I do not agree one bit with the idea that we should shift jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor sources and natural resources. Some claim that this is the best possible solution for our economy, however it is far from it. All of the sudden because of the Industrial Revolution there are so many new jobs being created. I myself got one of these jobs, and although there are some downsides to it, the pay is fine and it is close to my family. If we were to move the jobs overseas, I wouldn't have a job anymore. I don't want to have to move overseas only for a job, when everything I love is here in Britain where the economy is fine. I wont leave my country to go to another such as America. We could just loose money if we moved overseas and didn't have enough success, so staying here would be best for our country. Overall this is a horrible suggestion and if it happens it will only hurt thousands of mill workers like myself.
I both agree and disagree with your opinion. You must be going through a time of grief if you are about to lose your job, and I am truly sorry. This may not immediately benefit the Europeans, but it will boost our economy and we will be able to hire less, but still some workers in the factories and mills. They will get paid the same amount of money, if not more! This may not completely support my idea of utilitarianism, which is the belief in the happiness for the greater number, but it will overseas. People in America will be getting jobs, and their economy will grow, and they will have a very large number happy. This doesn't necessarily make the Europeans happier, but it will very soon when the economy improves immensely and they are able to support both workers in Europe and overseas. (Jeremy Bentham)
