Outsourcing is a crucial element in the world of foreign relations and is a direct product of globalization. This is due to the fact that globalization allows for a company to reach into other nations and access resources faster and more efficiently than ever before. While outsourcing can take advantage of cheap labor and lends its hand to bad conditions for workers, the world, as we know it would not exist without outsourcing. The advantages of outsourcing are plentiful and add to this growing debate. We decided to give both sides of the story and let the viewers form their own opinions on the outsourcing controversy.
In many cases outsourcing is viewed as a negative byproduct of globalization. At times, children are forced into the workplace and are denied an education, which puts them in the position of working in a factory for the rest of their lives. The relocation of jobs has led to many Americans being forced out of work. Lastly, shifting jobs to other countries allow for language barriers arise and can lead to miscommunication between parties.
Outsourcing is not just about sweatshops and stealing away childhood, it also has its benefits that make life easier for many people. For one, it cuts labor costs, which allows for larger profit margins within a company. Cutting labor costs allows companies to charge less and this leads to more affordable products for the consumer, something that every American takes advantage of. While job loss seems to be on the rise, in fact outsourcing many jobs from the US has allowed for the creation of better jobs stateside.
In the end, the information presented is both factual as well as left in context. By taking an unbiased approach to the topic, we ask our viewers to make their own educated decision. So, is outsourcing good or bad? We hope that this video will give you a brief overview of the pros and cons associated with outsourcing. In the end, well let you decide.
