The Bad Guy

What fascinates me most about all of the attention that this evil in China is getting is the fact that I only know about Apple.  I wonder how many other corporations are using China to cruelly craft their contraptions.  While the situation is evil I also do not think that the article and audio are enough to change my purchases.  I do not specifically own an Apple product but I'm sure that enough of my electronics are causing strife somewhere else in the world.  The biggest issue that confuses me is why the leaders of these corporations allow for the torment to continue.  They certainly have more power in the situation and I'm pretty sure that they will continue to manufacture their products with all of the hazards that apple has as long as people continue to buy them.  Unless we get a first hand experience of the cruelties in China, I think that the effectiveness of Apple products outweigh the consumer's desire to change Apple's occupation in China.  Maybe I'm just a bad person, but how do you think that these articles will change your view on your purchases.

I definitely agree that my purchases probably won't be changed. In the radio show it said most electronics like Sony and Samsung products were made the same way. I think we depend so much on technology these days that it would be hard to not to use these products. Even though my views have changed, I will most likely continue to use these products.

The reason that these leaders of the companies do not make any changes is because they are making so much profit. They sell so many items and barely have to pay anything for them to be made. I agree that Apple will still be large company even if they do not change this but now that there is more information about this occuring it could have effect on other compaines.

Perhaps a movement for fair labor will start. Many appliances used to waste energy until the green movement came about. Now it's hard to find appliances that don't have energy star labels on them or don't brag about how little carbon footprint they leave. If there is enough outcry people will be enticed by advertisements that promote fair trade and labor.
