A Toronto-based international student is speaking out about the crowded, neglected, and

uncomfortable living conditions. Response

The video depicts how the living situations of international students residing in Toronto

might be linked to business criticism and corporate response in several ways.

Business Critique. The student's living circumstances may be seen as a criticism of the

housing provider's business policies and processes. If the housing provider is a private company,

it may face criticism for failing to meet its obligations to its tenants, providing living conditions

that fall short of acceptable standards, and prioritizing profit over customer well-being. It is

possible that this critique may expand to the effective corporate environment, calling into

question the morality and social responsibility of firms and organizations in general.

Corporate Response: The video allows the housing provider to respond to earlier

criticism. The corporation has responded to the criticism. Depending on the conditions, the firm

might react in various ways. In response to the claims, the corporation can deny them, prove that

it has tried to remedy the situation, or take responsibility and decide to do things differently. The

efficacy of the corporate reaction may impact the organization's reputation and future business.

The housing provider is specifically targeted for criticism because they are accountable

for delivering living circumstances below acceptable norms. It is critical to comprehend the

potential ramifications of criticism. It is not just about living conditions; it is also about the

company's ethics, social responsibilities, and service level to its customers. The film serves as a

case study in business criticism and corporate response, offering unique insights into the

connections between organizations, the people they serve, and society.
