In my opinion, the impact that Zimbabwe has on human rights relating to the apparel industries is given by the environment without rules (or rather with only one rule, that given by President Mugabe) and a framework where fundamental human rights are not respected. In such a framework, it is highly unlikely that entities will keep watch of labour conditions in the apparel industry, for example, or on child employment in similar industries. The watch is directed towards issues perceived as being more important, such as providing political pluralism and freedom of speech.
It is not difficult to make recommendations in this sense. If there is a will to act, the U.S. And Western authorities can impose bans on imports from countries such as Zimbabwe, where human rights records are at their lowest.

Cultural Pluralism Describe how citizens of the United States foster a climate of acceptance and cultural pluralism. American citizens foster cultural acceptance from their attitudes, beliefs and traditions. What is happening is a number of different areas within American society are based upon European customs and traditions. These ideas have become integrated as a standard part of the mainstream culture. Over the course of time, these values were combined with ideological principles
As Mitchell points out however, this criterion can overlook the major differences between the cultures that form the Hispanic group, and the multicultural curriculum should ensure the recognition of these basic differences. (Mitchell, 102) However, this emphasis on difference that is characteristic of the contemporary ethnic studies is not to be taken as a form of absolute belonging or encapsulation of an individual in a certain culture. Multicultural education aims
Efforts in Australia to change this condition have on many levels been met with controversy and resistance, such as it demonstrated in the article by Clarke (2005). This would address the debate over the emergence of support for laws punishing 'racial vilification' at the public level. Prompting free speech debates and simulating an already robust debate over racial issues in Australia, this discussion highlights the inherent challenge of changing attitudes
The argument that racial, ethnic and religious prejudices have long sustained problematic social hierarchies has precipitated a type of multiculturalism that is designed to compensate those who are not of the hegemonic culture. In Australia, the article by James (1998) argues, this is producing a social and political backlash that has actually been to the detriment of its immigrant population and its cultural identity in simultaneity. According to the article
Pluralism In general terms, pluralism implies the interrelationship between diverse groups. As a term, the same can also be used to represent a wide range of diverse views. In this text, I concern myself with pluralism, that is, its meaning and what working in a pluralistic environment means. Pluralism & Working in a Pluralistic Environment Literary, pluralism can be taken to denote 'more than one.' Hence at the organizational level, pluralism could simply
Cultural Assimilation According to The Mosby Medical Encyclopedia, cultural assimilation is a process by which members of an ethnic minority group lose cultural characteristics that separate them from the main cultural group (Cultural pp). In the September 22, 2000 issue of Daedalus, Dorothy Steele writes that the assimilation of millions of immigrants into one society is what defines America, however in the shadows, millions of nonimmigrant minorities, such as African-Americans, Native American
