- This article is an article basically comparing America in this issue to Switzerland. Switzerland is making a new policy to be voted on that executives in Swiss companies should be payed twelve times as much as the lowest paid employee in the company. This would be a 1:12 ration for Switzerland's. On the contrary, America's executive to lowest paid employee is 1:148.
- I think that Switzerland making this effort is again showing off their courteous nature. This expresses fairness within a whole company and is reflecting on this country as a kind and considerate one. America on the contrary has a 1:148 rather than Switzerland's 1:12. This expresses such greed of Americans. America should definitely take Switzerland's good deed attempt seriously and try to match it.
- This article relates to Switzerland's political life because of the voting that is being taken to see if this policy should be put in favor. Votes of a total population count in every government. If not at least a half of the population is in favor of it, it will not come out as effective.
