Just like everyone else I totally agree with what you said. It’s absolutly true our media try to make Americans think that we help everybody. Although like you explained we do help out a lot of people but also we hurt and sometimes kill a lot of innocent people too. Every government is going to be apart of bad acts but I feel like if we were apart of something bad it should not deal with murdering other human beings. Americans need to take a stand against the government and instead of just saying the government is doing something wrong actually take action against it. Overall great blog made a lot of great points.

I completely agree with just about everything you said in this blog. It is terrible to think our country supports these dangerous working and living conditions. I also really liked you analogy of the female Third World workers to lab rats being told their every move. Our government certainly does some good things as you’ve pointed out but as you stated, every good act eventually results in some bad. The work environments are clearly terrible in these countries if the workers are risking their jobs, health, and sometimes life by protesting the conditions when they know nothing will change and will have to find another scarce job. Also, its not like these corporations really help the country which is what I find the saddest part of the whole situation. These corporations simply looking for cheap labor and leaving the Third World country or firing 23-25 year old workers because the wages are “too high” is very disturbing. You’d think our government would actually try to help the nation start to develop instead of taking complete advantage of them. Anyways very good job on the blog.
