Fear of Globalization
So we all know that alot of American companies are uprooting and going overseas leaving people jobless. In todays times, that is a little rough to handle. Trust me, i’m thankful to have a job that I don’t have to fear that. But honestly, if you were a major company- and could get your product made cheaper (and of same quality), would you not do that? With unions and everything else, its just too expensive to stay here.
The effects of globalizaion can be both good and bad: here are a few examples; economical, political, cultural. And one of the biggest complaints is child labor. Especially in India, where alot of American companies are going. I mean, lets not forget the whole Kathy Lee Gifford saga. Pretty much she said she “didn’t know”. If its your company, your name – shouldn’t it be your responsibility to know????
So, what are we, as Americans, to do? First of all (excuse me if I offend), I believe that “we” should not object change, if the Company we are working for is interested in lowering cost of labor – how about we get rid of the deadweight? Those people who don’t care, just want a paycheck. Or how about the top execs who believe it their “right” to have a compensation worth millions? Really, are they worth it? Cut your losses and work from the inside out. Not the outside in.
