Thomas Robert Malthus (Rosemary Callan)
Shifting jobs overseas will not help. As production increases, we will require more resources. The resources of the other countries will not last forever, and then we will need even more resources. What will we do then? Will we just move on to another country? Another problem is that of communication. How will we be able to monitor the progress of this other country? If we do not watch them closely, they could soon surpass us. It would be difficult to maintain order overseas. Also, there is the problem of the workers. Though there might be enough workers overseas now, there might later be too many. We will have to deal with the urbanization of the other countries, and we can barely deal with that of our own. Many workers live unhappy lives today, and enforcing our own way of life on people overseas will only make them unhappy, too. Shifting jobs overseas is not the best solution.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree. Not only will we deplete other countries resources, but we have enough to sustain us here her a long while, we don't need to shift overseas. Another good point you bring up is that our workers are unhappy now, but they will be even unhappier if they are out of a job because we shift overseas. They will be unhappy when they can't afford to feed their families anymore, and then we will have another rebellion on our hands! I agree with you absolutely,
