Jeremy Bentham (E. Kalander)
Shifting our jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor
sources and natural resources is not, by any standards, the right path for our
economy to follow. By moving overseas, we are loosing large homegrown
corporations, which will not only decrease our citizens national pride, but
will also force many hard workers onto the streets. We should not take pride
for granted. Pride in your country is equivalent to happiness. Keeping the
citizens happy should be our number one goal, not quibbling over negligible
funds that will not matter when the sun sets. How ignorant are these officials
thinking that moving across seas will save us money? By shipping our jobs, we
will be forced to spend a great deal of money on transportation. Now, not only
will this be more trouble than it’s worth, we will be taking advantage of the
workers overseas. If we can’t bother to pay the oversea workers as well as we
pay our own, for doing the same job nonetheless, then why bother paying them at
all? Humans are humans, no matter where they come from in the world. We should
treat them all with respect. In conclusion, I would say no, do not ship our
jobs overseas to take advantage of innocent civilians and natural resources.

ReplyDeleteI agree that we should not ship jobs overseas but I disagree with your reasoning. I do not feel that it should be our goal to ensure that everyone is happy. We should treat people with respect but they are ultimately responsible for their actions. They should not have children they cannot afford to have. The more children they have, the less they can spend on each of them. It is not so much a question of how much people are being paid but rather how they are choosing to spend their money.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, going overseas to another country is just wasting our money. It will have our economy decrease because of the boats and the cargo and the people we send over and back. We also don't know what is happening on that side of the world, who knows what can happen to our workers. We are risking a lot more than just our economy, we are risking our country because when we send our people overseas they may receive bad ideas and working ways that can affect us. We need to stay on our side.
