Need some help

[Galatian 6:2]

Hi guys/girls. I was wondering if you could give me some help. I'm doing a paper for my business communications class. The object is to do a class presentation and paper recommending a company to invest in. I'm hoping to be satirical by suggesting a company as a good investment by how much they exploit the workers, environment and etc. So if anyone could point me to some companies or websites I would appreciate it.

Damn, I knew I should have started writing up my "project" of an outline on the major capitalist institutions in the world.

But if you really want a good (and very much horrifying) paper, I suggest you do one on DeBeers. It is the largest diamond corporation in the world, and not only "exploits" poor Africans from Sierra-Leone, but helps the cutting off of their limbs.

For good information, go to the following for text:

If you want to watch a couple of excellent videos, go to the following:

And try searching for some information on DeBeers in regards to their exploitation of Africans. Trust me -- you won't find a better company to do this report on, especially if you were to take into consideration that these diamonds are actually worthless rocks whose only value is acting as scientific tools.

An excellent suggestion. By coincidence, DeBeers made the news this morning...


Botswana strikers 'being evicted'

Workers taking part in an illegal strike at Botswana's largest diamond mining firm are being evicted from company-owned homes, unions have said.

Botswana is the world's largest producer of uncut diamonds and Debswana, which is owned by diamond giant De Beers and the Botswana government, operates four diamond mines.

I don't think I could think of a better company to a paper on. Awesome choice.
