MWP 3 Article #1



             The journal Business and Human Rights in South America: An Analysis of Antecedents of Human Rights Due Diligence by Ralph Hamann, Peresha Sinha, Farai Kapfudzaruwa, and Christoph Schild presents an analysis of certain South African businesses and what they consider to be human rights in order to demonstrate that race is and has been for a long time been a major factor in business.  The authors begin by defining human rights in the business arena as according to The United Nations.  The main content of this article is an analysis of the Johannesburg Stock Exchanges top 100 companies and their outlook on human rights.  They present this information in order to demonstrate how the South African Government, up until the last 3 years, has has capped businesses on who they can hire and that it was strongly race based-Black-Africans were horribly discriminated against.  The intended audience for this particular journal is anyone that may be interested in the race wars in economics or businesses in South Africa.
