The Leslie T. Chang exploiting globalization keynote, sheds light on the people that work tirelessly to produce many of the products we use in everyday life. She believes that by putting so much focus on our gadgets, that we’ve rendered the people on the other end virtually invisible. She is concerned and wants to bring awareness that Chinese workers are not as she says, “tiny and interchangeable as the parts of a mobile phone.”
She acknowledges that these workers choose to do these jobs to make money and learn new skills. However she points out that in the debate about globalization, the voices and thoughts of individual workers are not often heard. Chang talked to a number of female factory workers, to gather their points of view. Somewhat surprisingly however, she finds that despite the many negative consequences of this work, it doesn’t actually outweigh the good that comes from it.
It is an interesting keynote on how factory workers feel and how we should learn to pay more attention to where and who are goods come from.
