I could barely finish watching the   Disney video.  I am tired of companies saying, "Cost of living is not the same as in the United States”.
  Yes, it is “A dollar is a dollar” everywhere.  You cannot  support a  family on  $1.25 a day/week  in the  United States  and  you cannot  do it  anywhere  else.   
Offshoring is about taken advantage of those who are less fortunate and the corruption of those other countries. 
Most of these companies hire contractors, to hire factory workers, in order to turn a blind eye and to claim ignorance.  This is a  global issue, these  company  feel  they are doing these  people  a favor ( this money  is better  than  nothing)..  Heck it is nothing.    
This is just disgraceful and it should be a crime to profit off the tears of others.

Reducing the risk of assault

There  are  several steps  that can be taken to avoid the risk of  assault.
According to (Alexander, LaRosa, Bader, Garfield, & Alexander, 2010)  one  should be  wary:  of  relationship that is based on  classic stereotypes of  dominant and  when a  date tries to control behavior or pressure others.  One  must be  clear  with communication, especially  when saying  “NO”,   avoid going on a  first date  with a stranger alone, avoid  remote or isolate spot, limit alcohol and illegal drug use.   Taken these steps will assist with reduce the risk of assault.
Another step is going out with responsible friends/ girlfriends.   I hate to see a group of girls go out and they do not look out for each other.  One had too much to drink and the others are nowhere to be found.   Also, I am a firm believer of   “we came together, we leave together”.
