Discussion Question: To expand our thinking and discussion on Week 1 – Issue 1 “Is it Immoral for U.S. Corporations to Use Cheap Overseas Labor? (PDF on Blackboard)” actively respond to the following question and participate in classmate’s response(s):
If you have read the material on Issue 1 and considered all sides of this issue, stakeholder’s perspectives and resulting impacts from actions and decisions of others, then you may realize that a balanced solution, which best meets needs of all sides, is typically a good approach.
In your assessment discuss some viable solutions as U.S. corporations continue to optimize cost of producing goods as they compete in a global market. Should we consider tax incentives, new laws, etc.? Is is fair for the U.S. decide what is best for undeveloped countries, which may negatively impact the improved wages made by the workers in undeveloped countries? Are we comparing our standard of living/earnings with countries where the low wages earned is an improvement from not having these jobs? Example: ability of parents to keep children out of working in the fields, prostitution, parents selling children, etc.
