Research Vietnam Textiles , INC 
Before participating in the discussion for this unit, go through the Application Based Assignment: Exploring Ethics: Labor Practices in Vietnam. Based on your own assessment of Vietnam Textiles, Inc., would you agree with the claim that the company is operating both legally and morally? What relevant details of the scenario support your conclusion?
And respond to the following post :  
Vietnam Textiles is a company that operates in compliance with local laws and regulations. The company believes in providing job opportunities for the younger generation in their facility. However, the younger workforce is assigned less physically demanding duties to ensure well-being. 
It’s crucial to consider cultural and demographic differences when comparing labor practices between Vietnam and the United States. In Vietnam, employing younger workers is common, and it’s not unusual to see many young employees working in textile factories. Vietnam Textiles takes pride in contributing to the community by providing job opportunities for younger individuals, enabling them to learn valuable work skills and support their families financially.
The company acknowledges the concerns regarding the employment of young workers and has taken measures to ensure their safety and well-being. The younger workforce has a secure working environment, and their health and safety are always prioritized. Moreover, the company offers training and development opportunities to all its employees, including young workers, to help them grow and advance within the organization.
In conclusion, Vietnam Textiles complies with local laws, and it’s a responsible organization that values the well-being of its employees. The company provides job opportunities for younger workers, enabling them to learn valuable skills, support their families financially, and contribute to the community.

Respond to the charge that immigrants flood the labor market and drive down wages in the U.S.
Additional information:
“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:33–34, NIV).
“There is no evidence that over time, immigrants reduced wages, lowered the living standards of the resident population or raised unemployment rates.” — John Stapleford, Bulls, Bears, and Golden Calves. IVP Academic (p. 227)
