In class we read an article from the New York Times called "In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an Ipad.” The article is about worker conditions in the overseas areas (china) from the article you can tell the conditions are harsh. The article also talks about an explosion at the company and the factory not really doing anything about it. The title is very confusing to some but if you actually read the article you will see human costs are peoples lives. The article also talks about safety problems; the problems are the aluminum dust and the ventilations not working. The people stand all day, and work for so many hours, and hardly get paid anything. They are told to spray the devices screens with poison then they whip the poison off. They protection they wear is hardly protecting them. Most people were injured from the explosion others were killed. The company told the media so many times they will do something about this but they never do. The same thing happened only weeks later.
In my opinion this is sad but this won’t stop people from buying apple. They are bribing the injured with paying for high medical care and agreement with laws. People like Ms. White of Harvard says there won’t be an actual change unless the costumers do something about it. I totally 1hundred percent agree the people have to do something about it to make the company change there ways. What if it was your family.
