Amultinational company is accused of paying bribes to the government of a host country to obtain permission to build a production factory. the public relations manager of the company defends the company's actions as being ethically sound; he states that in the host country, paying bribes to government officials is the accepted norm and is in keeping with the social practices in the host country. the public relations manager is using which of the following philosophical doctrines to defend the actions of the company? a. the friedman doctrineb. righteous moralistc. noblesse obliged. cultural relativism

The answer is: D) Cultural relativism

Explanation:

In business, cultural relativism refers to the belief that a company´s activities should be understood in terms of the culture it operates in.

In other words, the actions of the foreign division of a company should not be judged based on the culture where the parent company operates, but rather by the culture where the subsidiary operates in (foreign country).

Besides the morality of the actions, if the parent company operates in the US, this action (bribery) is illegal and the management of both parent and subsidiary could face criminal charges. That doesn´t apply for European of Asian multinational corporations.

multiculturalism is a particular subject of debate in certain european nations that are associated with the idea of a single nation within their country. critics of multiculturalism may argue against cultural integration of different ethnic and cultural groups to the existing laws and values of the country.

so yes, multiculturalism can (and usually does) result in the host country/continent losing its culture, identity and linguistics, especially due to the raw numbers of demographic transitions.
