I think that shifting jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor sources and natural resources is not the best possible solution for our economy. I think this is bad for exactly the reason it is stated. "To take advantage of" is to manipulate the labor of other countries. This is unjust because we cannot just take from the other countries. Everyone should be equal, and all countries should be equal. Those countries have a right to their resources just like we have the right to our resources. It is also not fair to let them take care of our responsibilities. Shifting jobs overseas is unfair therefore we must not commit this crime.

I agree that shifting jobs overseas is not the a good solution for our economy, but I don't exactly agree with your reasoning why. You said that it would be "unjust" to shift jobs overseas for their natural resources and cheap labor, but I don't believe it would be unjust to anyone but ourselves. If we shifted our jobs overseas it would benefit the countries overseas and make us suffer. We shouldn't worry about everyone being equal, we have to maintain our status at the top of the business world. If we shift jobs overseas, we would surely fall from the top. We can't just give away our power and success to countries overseas because they offer us natural resources and cheap labor.
