You would like to get your company's product into North Korea to sell to its residents. Before you can do that, however, you need the approval of North Korean customs officials. You have learned through the grapevine that North Korean customs officials expect a direct payment from you to them to get approval. This would be an illegal bribe if it were made to a U.S. customs official, but suppose such a transaction is commonplace in North Korea.

1. Do you make the payment?


2. If your boss says to pay the money, should you do it?


3. What potential legal problems are presented by these payments?

Be sure to draft your answers in paragraph form, discussing each question thoroughly. You will also need to reply substantively to a classmates' posting. Remember that the questions may be asking you for your opinion, and not necessarily a specific answer from the text. Use your new knowledge to work it out!
