I learned at school that you shouldn't play the fool
and people who learn will never be spurned for
putting others first and it's okay to thirst
it's okay to buy American if you'll work for the simoleons
In prose form what I learned last Friday in English class is more like this: It is within imagination that the people working on my items (clothing) have less comfortable amenities. The countries of my particular items that day are the U.S.A. and China. Would I work in the conditions? I would have to in order to live. On average people in China make $19.53 per day, according to a worldsalaries.org article. American's make $106.99 per day but have higher costs.
On average american's make 5.48 times the daily wages of people in China and to be honest I do not know if I could live on $19.53 per day. There are a lot of creative ways to make your dollars stretch: coupons, buy in bulk, sales. Also there are half-way houses, price ceiling housing, and secondary jobs to look for.
In short, to survive we need to find a desirable job and develop the set of skills we will need tosucceed. Find something enjoyable which will also support the lifestyle desired.
Your opening to be brief and honest leaving a deep impact. As far as wages in China go, I think you've said it all too well people can make a dollar stretch, but at what point does the streching require a loss of human dignity? Still as you said we need to put ourselves before others, however, information like this will hopefully highten our sense of urgency in essentially maturing as a country.
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
ReplyDeleteJust for your infomation. In my city, which is a quite big city in China(Not Beijing or Shanghai), one pound of Fuji apple is $1.5. One pound of local beef is about $3.0. Tomato is $1.1. What do you think? I say not too much difference any more.
