OBHR 330 Exam 3 DiscussionQuestions: Chapter 7, 9 and 11
What is it about human beings to make us want to go to a bar where everybody knows our name? -
correct answer ✔✔We want to feel connected to the people around us. We strive to find that social
capital. We go to a bar in order to feel comfortable. There is a high trust level because they know you
and you know them. ***
What is so special about such a place ("Cheers" bar)? - correct answer ✔✔camaraderie (chemistry)
These are people that you can go to voice your concerns about problems and get through problems
together.
Human beings are social, good to hang out with friends.
There's familiarity. You feel a lot more safe when everyone knows you and are glad that you are there.
You get to know each person's preferences (likes and dislikes). You get to connect with people on a
deeper level.
It's really unique and rare where everyone in the bar would know your name (inimitable). The bar is like
a community and has a sense of belonging. ***
What is so repugnant about such a place? - correct answer ✔✔People know your name but don't
actually know you
Image and reputation within the place (can have a bad reputation that is amplified if everyone knows
your name)
,You're problems can be displayed for everyone to know (will know to talk about you behind your back,
gossiping)
When you're down you want to go to a place where nobody knows your name or who you are. It's nice
to have a fresh start.
You can get bored being around the same people.
Everyone at the bar is an alcoholic. People are coping with their problems with alcohol, which is bad.
Nothing is going right. This doesn't solve their problems. People are not trying to fix their problems and
not with family, people who are important to your life. Probably not good friends if drinking.***
How does this discussion about a bar named Cheers relate to the concept of social capital? - correct
answer ✔✔social capital: network of relationships among people who live and work in a particular
society, enabling that society to function effectively
Answer:
People build connections and trust when drinking, are more open
You see so many people at a bar (everyone at the bar is within social network: social capital)
People in bar can help you work through bad thing and be there for you if everyone knows your
problems. Can count on people asking for help if everyone knows you. You can count on people and
depend on people. All going to the bar allows connection with people. Can rely on people for help. Can
bond over negative things and allow people to function in society by helping other out when they need
it. ****
Why is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) such an important element of Patagonia's culture? - correct
answer ✔✔Creates high brand recognition for people to work there and for people to buy their products
, because Patagonia doesn't take advantage of human labor. (gets good press and good promotion and
calls out businesses who use sweatshops: Walmart, which helps their press)
Products are more expensive as a result of their corporate social responsibility so have to advertise this
to show why goods are more expensive
Patagonia is transparent because sweatshops are such a big part of the textile industry (Triangle fire
because of bad conditions of sweatshops with women being locked in. This fire looms over industry).
This is not a marketing gimmick: Patagonia is really doing these efforts. You can recycle Patagonia and get
money back : corporate social responsibility for the environment.***
What is a living wage? Why is it important? - correct answer ✔✔Living wage:
a. minimum income of an employee needed to meet basic needs (food, housing, clothing, basic
essentials)
i. different depending on where you live
ii. high when more people in family and have to support them
Living wage is important:
a. Wage that people need to survive (afford basic necessities)
b. Companies would get a horrible reputation and would have a hard time getting workers if companies
don't pay a living wage at least. You get better workers and higher worker morale if pay higher wages
(even living wage compared to minimum wage)
What is civil society? Why does Patagonia find it crucial to have a strong engagement with civil society to
address issues facing migrant workers, pursuing living wages, and ensuring workers have a voice in their
workplace? - correct answer ✔✔Civil society: It is the third sector (not public or private), anything not
involved with the government: Church groups, school, nonprofit organizations
Why does Patagonia...
Patagonia doesn't own any of their factories; a lot of them are overseas, so it is important to understand
other cultures and work with civil societies and if they have migrant workers to work with organizations
that help migrant workers with living wages and help them have voices. This goes hand in hand with
