WEEK #1
Does everybody matter in Appiah’s world of cosmopolitan? What about people within corporate America’s supply chains? How would his principles be applied?

Yes, everyone does matter in Appiah’s world of cosmopolitanism because every person in this universe for as little or insignificant their contribution to society might be positive or negative, it’s still a contribution. Also, according to Appiah’s the first strand of cosmopolitanism: “is the recognition of our responsibility for every human being.”

People within corporate America’s supply chain have set values, well at least some, which allow them to make decisions and allow them to present their product or service to the American public with a certain message or image. The corporate values built within or adapted by people within corporate America’s supply chain include several aspects like profit, which is primary in any business. Also, domination in their industry, which permits a specific business to become conquer of a specific product or service. Certain values that really make business stand out and/or remain in the positive perspective of the public are traits like worker safety, social responsibility and mainly quality of products and services.

Appiah’s principles of cosmopolitanism can be applied to individuals of corporate America’s supply chain by allowing individuals in these influential positions to become more aware and conscious of the public, their differences and specific needs and wants.
