on is also part of the story. Enjoying the freedoms of the new India, many of its citizens have left traditional village life, but they have not found a new set of ethics in urban areas. When the accused go unpunished or justice takes forever to be delivered, it makes rape a way of life for Indian men. I am one of those Westerners amused by Indias rapid growth and expanding social mobility. I lived in New Delhi while reporting on the country from 2002 to 2007, when there were hundreds of documented incidents of sexual violence in the capital. Delhi accounted for one-quarter of all rapes recorded in India in 2011. When I lived there, Indian women regularly urged me to move elsewhere— anywhere!—calling Delhi "Indias rape capital" and telling me terrifying stories of how unsafe the city was. Of course, most Delhi residents dont have the option to leave, nor do they want to. The citys population has swelled with migrants from Indias poor rural areas. For them, Delhi represents opportunity. About 350 million Indians now live in cities, and an additional 250 million are expected to move to urban areas in the next two decades. Call centers and the hospitality sector in the capital have created jobs for even the slightly educated, making the middle-class dream seem more attainable than ever. However, Indias rural migrants do not find the education and work opportunities they expect in cities. Poverty, low social status and gender still prevent many from advancing. The parents of the 23-year-old rape victim, who died a week ago, had moved the family to a middle-class New Delhi neighborhood from a poor village. This family, having sold land to help send her to college, had placed hopes in her, who had urged her two younger brothers to follow her to college. Having recently qualified as a trainee physiotherapist in a private Delhi hospital, she landed herself in a solidly middle-class profession. It makes sense that this attack happened in Delhi, which appears to welcome modern women who go to college and work outside the home. They are vulnerable to sexual harassment or violence. But the city is not nearly as open as advertised. Because it is filled with rural migrants who speak dozens of languages and represent every class and religion, the city seems conflicted about what is acceptable.
Sexual violence is flourishing in New Delhi for the following reasons EXCEPT______.
A.traditional inferiority of women
B.fast changes and transformation
C.inefficient and time-consuming rape trials
D.the high rate of unemployment in this city

usinesses are growing based on the fact that every product they sell is manufactured right here in the United States. Most newer businesses are for products made and marketed locally, such as a dog biscuit brand out of San Luis Obispo, but old standards like Unionwear are still going strong. In fact, Unionwear owner has had a whole host of new customers calling him. The fact that more consumers are seeking out American-made products in greater numbers is a good thing for business owners. That means that they will be willing to pay a little bit more for your products and services—as long as you capitalize on the fact that your products were made here. The shift back to treasuring American-made goods follows several horrific disasters in factories overseas. Coupled with the publics strong desire to see the American economy rise again, many consumers are looking for products made in the U.S.A., even if they cost a bit more. Even Walmart is making an effort to carry more domestically made goods in stores. Ultimately, your customers want to buy things without having to wonder if a small child made it for just pennies a day. This renewed passion for domestic products is great for businesses. Forecasters predict that labor costs in China are going to rise, which means that the country will no longer be the center of cheap manufacturing. If the cost of Chinese labor surges, it will no longer be cost-efficient for companies to ship their manufacturing jobs overseas. If your business is not already manufacturing domestically, maybe now is the time you should start. If your business already makes its products in the United States, now is a great time for marketing. When you are reminding potential customers that your products are America-made, be sure to be clear. False patriotism will turn your customers off, even if you have a great product. The fact that consumers are seeking American products with renewed intensity encourages all business owners to take advantage of this passion by cleverly marketing the fact that you are a domestic or local business. With patriotic summer holidays upon us, why not have a sale to capitalize on your companys patriotic support of the American economy? Your customers will love it and so will you.
