Discuss how companies such as Exxon, Kodak, and IBM helped improve human rights in South Africa.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: South Africa practiced an apartheid system, which denied basic political rights to the majority nonwhite population of the country, mandated segregation between whites and nonwhites, reserved certain occupations exclusively for whites, and prohibited blacks from being placed in positions where they would manage whites. These companies divested their South African operations, which, coupled with the imposition of sanctions, contributed to the abandonment of white minority rule and apartheid in the country. Ultimately, adopting an ethical stance was argued to have helped improve human rights in South Africa.
