Looking at the studies made by academic agencies and the article released by Associated Press, it was since 2000s when Toyota first encountered vehicle incidents. The involved vehicle was Toyota Yaris and Lexus wherein the acceleration happens and airbags of the Yaris units were not fully functioning causing deaths and accidents for the customers. The manufacturer did not give much attention on scrutinizing the case; and instead they have falsely publicly disclosed that the “main” cause of acceleration was the floor mats without undergoing intense product checking since they were avoiding defect examinations. Looking on how big Toyota has become, they gave so much importance on the company’s market sales reputation. Based on reports, Toyota admitted that they only had a minimal check and redesigning on the engine and floor mats since they do not want to give commotion in the market and it would give less consumers for them. Ethical issue was really present since they deserted the safety of its consumers and they were egocentric enough that only gave importance to its reputation and profit. Wherein in all cases of businesses, it is the immoral thing to do. And during those years, it was mentioned that Toyota had delayed recalls in order to avoid one time massive recalling of

Gladwell uses many critical points within the Civil Rights Movement to support his claim—the most notable of which is of the Greensboro sit-ins. In the early ‘60s, “seventy thousand students,” all across the South and Southwest took part in these revolutionary demonstrations (Gladwell). By this time Jim Crow laws were well in effect; the South and Southwest were plagued by racial discrimination and segregation. The consequences of disobeying these laws were brutally severe: unjust arrests, beatings, lynching’s, and even murder were subjected upon the African American community. Oppositionists, such as the Ku Klux Klan, retaliated in the form of violence and intimidation. Despite the grave risks involved, demonstrators heeded the call to action because they were deeply and personally connected to the cause. However, this radical assemblage of protestors did not occur on a whim or by chance. Instead, it all began when four black college students decided to risk their safety—and possibly their lives—by defying the discriminatory beliefs and norms embedded within the fabric of American society. Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, David Richmond, and Ezell Blair were all close friends. They spent nights together chugging beers and woefully discussed the injustices that pervaded their lives. These interactions were personal, direct, and intimate. Their interactions were not limited by the obscurities of text messaging, emoticons, acronyms, or ominous punctuations. Likewise, their
