Original Article: Samsung Starting to Sweat
This blog post is a further analysis regarding Georgia’s blog post on Samsung’s ruthless labor abuse in China.
Georgia identified that Powerful multinational corporations such as Samsung nowadays may not be as ethical as they might perform in front of medias. For example, she clearly pointed out that especially in China, Samsung uses underage labor and its working environment is definitely below minimal requirements. Though labors are given with a place to live but it is usually around a standard toilet size.Obviously Samsung increases its profit by cost-cutting. However, due to China’s large labor supply in the market and labors usually do not consist of high education or skills, they can only be abused by firms because they need a job to maintain their standards of living.
On the other hand, what I believe the blog post can be strengthen with is more analysis rather than describing the situation. For example, instead of talking about the unethical issues existing around the world these days such as labor abuse, she may also think about the causes of such and then provide recommendations towards such issues. In this case, readers will understand the results of labor abuse and how can we prevent it.
