1:24 "alpine car stereos 31 cents an hour"

I never thought when I was buying electrical goods that there was so much exploitation of workers. I just wondered if any of you guys knew this before? And what you made of this?

Ethics are funny things , if you look at the first post under this clip it makes a good point..


Quote ""I will ask you the same thing I asked the other guy, what are you doing to fix the "problem"? If you know the problem what are you doing to help the people in the other countries? If you live in a house, use your heater and AC, drive a car, use the internet and computers, go grocery shopping in a store, then you are in support of the corporations. Even if you do not wish to, you are.""

Ethically it is wrong of us to buy these products/items as we know how badly the people who made them were abused, but its too deeply embedded in our society and ever more needy and accelerating comsuming culture.
WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF IT.
WE ALL KNEW IT, JUST CHOSE TO IGNORE IT

Ethically I wont buy this stuff, morally I oppose it, FINANCIALLY I WANT THE CHEAPEST PRODUCT.

shit stinks. Fact.

Yeah dont get me wrong, I would still buy an Alpine head unit. They are very good head units. You are right in that we are never going to escape it, if they up wages in one Country the will just leave and exploit somewhere else.

Just shocking really that even in the electronic market people are still exploited.

There is exploitation in everything.
There's no getting away from it.

Exploitation means you get the things you enjoy at a cheaper price.
And because the consumers are constantly asking for cheaper items, the exploitation will continue.

It's a vicious circle that will continue to spiral. Much like the third world debt that will never be consolidated.









On a lighter note, the Inbetweeners 1-3 boxset is already out.
Get in!
Very Happy
