I believe that shifting jobs overseas will be a good way to improve our economy. Our resources will be cheaper and this will allow us to pay our workers more, or hire more workers. This means that more people will have jobs and get paid better. They will be able to support their families much more easily. This strongly supports my utilitarianism ideals in the fact that the greater number of people are happy with their lives during this time of the Industrial revolution. I support the idea of working overseas to create a stronger economy that just about everyone can benefit from. It may cause some people distress with the travel and more hours and whatnot, but it is worth it because they will be more able to support themselves and their families. It will change almost every aspect of their lives if the people of Europe participate in this solution for economy.

Jeremy, I strongly disagree with the statement you have made here. You say you value the greatest happiness for the greatest number yet if we were to shift jobs over seas, it would most likely result in people from other countries consuming these jobs rather than the workers here in England. In my book titled The Condition of the Working Class in England, I depict the poverty and awful working conditions throughout the industrial class, I feel as though these conditions would become even worse if jobs were transferred over seas because as I said a majority of these workers would have their jobs taken by the labor sources in other countries. This would result in no money coming in for these people, and if this occured, working conditions and the lives of the industrial workers would not better. I advise you to please rethink what you have rationalized about transferring jobs overseas, I do not think it would benefit the majority.

DeleteI completely agree with the statement you have made here. Not only would the shift of jobs benefit our economies, but it would benefit economies of other countries world wide. Like you stated, our resources will be cheaper and allow more workers to be paid. I also think you can include attaining natural resources from where they came, but that's in addition to the shift of jobs. All in all, this theory would benefit everyone more than harm.

ReplyDeleteI disagree with shifting jobs overseas. This will cause workers like me to loss their jobs. We already do not make a lot, if we were to loss our job how would we survive? Shifting jobs would allow for other countries workers to take the jobs available rather than our own people. I am satisfied with life as is. There is no need to shift the jobs.
