Completely. Companies need to have more respect for their workers, and not enough western countries follow this, and as such prevents much of the rest of the world to keep up unless they do the same (i.e. entire supposedly 'communist' countries basically behaving like one big corporation, even though that is not what communism truly is. The same goes for environmentalism. Much of the west do not care about this, and again encourages others to follow. For example, I really dislike the hyper-consumerism sites that are developing from China, but they're only trying to get a piece of the pie, taking advantage of the negative habits of other parts of the world. even with such a move by China, they have made a point of ensuring as much of a reduction of their carbon footprint as they can, something we aren't doing at all.
