These workers left their homes with the hope of earning a higher income to provide a better life for themselves and their families. However, these workers soon found out the only things available for them were low wages, dangerous work conditions, environmental hazards, and no protection from their government. In the documentary all employees complained of severely low wages, but the most significant complaints were from the female Maquiladora workers and the residents who lived near the maquiladoras. The female workers complained of being verbally and physically abused by their male supervisors while the residents complained of companies dumping toxic waste into local living areas. The concerns addressed by these people are not limited to the confines of this documentary. Countless urban residents in Mexico fear for their environmental safety and women fear for their well-being.

The influence of the neoliberalism Increasing the wages of employees would make a point against the misogynistic view that poverty-stricken women are an ideal source of cheap labor. This stems from an academic article, “Murder in Juarez: Gender, Sexual Violence, and the Global Assembly Line”, written by Jessica Livingston. In the article she states, “If this male resentment and hostility was not tolerated by Mexican authorities, and if it could also be reduced with more egalitarian and better paying working conditions, perhaps the murdering of women in Juárez would also cease” (71). High male unemployment after the establishment of NAFTA meant men in the local Juárez area had and still do have to look for work elsewhere, often north of the border, because the new job openings targeted mainly young women. This gender bias causes violent repercussions against innocent women and girls merely attempting to make a living. This does not apply only to the maquiladora plants, but to other multinational corporations NAFTA enticed with cheap Hispanic

When faced with inexplicable working conditions, one’s first consideration would be to quit their job and to find a new one. In the case of the factory workers at Hacienda Tijuana, a Mexican tortilla factory, that is certainly not the case. Throughout this article, there are many issues that are presented to the reader. This essay is structured to examine three of the main issues. It begins by looking at the exploitation of the women and their lack of rights as workers in the factory. It examines the analytical framework that would be most appropriate for this situation and then progresses to relate many sociological theories to this issue. Next, it examines the mostly negative effects of globalization, modernization and industrialization.

Neo-liberalism is a belief of a free market where people can control their lives with as little regulation as possible. It is defined, by google definitions, as “a modified form of liberalism tending to favor free-market capitalism. It ties into the concept to the recent history of women’s groups in Canada because women had many more restrictions then men did and pressure on the government they eventually achieved their goal of equal rights.

Corporations mainly from the United States, establish the maquiladoras along the Mexican boarder and other parts of Mexico, but along the boarder makes it more profitable for United States corporations and even the Mexican government. Within this globalization these women working in maquiladoras are refer as a commodity that provides much higher capital for corporations. All these maquiladoras end up wining in every aspect, while the women workers suffer cruel consequences from illness, unjust working conditions, and even their communities having a negative impact because of the waste maquiladoras release to the public environment. By looking at these issues in a sociological perspective, it can be notable of the inequality, the severe working conditions, and how all women are affected in the global society within the maquiladoras.

Chris Thinnes, a veteran independent school leader (Thinnes, n.d.), defines neoliberalism as “…an ensemble of economic and social policies, forms of governance, and discourses and ideologies that promote individual self-interest, unrestricted flows of capital, deep reductions in the cost of labour, and sharp retrenchment of the public sphere. Neoliberals champion privatization of social goods and withdrawal of government from provision for social welfare on the premise that competitive markets are more effective and efficient.” (Thinnes, 2017)

Brett nelson Word count – 1511. Neo-liberalism is a political ideology that suggests that ‘human well-being can be advanced by the maximisation of entrepreneurial freedom, characterised by private property rights, individual liberty, free markets and free trade’ (Geografiskar, A 2006). In today’s modern society neo-liberalism is widespread around the globe with various stakeholders offering conflicting views. Some advocates, namely the capitalistic portion of society argue that a liberal market is

Throughout Latin America, women have maintained the status of second class citizens. Gender has remained a constant exclusionary ideology, separating women as “other” while keeping them subservient to their male counterparts. Historically, physical, sexual violence against women has not been controlled in Mexico and men have been allowed to exert

One of the learning objectives as outlined by the course syllabus is to understand the role that ideology, values, and a worldview play in determining social policy. It is evident that these factors mixed together with my background influence my perspective and lens through which the world is understood. Therefore, this section of the paper will briefly summarize how my ideology, values and worldview distinctly conflict with the fundamental frames of neoliberalism, which emphasizes decentralization, individualism and cost/benefit results.

Introduction Social justice is a long debated subject that continues to prove controversial and divisive all over the world. Opinions on what constitutes social justice vary on a continuum from more conservative opinions which note individual responsibility to a more liberal stance which promotes a moral responsibility to support social equality (Mapp, 2008). Despite the varying opinions of what establishes social justice, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) serves as the first step in promoting social justice by outlining the basic rights that should be afforded to humanity (United Nations, n.d.). More specifically, Article 22 of the UDHR states that all people should have access to social security protection that works to provide essential needs, provisions for preserving dignity, and freedom to pursue personal interest (United Nations, n.d.). In spite of the established declaration, social justice remains unavailable for too many people. Worldwide, the lack of social protection leads to 1.4 billion people struggling to meet their essential needs due to lack of access to resources which promote a decent standard of living. Another 100 million fall into poverty due to unforeseen complications (GIPSPSI, 2011). Therefore, there is a crucial need to recognize social protection as a human right in order to guarantee equal access to basic services and equal opportunity to all of humankind.

Neoliberalism is a new form of economic policy. It is a very contemporary concept, having become more relevant in the last half of the century. As defined by Jean Hardisty in the article From the New Right to Neoliberalism, “Neoliberalism is the economic, social, and political analysis that best describes the startlingly unequal distribution of wealth and power in the U.S. today.” In other words, everything that is wrong with our government today is a product or effect of Neo-Liberalism. Because of Neoliberalism, the people who are rich and in power remain and in power and actually continually get richer while the unfortunately, the poor stay poor and have little to no way to climb the ladder of equality.

Violence takes many forms: it can be physical, psychological, sexual, economic, and even within families, or combinations of one or more of these. In most cases, the violence has been “acceptable” because of the cultural traditions that are largely respected. However, with the increasing emergence of the women’s movement internationally and even within Mexico itself, many Mexican males regard their roles as belittled. There has been a subtle and sometimes obvious backlash against the women’s movement, especially if women have independent living or income possibilities. In a culture in which violence is the norm, beatings, rape, torture, mutilation, and even murder are frequently overlooked. This has been painfully evident in the cases of mass murders of young women in Ciudad Juarez.
