Convincing Someone to do Something

Their are many ways to convince someone to do something. Personally I would offer them something to help convince them for what every reason. My brother and I use this system all the time. It starts by me wanting a snack and trying to get him to make one. Eventually I end up do his chores for him and in return he makes me a sandwich.

Foxconn: Good or Bad?

Why are Foxconn's methods of working employees wrong? Foxconn is one of the major companies that make a lot of the apple products. At extensive research this is my view about Foxconn.

First of I don't think Foxconn is morally right because is a cheaper product worth the price of someones life. The workers at Foxconn are more or less slaves that recieve very low pay and are housed like animals in the Foxconn dorms. The treatment of these people are horrible because they are like me and you. The only difference is on a day to day basics they have to try to survive. People have tried to get into but the Foxconn officals would not allow them into the factory. That just makes them look worse because that means they are hiding something.

Foxconn should not be aloud to operate their company anymore because of all the terrible things going on in the factory.

Foxconn vs Oliver Twist

The notorious company Foxconn has many things in common with Charles Dickens story Oliver Twist. After some research about Foxconn and seeing what happens behind the closed doors of Foxconn. It has hit me that some factories are kind of like the workhouses that are protrayed in the story Oliver Twist.

First off both have horrible working conditions and these horrible conditions are what kill people. Many of the people who work at Foxconn are poor and need money so they can survive. The work they do at Foxconn is hazardous for many of their employees. The factories also have dorms very close so the works can get to work fast and not be late. Foxconn also uses children to work in their factories.

These are the harsh relates of how Foxconn works their employees. There are so many things that the world could do to make life better for the Foxconn works.
