McDonalds and Cooperate Responsibility

In today’s world, multinationals are growing and expanding at a huge rate. Most of the companies today are owned by huge colossal company empires. All lot has been said about the negatives of these companies. But, these companies are not all bad; most of them have huge social programs and charities for poverty and children. There are 61,000 multinationals, with more than 900,000 affiliates worldwide. Their revenue represents approximately one-tenth of the world's gross domestic product. There is so much criticism about multinationals. Such as: destroying the environment, animal cruelty, advertising and nutrition. McDonalds is one of those companies that had been downgraded and fought against. Such as the huge public case made against it named “McLibel Trial”. This trial was very devastating for McDonalds. Multinationals tend globalize the country that they are in, by increasing the transfer of information and technology and higher employment for the people of that country. I feel although McDonalds may do a lot of bad things, they do a lot of good things. They support charity and poverty stricken people all over the world
