This topic is all about how countries with developed economies are taking advantage of nations who don't. For example, the United States outsources in countries like China, India, and Mexico. This issue is a very heated one because some people believe that outsourcing decreases the number of jobs here in America while others believe that outsourcing gets rid of unwanted jobs and creates new ones. Outsourcing is a strategy used by businesses to save money on cheap labor. This usually takes place in low-cost regions where workers are given little money and treated with little respect. This may be the cause of possible backlash from these outsourced workforces. Now, in modern day society, with vast communication all over the world, jobs and work can be transferred to all corners of the globe.
These are a few questions that I still have after reading this:
-What specific companies are offshore outsourcing?
-How are outsourced workers being mistreated?
-What is "nearshore" outsorcing?
