One company that has a strong corporate social responsibility is Dawn the dish detergent. They use the campaign Dawns Help Save Wildlife. The animals include otters, ducks, and birds, Dawn uses its sensitive yet powerful detergent to help clean the animals that have been affected by oil spills so that they can survive. This allows for our animals to remain safe and preserving their life. This makes my family support the company more because we know that Dawn truly cares about the environment by using their product to help preserve our animals.

The development of monopolies instead of a competitive business market introduced new problems by the American Industrial Revolution by engaging in practices to ensure greater control of the market. Whatever it took is what they did.

One that stood out the most was John D. Rockefeller, an American business mogul ad philanthropist. He is considered one of the wealthiest Americans of all times, and the richest person in modern history. Rockefeller was smart because he knew how to create essential control of the products wholesale distribution and retail marketing. Because of his wealth he established outlets that were able to drive other competitors out of business making it able for him to set prices and demand of products in his market. This caused the great test for the government to put limits on business of how much control they would have.
Today I think Google is undoubtedly one of the largest monopolies in the world. The company controls several markets in the search and advertising. Google can be considered a monopoly because its profitability with more than 60% of its market share. Although Bing is its closest search competitor, they cannot compete because they dont have the user data Google has.
