What I found out about the people that make alot of my belongings, such as, China, Vietnam, and Mexico and their working conditions was very different from the United States. In most developing countries the working standards are not as good as we might have expected. Most of the factories pay below minimum wage with little/short or no breaks, also the work can be very tedious and is hard to maintain after so many hours of doing the same repetitive actions over and over which can sometimes lead to minor health conditions. For example, arthritis in the hands, joint and muscle pain, headaches, ect. But the U.S cannot judge the standards of other countries based on its own because not every country can afford to be like the U.S. especially if the money is highly needed. Most workers that are working for an american multinational company get paid eight times the average wage than working for any other company in their own country.
