Sweatshops are significant to people’s lives especially in developing countries that have low employment rate. Factories are located all around the world but are mostly found in third world countries. Although working in sweat factory means risking one’s life, sweatshops are factories that have a very poor and displeasing labour conditions. Moreover, there are many unfavourable factors as a worker in sweatshops, such as unfair working conditions, and lack of employee benefits. As well as, the…

John Deere, a name that is well known among all the farming communities. John Deere puts out some of the biggest farming equipment. When driving around on all the backgrounds you will see a lot of the big green and yellow tractors out there in the fields or just sitting on someone’s farm land waiting to be used. It’s a name brand that has been around for as long as I can remember. My father even worked for one of the companies in Minier for a few years. In this paper I will be discussing how the…

I managed codes; VTA, VTG, VTH VTT, and VTU. I maintained and managed over 1,000 NSN’s. These NSN’s are repairable assets supporting ground communications-electrics, air traffic control, and landing systems. Initiate and formulate plans and carry out projects through extensive and specialized original performance analyses and evaluations in data base system such as D200A, D043, LIMSEV, and Factor usage plus. I’ve worked as a skilled mechanic or maintenance worker, sales or service engineer, or…

Whether looking online or being present in the store, hair is something that should be taken serious. OPH, also known as “other people’s hair,” is very delicate and should only be sold if the quality is stunning. Great quality packaged hair can be perceived by looking at pictures of it, reading and watching reviews, and once the hair is in attendance, looking at it in its entirety. OPH can be seen as good quality by looking at pictures of it. The weave cannot be stiff! The definition of…

the U.S. Unit costs include all fixed costs, variable costs, and overhead costs involved in production (Walther & Skousen, 2009). For these manufacturers, I speculate that the unit costs of production could be calculated by dividing the total manufacturing costs by the…

Have you ever wondered if there could be an easier way to lift heavy objects without all the ropes, claws and wheels? Well not anymore, ever since the hydraulic crane which uses the force of water and pushes or pulls throughout the pipes and pulls up heavy items. This has been an innovation in the pulley and regular cranes. With something good there is one bad, if a person were to use pipes or steel which one would be more sustainable and last longer? As in all the other cranes this specific one…

The use of sweatshops by major corporations all around the globe is a pressing issue that is widely being ignored by everyone from government officials to the average consumer. The use of sweatshops is eventually going to be unstoppable if we don’t take action now. Some of the many factors keeping sweatshops open are the overlooking of the usage of sweatshops by multiple governments, as well as non-socially responsible corporations and how easily they can illegally exploit people living in third…

As a chemical engineer for a large chemical manufacturer I developed an excel tool that analyzed sales trends for our products and compared the sales history to trends in customer requests for those products. This tool identified markets and applications where customers were asking for information about products but they were not placing orders. I hypothesized that by analyzing these gaps we could discover when our customers were evaluating our product for a potential new application. This would…

During the Root Beer Simulation, I was assigned the role of the Retailer which means I was in the center of the supply chain. My job was to essentially guess what the customers would need four weeks into the future and order accordingly. Normally, this would be fine, however, in the simulation we did not know the other members of our chain or have any sort of prediction model. Due to the unknown of what the factory, the distributer, and the wholesaler would do this became a quite difficult…

In this essay, I will briefly describe the conditions displayed in sweatshops. Then from the view of Kantian and Utilitarian, I will answer the questions of if manufacturers are wrong to contract from sweatshops and what we as consumers should do about sweatshops. Sweatshops are all around us. Companies like Adidas, victoria’s secret, and forever 21 use child labor and grossly underpay their workers in order to make the garments we wear every day. A sweatshop, by definition, is an…
