His projects like “One laptop per child” and “See better to learn better” have made me realize my social responsibility as a product designer.

For one of my recent projects, through research, I learnt that expiry dates on milk cartons are mere approximations. Misguided by these inaccurate expiry dates, consumers dispose thousands of gallons of fresh milk every year.
The increasing of China’s food safety Recently, more and more people are claiming that they started to lose the faith in the food quality in China. However, I still held the different opinion from them: despite the alarming media regarding food safety that could cause people to disbelieve government, the quality of Chinese food supplies is actually increasing since the proportion of food that follow the food regulation is increasing. The reasons for me to belief that China’s food quality is actually improving in these years because that the proportion of food that follow the food regulation are increasing. The governments are also taking the current situation of the food safety seriously and more and more citizens start to show concern about food safety. What is more, there still have some special effect of improvement to the food safety in China which is offering the changing in the point of view of other country to China.
Another posted, "700,000 people, quiet, clean air, no pollution, democracy — what are you waiting for?” What is who waiting for?

POI: Despite this rhetoric, the last two decades have seen almost a billion people lifted out of poverty in Asia, because private companies have an incentive to unlock an unskilled and uneducated work force, that they otherwise wouldn't. We refuse that premise.
Document A shows us how from the time the Policy started it has not positively affected their population crisis it has only worsened it. In Document B we see a different way of the situation. Document B they argue that China’s One-Child Policy has been working by saying that in 1970 the fertility rate was 5.8 but by 1979 it lowered down to 2.7. Nevertheless this is true after 1980 China’s population started to increase again. By using Document’s A/B we can see that China’s One-Child Policy has not helped china’s population in any way it has only worsened its
Similar to Loblaw’s, Walmart uses a board of committee members who meet annually to evaluate climate change risks that can impact the company. The process on how Walmart integrates these ideas into business is more complex and detailed with it’s three core elements; opportunity, community and sustainability. Walmart also considers climate change on the corporate level, risk assessment and business energy level. In considering how much more complete Walmart’s response is in comparison to Loblaw’s, it is fitting that Walmart received a higher carbon disclosure ranking of 92% (Gomez, 2015). Metro’s complete carbon disclosure project, was not made public, but company scored an 89% which was higher than Loblaw’s score.

The status of Chinese women in the workplace The communist party has attempted to liberate the workforce, they promoting women work and equality between men and women. In the last decade, the government proposed the goal of building a “Harmonious Society”, following with a series of social security system projects and various welfare programs. Those policies have greatly contributed to the reduction of social inequality. According to The Economist (2011), in 2010, Chinese women labour- force participation rate is almost 70%, which is the first in the world.
Since last year, the country has become the company’s biggest market, and the iPhone even became China’s biggest-selling phone for a few months earlier this year. But the challenges are increasing. There are several reasons that apple was successful in China, whereas its competitors, such as Google have failed.

In China, “the population controls have kept sulfur dioxide emissions down by 17.6% and reduced water shortages by 30.8%. If people in Henan didn’t have the policy, they wouldn’t have near as much land. (Document C). The environment needs help all around the world and the one-child policy is doing just that.

In the source used, Thomas Hayden’s (2002) article, “Trashing the Oceans”, the ethos argument is persuasive in its wording because of its easy to understand, inviting nature and relatability, while still informing the reader about the disturbing information coming from the accounts of a research vessel that goes by the title Alguita, a vessel that has been studying the oceanic garbage since 1999. This article has already displayed all three arguments of logos, pathos and ethos in just a few paragraphs. The compared article, written by John H. Tibbetts “Managing Marine Plastic Pollution” does not do this. An example of the ethos attributes of “Trashing the Oceans” is the introduction pertaining to Taco bell.
