Stuff

            Corporations have become so large that they seem to run our country or other countries. Their agendas are to mass produce the product at the lowest cost possible. Our items for the most part are made in third world countries where resources and labor costs are imaginably cheap beyond believe. A level far below what we in America call poverty. These corporations extract the natural resources from these countries to produce products.

        Products which are made relatively cheap, because it is mass produced by stripping the land of natural material and using the labor force in those countries where most get paid a days wage what we get paid for an hour. Corporations who operate in other countries do not have the regulations which we have put into effect in America, which help to protect our enviorment and a standard of living; even though low. We as the consumer have created this atmosphere. We allow this because we would rather pay next to nothing for something than to pay our weeks salary for it. Most of these products are inferiorly made as there is no quality control, therefore forcing us to buy that product again. Too most of us it would still be cheaper than paying an exhorbenant amount. Allowing this we strip the earth of its many resources, we pollute our water and air, we bring our quality of living down.

         What we as the consumer should do is stop buying products which are made elsewhere and buy what is made here. Forcing the corporations to pay living wages, to learn to recycle products therefore helping to stem waste, stop polluting our enviorments, and bringing the quality of life up for all.
