Answer to Question 1

Hiring H-1B workers may be considered unethical because:

• Heavy reliance on the use of H-1B workers can lessen the incentive for U.S. companies to educate and develop their own workforces.


• Some companies use H-1B visas as a way to lower salaries.


• Some employers may lie on their H-1B applications to take advantage of the program.

Some of the advantages of hiring H-1B workers include:

• H-1B workers are used to obtain essential technical skills and knowledge that is not readily found in the U.S., and tend to be used when there is a critical business need for these skills.


• H-1B professionals provide special expertise in overseas markets or on projects that enable U.S. businesses to compete globally.


• H-1B admissions appear to directly improve levels of innovation and entrepreneurship, which in the long term should create new jobs and raise demand for technology workers in other areas.

Due to the lack of English speaking skills, H-1B workers often isolate themselves and stop trying to adapt, which can hurt a project teams morale and lead to division.

Answer to Question 2

Three of the many social shopping Web sites are:

• Buzzillionswill not rent, sell, or disclose personal information to third parties without users consent.


• Crowdstormwill never sell users personal data to anyone and states that users can have their personal data removed from their site at any time by giving them a 30 day notice.


• Kaboodledoes not sell or rent users personal information to third parties for marketing purposes, however if users elect to become a fan, they may get in-system messages containing commercial and promotional messages.
