Life on the Global Assembly Line

The passage explains cheap labor that third world nations direct upon all woman young and old. The passage provides different stories about third world assembly lines with mothers and sisters making products at a rapid rate and receiving absolutely nothing in return but some 3 to 5 dollars an hour. In some 3 to 5 dollars in a day. Imagine living in an all woman dormitory like a lab rat told to work, eat, and sleep every day of your life. How unjust and ridiculous is that. The saddest part is, our great nation does very little to prevent it because American corporations partake in this business. It is horrible that our government does not enforce stricter rules about this unmoral act that America has partnered in. We must stop this today. Our title of helping is starting to demise and our credibility is starting to diminish because we are just like Alex Rodriquez and the Yankees simply playing to make more money than to do what America should be doing, and that’s doing whats right for the world. Children and Woman are working with the poorest of conditions causing several health problems that very easily could be connected to death and many other diseases. Without unions and health administrations enforcing standards of work there will never be justice. Imagine working at a US McDonalds or a Burger King making 3 dollars and hour and told to live in a dormitory, to work, to eat, and sleep every day five days a week. How messed up does that sound. America seems to help nations in need for collateral and then establish their help in donations and such using the media to create this “we help everybody” reputation when in reality we hurt people just as equal. We help and hurt, We save and kill. Think of it like its simple math. We donate money to Africa for example +1 but we allow unmoral American corporations to establish firms to create sweatshops with 7 year old kids working -1, We fight terrorism in Middle Eastern nations to provide democracy and eliminate dictatorships +1, Yet we kill several innocents, miss treat Muslims, and make underground oil trades -1. The point is we’re going no where. Doesn’t sound appealing does it. Unions need to be internationally recognized and carried over domestically and internationally to help create better work living styles and safer environments for those in poor nations. Our living standards will probably always be better than some nations but that gives us no right to use other nations so that we benefit so greatly. Corporations don’t care about other countries lifestyles as long as American’s and their business is living comfortably. That is unmoral and we as common people must come together to help stop this evil act by establishing and promoting unions and establishment intended to do nothing but make sure that business is done with some restrictions and lifestyles are livable in international nations.
