    Ah, corporate responsibility. If only all businesses had the kind of moral standards and respect for their employees which American Apparel does. But for all the good American Apparel has done in setting the precedent for ethical manufacturing and fair treatment of its employees, a bit of digging will reveal a hiring practice where prospective employees are evaluated on their appearance, their resumé only a distant afterthought when it comes to hiring and firing decisions.

  • REVIEW: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

    By September 16, 2010

    I grew up questioning the authorship of To Kill a Mockingbird. I did not believe Harper Lee wrote it. I didn’t even think that she could have written it. It was too good and too profound.

  • Diversity is important to every culture

    By September 16, 2010

    In the last week we have all watched while news of a small religious community in Florida has captured the world’s attention. The plans of the Dove World Outreach Centre to burn copies of the Qur’an were met with surprise, outrage, condemnation and mockery.
