Global inequality affects our everyday life. It affects us because all countries are interknit as each affects one another. Mexico is far behind the United States when it comes to power and success in riches. In film Food Inc, Mexican workers were recruited to come to the United States to work for a meat company. That same meat company that recruited those people later turned them in to immigration and customs.
Another place where such crimes of global inequality are being committed is in China. American factories move most manufacturing businesses overseas where working conditions and minimum pay cost them the least therefore yielding a far higher profit. In that scenario, while the company benefits, the victims are those workers. Those victims are forced to tolerate such miserable treatment since in many cases that job is the best job around. Everyday third world country citizens are being exploited to further riches of world powers such as the US.
Such outrageous acts don’t affect just the foreigners…it also affects Americans here in our country! These manufacturing jobs going overseas bring forth one more American unemployed. Here is where global inequality falls into place. Those examples are an injustice that needs to be rectified.
