jungle:What kind of proof do you have that this in fact doesn't happen? Are you really stating that this shit doesn't happen? Because this is basically what I'm getting when you tell me, "If you have proof of a U.S. company directly hiring a child in another country; I'd like to see that."
I admitted that it does. I've explained the cultural differences that make this seem so horrible to you but are allowing poor countries to maintain a better living. I asked for proof that Apple is paying children 20 cents an hr to assemble iphones. Which you've yet to produce. I posted the picture because that was the only internet info I could find that might corroborate your teacher's assertion about apple's using child labor to produce iPhones. So yes, it does have something to do with the issue at hand.
jungle: Globalization has no intent on helping other countries out. Although it's not so common, it still takes jobs away from american's in order to pay out of country workers less than a dollar a day.
What about countries where people are getting paid more than a dollar a day? Is that better? I've laid out why this happens.. Americans will not pay three times more for a product assembled by Americans who demand a certain wage. You can't have it both ways. So, basically you are saying you would rather have the jobs and will pay more for the products?
Yes, you can use whatever terms you like.. but it's sensationalized, inaccurate and naive... but clearly you really just want to vent about capitalism rather than have a debate on the pros and cons of globalization.. so.. I'll stop responding.
