What is Bangladesh?
"A trip to Bangladesh changed my view. Corruption was so rampant in Bangladesh that the government did not enforce standards. However, large buyers, such as Walmart and JC Penny, have staff in Dacca that have the right to inspect factories of suppliers, without notice, and to review financial records and talk to employees. These companies enforce standards: mandatory lunchroom, nurse on staff if more than 200 employees, no underage labour, and the legal minimum wage must be honoured. A factory failing these standards loses the contract. I have come to believe that corruption is a primary enabler of poverty, and what is terrible about it is that the corrupt are stealing from the poorest of the poor. One of my retirement projects is to research how Malaysia reduced corruption; I heard anecdotally that at one point it asked a foreign country to run its customs, in order to clear out all staff there and start over."
We know all about this but I am so much shocked because I am the only Bangladeshi student in that class and the class teacher mailed this information to 150 students as solved assignment. Can't we do something for Bangladesh so that no one can make any bad comments about our country?
