in class essay 3

I haven’t found a topic I really like that much, but as of now it would be outsourcing. Outsourcing is when big companies get move their factories to another country to exploit their cheap labor, which in turn takes jobs away from people in the U.S. I have just heard that most of outsourcing is digital. I had never heard of digital outsourcing until yesterday. Mr. Slabaug told me about and said it would be a good subject to research. People say outsourcing is a good thing for the poorer countries that the companies move to because it gives them jobs, but it also makes them dependant on that job and that company. This makes it easy for the company to exploit the country and its people. If we could eliminate outsourcing it would be a good move to lower unemployment rates. This alone is good reason to try to stop companies from outsourcing. The reasons companies do this is because not only do have to pay American workers more, you also have to give them benefits like health insurance, vacation time, and maternity leave. The companies can’t really be blamed for wanting to outsource. They are just trying to make the most money they can just like everybody else. The government is the only thing that can stop outsourcing. I think they should put high tariffs on products that are made by companies who out source. A tariff on products made by companies that outsource would force them to either raise their price and lose some customers or leave the price the same and lose some of their profit margin. This would counter act the cheaper labor, making it equal to just keeping business in the U.S. The only way we can stop companies from outsourcing is to make so it cost too much to take advantage of cheaper labor in the long run.
