Getting the Full Picture

Mr.  Daisy's trip to china's factories make it sound like the working conditions of the factories are bad.  It isn't just the apple factories but other factories as well.  While listening to him about the conditions, it sounded like he wanted his audience to sympathize for workers in china.  I agree that the working conditions are probably not good.  But, I also think that he should have done more research about other jobs outside of factories in China and compare them.  He was only focused on the apple factories and I think he just made his judgement on that.  It sounded like that he thinks that if working conditions in apple factories are bad then they must be bad in other factories.  I think he should have gone to some other non apple factories too and it may have strengthen his argument about working conditions in China if they are all that bad.

Mr Daisy argues that the working conditions in apple factories are bad but, I wonder if he considered about other facts for his argument.  He didn't say that the workers were slaves so they are working there on their own free will.  They are aware of the working conditions and they still stay on their own will.  They could leave if they felt the working conditions are that bad.  It's probably hard to find a job there because of China's mass population so I think people will stay with a job they get no matter the working conditions so they could support their family.  Working conditions outside the factory could be far worse and pay little too.  For example working in the rice fields could be far worse than working in the factories.  Their local jobs could be worse than the corporate factory jobs.  The suicides in his argument do sound bad but he doesn't know why.  It could be because of stress that the suicides happen.  The could be other factors too though.  A worker may have gotten fired and finding another job is really hard so they just commit suicide.  There is just a lot of other things to consider.

I think Mr. Daisy made a decent argument about working conditions for apple factories in China.  It was an experience that he shared with other people.  His experience was the only argument he had though.  There are just too many gray areas to make a full argument on though.  He should have done other research to go along with his experience.  Mr. Daisy would have had a more solid argument if he done some other research and had proof.  All I have is his word and not much to back it up on except for the last 15 minutes of the show.  There was another interview with another guy and apple didn't want to be on the show.  It is not much to go on.  They do mention other things like the rice fields that Daisy didn't touch on though but not really in detail.  There is a just a lot of gray areas that I think Mr. Daisy should have touched on to strengthen his argument.  There is not a lot of information that I can make a full opinion on about the working conditions of China.
