Only answer one question, either A or B. Although not necessary, you can do supplemental research from external sources.
A. (Vulnerable women and sweatshops) In developing countries, women are often at a disadvantage in any sweatshop environment for various reasons. There may be dependencies, prejudices, or exploitation and as a result have higher vulnerabilities. Provide five distinctly different points to explain how and why women are inherently vulnerable compared with others (e.g., men, more affluent women, etc.) in a sweatshop. For each point, after explaining a) how women are vulnerable, also explain b) why they are vulnerable by explaining i) the underlying conditions that create the vulnerability and ii) the possible extent or consequences of that vulnerability.
B. (Vulnerable elderly and marketing) In telemarketing and door-to-door sales, elderly people are often the target of marketing tactics that cause them to purchase products or services that they do not need and they cannot refund. Provide five distinctly different points to explain how and why certain elderly may be inherently vulnerable to marketing activity compared with others (e.g., younger, better supported people). For each point, after explaining a) how the elderly are vulnerable, also explain b) why they are vulnerable by explaining i) the underlying conditions that create the vulnerability and ii) the possible extent or consequences of that vulnerability.
Here is an example of vulnerability that you may not use for your activity: "Women are less able to resist physical aggression or feel secure in the face of physical threats" (this is the how they are vulnerable). "Women are physiologically smaller compared with men and have lower muscle strength and endurance, on average" (this is the why they are vulnerable based on underlying conditions). "This means that they can be subjected to coercion to do unwanted or unsafe tasks, or even experience sexual or physical abuse from those who have a physical advantage."
