Quarter 2 Assignment 1- Male London Factory Worker (I. Iannotti)
I've been working in the factory for as long as I can remember now. My suffering has continued, but my family is getting by due to the fact that all of us work everyday. Shifting jobs overseas is the worst possible thing that could happen to my family and I during tough times like these. We have been making barely enough money to survive. Our friends, home, and family are the only stable things we have. Leaving this place of torture is like leaving a place of comfort, as well. I have adapted to the conditons that I live in and moving to a new place and losing the little stability that may family and I have is a scary thing to think about. The people that want to ship jobs overseas are taking one thing into account, money. However, it the lives of my family and of many other people that they would be destroying. All I am asking is that people think less about profit and more about how this movement of jobs would ruin lives of the lower class. I can't imagine losing the place I live after already losing so much because of this Industial Revolution.

ReplyDeleteI understand what your saying but I disagree with it. I think they should shift jobs overseas. I'm sorry you will lose your job, but you have to think that you were even lucky enough to have a job in the first place. Every day I see people homeless on the streets, starving to death and fighting to stay alive. They don't have food because they don't have jobs, and they don't have a home because even the tenements are overflowing. The quicker we can get more resources and open some jobs, the faster the over population rate will drop. Clearly the only solution is to shift jobs overseas. It will certainly be worth it in the long run.
