hide and seek, and Outsourcing

[Criistal15]

Count to 1 to 100

Say: Ready or Not, here i come!

And you look For the People

You were looking for! xD

[elvisjonesus]

I bet the athletes that Nike pays millions feel really bad about the workers getting screwed.

Yes it's unfair. The multinational companies are all playing the same game.

[freesuraj]

oh.. that's it. poverty is the biggest problem.

[pakhini]

aww so cute...

[smooshii]

[subashbhote]

yup I totally agree with you ,the people must be paid so that they can improve their living standards.

[msmuwwakil]

Hi. I am a new subscriber to you and I just wanted to say that I work for a company that has recently started outsourcing from here in the U.S. to China. They are laying off their employees here for cheaper labor in China so I am actually feeling this thing on the other side.

[kittykattykoo]

thank you for subscribing! ^^

[limbukirat]

u look more like a teachere giving knowledge to theworld hahahha dont mind on it i was just kidding anyway i loved ur entry by saying the welcom speach

[mallen4000]

Out sourcing hase been going on for hundreds of years.Africans was inslaved and brought to america to do work that once was done by white handsmans, that traveled the country sides for work on other white farmers farms.

[itekisan]

And regarding the outsourcing injustice, to my opinion, it involves a great deal of racism, too. It appears to me, that although they are used to exploit also white people, they even feel less guilty (and thus more comfortable) in exploiting asians. And because of the distance, they don't even need to fear riots...

[itekisan]

Nice vid, really!

About hide and seek, I don't remember how far we did count. I think we negotiated the rules anew every time. ;) And I liked to put false hints before I actually hid, like with the bed "stuffing" in your video. ;)

[bhanja]

I don't understand u r talking abt NIKE or MONEY..........L@@K if u want NIKE shoe just buy simple shoe & wright "nike" on it & if u want money then keep on working & save money to buy NIKE..........simple the best........

[naruto82]

lose th....S on the word

but is all good =)

[peachgloves]

so they just pay them 1 dolar 80 cent's at day?

[djcuning]

Certainly, if you stop buying Nike shoes all it means is all those women are without any job at all and they spiral into far deeper poverty.

What we really need is business leaders that understand these issues (and opportunities) and place responsibility at the core of their business strategy.

Those are my thoughts, just maybe a bit too much serious dialog for this discussion!

[djcuning]

I think increasing numbers of companies do understand this. And if Nike don't they will lose in the long-run. A competitor will move in and offer those slightly higher wages knowing that it's right in the long term.

GSM9008, I'm not sure if the local economy alone can always provide the jobs. Can an economy always grow itself or are there times when the opportunities of the global economy is the only way to build that local economy? Or perhaps at least the easiest?

[djcuning]

But it is only really the first step if it allows her to invest in the health and education of her children (i.e. develop capital). Then those children can go on to have an even more skilled job and Nike can outsource that to Indonesia. Everyone wins.

So it is most definitely the company's responsibility (plus it actually makes business sense for them!) to ensure the wage is sufficient to allow positive development and progress for that woman, those women, that community, that economy.

[djcuning]

Yep, in the UK, "Ready or not here I come!"

maladiya, I like the idea of counting by 5s! Teaching times-tables at the same time!

But on the serious point kittykattykoo (that was hard to say!), I agree that it is a very complex situation.

If one of these women had nothing before, then even a job in a factory with a pitiful wage is better. It may mean she can at least provide basic needs. 2 meals a day is better than 1!

The bottom line is: this job could be the first step up the ladder.

[huribatas]

thats d reason y its made in indonesia i blieve or else nike would b made for high rpofile only dont worry we can buy our home made canvas if its too expensive nvm

[Goofydoofy13]

Lado ko namaskar!

[junkhead00]

what would be the average salary that a family would need to make to live comfortably in Indonesia?

[kittykattykoo]

hm.. I would say 550 USD is pretty much okay for a family with one kid going to public elementary school.

[junkhead00]

...just to be sure would that be /week or /month and what would that same family have to make there in Japan?

[kittykattykoo]

that's /month.

in Japan you will need around 3000 USD (but not in big cities)

[nEpZbK]

you are really cute .. and i buy nike every week and never paid less that 60 and highest i paid it 150 wow .. its rip off . they manufacture it in about 7 then maybe its like 10 dollar for each piece shipping .. and total 17 and they make like 50 + profit and they pay 1 dollar each day .. i spend like 10 dollar a day .. shit its messed up

[houserrr]

In my language good morning is "dzien dobry". You've got very nice face. Can get a kiss ? ;) Cheers

[Blackninja93]

your really cute.

[GSM9008]

Alas the corruption in govt and illiteracy of citizens is not helping the situation, also the failure to provide decent employment in absence of foreign corp., by local commerce and industries is responsible.

[GSM9008]

i am not sure but in US, i think it is ;pick-a-boo, where are you ?

To your dilemma the, solution is with the countries government which should try to put mutually beneficial trade agreements in place so to make the labor attractive to the foreign manufacturer and at the same time should ensure the fair wages are paid.

[rismaila]

nonong tapi manis juga...hiiiii

indonesia na mn nih...????

[hpagalla]

she did her part, which is good. Others will do the same.

[diliprai]

NAMASTE! TIMI TIK CHA!

SYONARA

[moderndukes]

That is unfair. So, what are you going to do?

[bookwormninja]

Count and shout (if you're playing fair) "Ready or not, here I come!" What are other favorite childhood games in Japan? Duck, duck, goose! is another popular American game.

[kancha6999]

namaste namaste

[onefive151515]

I think your parants are rich in indonesia.

[ikbeninbalans01]

Ladies and Gentleman, dear Youtube Indonesia in the world;

This person would be The Next Indonesian Lisa Nova,

AWESOME, Good Girl... WELLDONE.

[Elohim89]

Hello, In Norway(my homecountry) we usualy decide how long to count, f.example 100, we count to 100 loud so they all can hear it, how muhc time they got left to hide, when the person that is counting is done, he yells "100!!!!" and the runs out to find the person.

Norway is a import coutry, we recieve items from china mostly. I agree totaly with you!

[MrRay47]

I was hoping to find a continuation of your talk on outsourcing but didn't find it. Good start. I tried piecework sewing in Hong Kong for a day and didn't make enough for even one meal. Any ideas for solutions?  Aloha :)

[anwar1011]

guten morgen ..... oder moin :p

[DDeden]

Di-Malaysia "main sorok-sorok"

[igeordie]

I always make an effort to buy things produced locally.

It's pretty difficult to do. Recently, I went out to purchase basic house items, returning with only one "Made in USA" item, a broom.

The rest were produced in China.

My gf's brother offered me to take me to the Nike factory in Central Java, I declined... now I regret it. It would have been interesting to see it.

In the US, we count usually count to 20... then shout, "Ready or not, here I come!"

[14god1126]

your accent is so good.

[tarry88]

hi ... i dont really know what i think when i count .. but i think that you are really cute .. eres guapa .. kamu cantik .. aap khoobsurat ho ! ! take care

[Sabei0990]

We decide on a number to count to. The seeker counts at the base. And then he/she either says Ready Or Not or nothing at all.

[MistyAir]

Well here we yell "Ready or not here I come!"

[chaizhar]

ketawan lo abis nonton you tube yang tentang globalization kan....heheheh...gw juga ud nonton tuh kitt.....

btw, lo jepangnya di mana, gw di okinawa....

lo indonesianya di mana....

gw di jakarta....

kalo lo di jakarta, dulu SMA nya mana.....

gw SMA 28.....

hehehehehe

[kittykattykoo]

eits... kebalik man.. gw bikin video ini dulu baru ntn video globalization. ini bikin videonya abis kelas "education and society", jadi inspirasinya dari situ. hehe..

jepangnya gw di oita. waahh enak ya di okinawa deket laut, bisa maen di pantai tiap hari donG?

gw dulu sma di SMA 8, jkt.

[genkisalsaholic]

Also, I forgot to say... in Mexico, after the person who is looking for the other kids "gives up", he announces that he can't find them and everyone has to come out of their hiding place. The hiders have to run back to the base without getting touched by the person who is looking. (Kind of like ONI?!)

[genkisalsaholic]

I always got stuck playing with the unfair kids... they would count "one, two, skip a few, ninety-nine, a hundred" and then they would say "Ready or not hear I come!" But, I think that what is going on with these factories is much sadder and much more unfair. Thanks for talking about this.

[gusmacoz]

in Australia we count to 100 and say "Reaady or not here I come!"

[gusmacoz]

Sounds like Fairtrade certification needs be extended into the textile, clothing and footwear industry. Farmers in developing countries are earning a living wage and given fair conditions thanks to Fairtrade.

[maladiya]

Hi ::smiles:: When I played hide and seek with my siblings growing up we just counted to either 10. Or counted to 100 by 5's. Then we said ready or not here i come. Then we either open our eyes or uncover them and get to looking. ^_^

[jaydee0von0james]

90% (or maybe more) of the things in the US are made overseas in Asian countries...it sucks because lots of American's don't know what goes on in those factories. Then when we have places like Wal-Mart selling it at an affordable price, theres not much we can do. American made products are hard to come by.

私達はひどい世界に住んでいる。 ;_;

[Kuscher]

kingfast9 has it correct in english...i am psyched i found out what it is like in japanese. my wife is from japan, and our nieces and nephews say that all the time, and i had no idea what they were saying...nobody would tell me...no i know, thanks

[dederabat]

Bonjour....lagi main petak umpet ya heheh

jadi inget dech waktu kecil di indonesia..begitu lucu banget ...btw kemana ya temen temen kecil kita saat ini...

[kittykattykoo]

hihihi iyah.. :D jadi pengen reuni ama temen TK. hihihihi

[dederabat]

kita cari temen temen yuk...

hayoo pada ngumpet dimana ?

[FuransujinS]

In France, hide and Seek is 'Cache-cache' (wich means 'Hide-Hide') We just count then say 'J'arrive' (wich means 'I'm comming!') ^^

[kittykattykoo]

ah thank you ^^ now I can play cache cache in france too :D

[FuransujinS]

^^ hehe. (You're right about Nike! It's sad, but it's tru...)

[NYHoney2007]

Yeah, that is capitalism at it's finest. I am a political science major myself, I enjoy talking about the subject.

[DDeden]

Mengapa tak mencari dibawah kathil?

Bahasa2: Selamat Pagi sama juga Guten Morgen aje, bukan Guten Tag. Pada Jerman dan negara2 bahasa di Europa yg utara (Inggeris, Belanda, Skandinvia) kata "good morning", tetapi Perancis dan negara2 bahasa di Europa yg selatan (Italian, Espanyol, Portogese) kata "good day" sebab alas Latin, Diorang tak pakai "good morning".

Kenapa Kittysan kata2 namaste dan namaskar kedua dua? Aku pikir orang Indu pakai one or the other only.

[kittykattykoo]

Wahh.. makasi yah, oshiete kurete arigatou! ^^

[DDeden]

zen zen daijobu...dewa mata...slm knln, eml/brogku netime.

;)

[uniquebonkers]

When ppl tell me about companys that r not treat there workers right i tend to stop buying the product but i'm wondering if we were all to stop buying them would that make the cut there pay even more. what can we really do about these BIG companys? for hide and seek we can count to what ever number then we say "ready or not here i come".

[kittykattykoo]

Right,.. that's why it's such a dilemma.. :(

[kingfaster9]

i agree with u that is sooo unfair

[kingfaster9]

i ask up to what nuber to ount to and mostely my friends say 10 so i say. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 ready or not hear i come

[Evange]

we count to a pre-agreed number then say "ready or not, here I come!"

[K80Blog]

Great message. I agree 100+%.

[K80Blog]

I love your videos so much. You will forever remind me of when I first joined YouTube. :D

[neitokundesuyo]

eetou you know where i can find that song?

[kittykattykoo]

sure, That's Disney version of twinkle twinkle little star. :D you can find it in limewire. hehehehehe

[neitokundesuyo]

Selamut pagi, it sounds like filipino salamut po XD.

[neitokundesuyo]

mou ikaii XD. i love the song, twinkle twinkle little star XD

[indulf]

The USA ensures that its friends control countries like Indonesia. The USA put the generals into power in Indonesia and the generals keep the unions weak and the wages low. The big American corporations also find China useful in terms of cheap labour.

[kittykattykoo]

yeah.. No wonder they have 50% of the world's wealth while only having 0.6% of its population...

[DDeden]

I should ashamed of that, since I'm from the US? In the last 10 years, my average wage per day is $1.50, collecting and recycling discarded aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles on the streets in So. & Nor. Calif. Should I be ashamed that I am so poor, but also ashamed that my country is so rich and powerful? Malu malu, eh?

Saya tidak mengerti. Wakarimasen. I don't understand.

[kuncungbawuk]

lucky me!!! I wear only those cheap brandless shoes that comfort my feet...:D:D

*padahal gak tega keluarin duit aja kekeke

[kittykattykoo]

ahuahuahua.... btw, is even carvil and swallow our brand? hikkk.. barang apa yg bner2 punya indo yah?

[kuncungbawuk]

have you ever heard about theklek? then it is...:^_^

[kittykattykoo]

LMAO, I heard, but I'm not really sure what it means. Must be something u wear on ur feet. hehehee...

[kuncungbawuk]

theklek itu lho..sandal kayu sama karet ban mobil...dahsyat kalau nginjek kaki orang..:D

*aku mau tulis di bhs inggris malu...takut ketahuan orang laen...:lol:

[kittykattykoo]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! tau tau, gw kira itu namanya bakiak! hahahahhaa... terakhir2 di indo masi suka liat, buat ke wc di sekolah2, ama buat wudhu biasanya. Soalnya kayu ama ban kan gampang kering, and they're made of recycled materials. What a bright innovation actually, we should be proud of it. hehehehe..

[kuncungbawuk]

bakiak tuh si nomo koeswoyo manggilnya...inget lagu nonton bioskop yang keinjek bakiak sandal jawa? nah...di solo namanya theklek...

one most important thing: it is cheap from the materials, labors and tax free!!!

[DDeden]

cap nama klek? I tot the sound of sandals clicking on the sole of the feet when walking..klek..klek..klek at least my sandals always did that noise. hehehe ingat.

[dvorak88dv]

ur right, its very unfair because these companies are very greedy for money and that should be changed.

[koichiben]

I live about 1 mile away from the Nike Headquarters! And my someone from my fraternity started Nike! Should I yell at them tomorrow?

[kittykattykoo]

LOL, that might be a good idea, but don't wear nike shoes when you do that. :P hehehe

[koichiben]

only adidas fit my feet, anyways, but I can't imagine they are any better than nike when it comes to outsourcing

[kittykattykoo]

oh reallY? I didn't know if Adidas is the only brand making fit-to-godzilla-feet sport shoes. hehehehe.. :D

Love ur godzilla vids! ^^

[pufstyler]

We count from 1 to whatever high number you choose, and then when your done with that, you say ready or not, here i come! Or in dutch it's ''wie niet weg is is gezien'' :p (those of you who aren't hidden yet, will be found!)

[kittykattykoo]

wow thank you for telling me the dutch version!! :D

[pufstyler]

And the part of ready or not here i come, is english and american (h)

[fitzcannon]

FIRST COMMENT BOI!!!!

[kittykattykoo]

hehehe.. congrats! :D
