your notes by completing these tasks: • The growing demand for rainforest timber, the development of bio fuels and oil extraction have all led to conflicts because the homelands of indigenous people are being destroyed. Find out an example of a place where this has occurred and make notes to show what has happened and the social environmental and economic impacts. 2) Revisit chapter 9 and further research the idea of fair trade coffee through the Rainforest Alliance. Consider how governments can ensure that their workers on farms are paid a fair price for the food products that they produce.
