I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. For the next twelve years, Guatemala would become the only home I ever knew. When I was five years old however, everything changed. My father left Guatemala to come to the United States and plan for the rest of his family to also move to the States in the correct way. He would work three jobs for the next six years to get enough money and prove that he would be a good provider for his family and even himself. This meant that we would have to be apart for six
The global outsourcing in this predicament, no matter how much it “benefits the shareholders and the customers in the United States” has become harsh reality to the workers in China (Jones, 2008, p. 139). As stated in our textbook, “numerous products sold in U.S. stores have been outsourced to countries that do not have U.S.-style regulations and laws to protect the workers who make the products (Jones, 2008, p. 135) These workers have not been compensated for working
