Premises from the Articles: Are Ethical Values Ethical?; Ethical Dilemmas for Multinational Enterprise: A Philosophical Overview
P1: Moral Relativism dictates that what is right in one country is not necessarily what is right in another. Similarly, just because something is wrong in one country, it may not be wrong in another.

P2: The Moral Ideals for any one country is ultimately determined by the people of that country. The US should not pass judgment on those ideals of another country, based on our own.
P3: Our increased knowledge has lead us to the conclusion that there is no one moral code that can be universally regarded as being right by all people in the world. The US may not feel that the Tris pajamas are morally ethical, due to the risks they pose, but it is possible that another country may see this differently.
P4: Some people may argue that sending Tris pajamas to Third World countries, violates a God-given commandment, with regard to not harming others.
