Answer 1

From an economic standpoint, outsourcing is good. It allows industrialised nations to purchase goods and services at a lower price. Also, despite the exodus of jobs to other countries from America, jobs have continued to grow, Citizens are becoming educated in different fields, and our incomes rise every years, even if we still think that we aren't getting what we are worth.

From a humanitarian standpoint, sweat shops are not a good thing. However, we have little control over that because we cannot override the sovereignty of another nation. This starts a huge political argument. Do we have the right to free some people and not others? Either we extend Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to all or we extend to none. Should we exert our power over India or China for the sake of human dignity, but not to Iraq? I think that this nation needs to decide on a coherent course of action. To we strive to make all men free, or do we fall back to our shores and turn a deaf ear to the rest of the world.

I think that, to take a current issue, we should be in Iraq, but also in Darfur. Freedom is not inclusive. Free trade and outsourcing labour are great ideas and offer a lot to America, the industrialised nations of the world and offer a new hope for third-world nations. Once we develop them economically, then we can build them democratically.

Answer 2

Although outsourcing has helped the u.s. economy and helped industrialized other nations, it may be the problem with the economy. Besides having impoverished people work in poor conditions for little pay it has also possibly led to the growth in the gap between the rich and the poor. As jobs are outsourced and business grow, the upper middle class, the businessman, make more and more until they become part of the upper class. The lower middle class which was once the American worker have lost their jobs and become part of the lower class leading to the disaperrance of the middle class.

Answer 3

So the new pickup truck factory that Toyota (a Japanese company) built in San Antonio, Texas (not a Japanese city) is a "sweat shop"? That will come as a surprise to the people who now work there.

Answer 4

I am against it because there is nothing ethically moral about making people work for hours on end for hardly any money to make some rich mogul richer.
