Out Sourcing and Its Impacts on the World

Out sourcing is directly related to globalization. Globalization has been going on since the days of columbus, but never really took off untill the nineteen eights due to three things. The first was the North American Free Trade agreement (NAFTA). This was signed in 1992 and was held between the united states, mexico and, Canada. It lifed tarrifs off goods. The second thing was Education of nations like China and India this brought them to our level giving them equal opportunities. The last thing was the internet. The internet conneted the world globally. no longer was there a barrier between countrys.

Outsourcing is impacting the world by taking jobs away from people, products are produced with no standards and workers are abused and treated unfairly. Many current computer jobs programing and tellamarketing jobs are being outsourced to India this is because of the cheap labor. These jobs do not require someone that has to be in the U.S. Along the same lines many of the production jobs are being out sourced to china and mexico. Also for the same reason of cheap labor.

This brings up another issue what are the manufacturing standards of these counrtys. In the united states production standards are very high and regulated. In china and mexico the standards set by the government are poor and most of the time not even followed. This is why there was the lead paint issue, the toothpaste issue, the dog food issue. These were all products that came from China that were pure poison. The problem is there is no way customs can regualte the products coming in. They only have a small amount of agents compared to the products coming in.

How are other countries effected from outsourcing? Many small countries rely on farming as the greatest part of their GDP. Many people though that outsourcing would benifit there economeys. I did something much worse. Since outsourcing opens up a global market many of these small counries had to import. This is due to the fact that larger countries could sell products cheap because of up lifted tarrifs and government assistance.Lastly outsourcing is horrible for the living standards of people in china. These people make only $30 dollars for a sixty hour work week. They are offtened worked more than six days in a row. these people are offten abused physically.

Outsourcing all together has had a negative impact on our world.
