Yanıt Açıklaması:

MNCs have long been subject to serious discussions. Advocates of MNCs argue that they create job opportunities for many and technologically advanced goods. It is also said that MNCs tend to establish operations in markets where their capital is most efficient or wages are lowest. By producing the same quality of goods at lower costs, multinationals reduce prices and increase the purchasing power of consumers worldwide. Some liberal economists go further than extolling the economic benefits of MNCs, pointing a positive relationship between the international liberal economy and peace. It is argued that through enhanced international trade and growing interdependence, national differences would vanish and increasing economic well-being would eventually lead to world peace (Mingst and Arreguin-Toft, 2011). Those opposed to MNCs, on the other hand, say that multinationals have undue political influence over governments, exploit developing nations, and create job losses in their own home countries. In addition, they argue that MNCs tend to develop a monopoly for certain products, driving up prices for consumers. MNCs are also said to have a detrimental effect on the environment because their operations may encourage land development and the depletion of local resources. Moreover, the introduction of multinationals into a host country’s economy may lead to the downfall of smaller, local businesses as well, since MNCs have better products and they can afford to even offer them at lower prices, as they have the financial resources to buy in bulk. Some critics further claim that MNCs breach ethical standards, accusing them of evading ethical laws and leveraging their business agenda with capital (Evans, 1979; Dunning, 1981). As also understood from the information given, the correct answer is C. The arguments in the option IV “Multinationals have undue political influence over governments, exploit developing nations, and create job losses in their own home countries.”, in the option V “MNCs are also said to have a detrimental effect on the environment because their operations may encourage land development and the depletion of local resources.” and in the option VI “The introduction of multinationals into a host country’s economy may lead to the downfall of smaller, local businesses as well, since MNCs have better products and they can afford to even offer them at lower prices, as they have the financial resources to buy in bulk.” can be expressed by the one who is opposed to MNCs. The arguments in the option I “MNCs create job opportunities for many and technologically advanced goods.”, in the option II “By producing the same quality of goods at lower costs, multinationals reduce prices and increase the purchasing power of consumers worldwide.” And in the option III “Through enhanced international trade and growing interdependence, national differences would vanish and increasing economic well-being would eventually lead to world peace.” can be expressed by the advocate of MNCs, not the one who is opposed to MNCs.
