10. More than 180 human-rights organizations are calling on governments
to boycott the Olympics. President Biden does not support a country
boycott of the Olympics, but has left it to individual athletes to decide
whether to boycott the 2022 Olympics. Do you think the president is
correct? What would you do as an Olympic athlete? Remember, it takes
years of training just to qualify for the Olympics.
11. A Mars-Wrigley spokeswoman said, “We strongly support the Olympics
vision of building a better world through sport,” Do you think she supports
a boycott?
12.
How often do the Winter Olympics take place?
13. At the end of the article the authors say that money "speaks louder"
than social justice and the corporations will “be silent" about China's
human rights issues. Do you think the corporations will not say anything
against China so that they can gain millions in profits?

Answer:

10. I believe the president is right because the athletes should have the right to decide wether or not they feel comfortable going to the Olympics in 2022. It would be wrong and unethical to make the decision for them.

11. I believe the spokesperson does not support the boycott because she is not acknowledging it directly. Also, the spokesperson states “We strongly support the Olympics vision of building a better world through sport,”. This supports my claim because it looks like rather than acknowledging she is indirectly giving the idea that she believes the Winter Olympics should take place. Even though current circumstances.

12. The Winter Olympics occur once every four years.

13. I believe that corporations will not speak out about China’s human rights issues due to the great profits they make. This is proven with multiple instances, the biggest being with Apple. It might be good to state that Apple has moved their manufacturing to Vietnam due to complications between China and The USA. China’s minimum wage is much lower than Vietnam’s. Apple did not speak up because at the time Apple thought there was no other option but China. The company would be ruined if they had to speak out about these issues. There were so many possibilities of what could happen to Apple, we’re they to take that risk. China could ban them from manufacturing products there. I think that they were not speaking out about these problems due to the risks and many other companies are not also.

Hope this helps!
