Write up to 3 paragraphs that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

Previously, these were problems or issues that were present in the United States. Fortunately, the legal system and regulations, for the most part, have made these issues a thing of the past.

State your opinion as to the impact of conducting business with these countries and the ramifications of doing so.

What should be the legal and ethical reaction of the business community for these types of violations?
