Answer:

1. Moral and ethical responsibility

2. No

3. Lawsuit may be involved

Explanation:

1. Every US company apart from environmental or safety laws in the locality where it operates, have a moral and ethical responsibility to do what is right in terms of safe work practices and product safety/quality.

2. Even though some countries may have less strict laws than the US, moral and ethical responsibility should always thrive. For example, China is known to have less strict manufacturing standards than the United States, however this does not justifies a company to practice unsafe manufacturing standards.

3. For corporations selling products overseas that are banned in the United States, such as DDT to countries that were known to still allow it sales such as India, and North Korea. A lawsuit against those corporations may be considered legal.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

C) a local school district

Explanation:

Many school districts already carry out similar policies through Local School Wellness Policy programs. Malnutrition negatively affects kids the most and that is why school districts are currently trying to fight it. Malnutrition is not simply not eating enough food, it means not eating nutritious food at the right amounts. Obese children can suffer from malnutrition, while a slender kid can have a proper and balanced nutrition.

So if someone is seeking for a grant to fight malnutrition, they should go to their local authorities first and get in touch with the school district.
