Re: "Sweating out the words"

In response to Alali’s “Sweating out the words,” I agree with the mindset and attitude Alali has towards fowl working conditions imposed on outsourced labor. I feel that many businesses have taken a turn for the worse and moved away from focusing on actual business practice. Instead, they try to become the most successful business by minimizing their total costs. To do this, businesses look for countries that can perform the same tasks but at a much lower cost. This type of business strategy is inhumane and treats humans as if they were animals or robots. It is unfair to take advantage of those in other countries by exploiting their low standards of living. Yes it is cheaper to use these people, but it takes jobs away from US citizens at the same time. In all, companies and large corporations need to take a look at themselves and re-evaluate their business strategies and ethical values. Are the slightly lower costs really that important that others should suffer their entire lives and generations to come also suffer?
