We live in an age where technology has become a standard in our lives, especially within the younger generation. One thing often overlooked is how we obtain such devices. Apples factory Foxconn is in the public eye recently for its treatment of workers. According to Forbes.com there are 235000 workers at this facility and the average wage among workers is about $1.78 per hour. They live in crowded dorm style rooms after working 10 hour shifts in silence. Also suicide nets had to be put up around the building because workers were jumping out of the building and falling to their deaths due to such conditions.
Do you think it is the worlds fault for the demand of these high tech items or do you think it is the business men in america and china for forcing these people to work like this so they can reap all the benefits? Also Should we limit the amount of money individual humans can absorb so that others may benefit from more income?
