Every day all of us are surrounded by thousands of Chinese, Indian, Taiwnese... stuff. Is very difficult to find national products in all directions: electronic devices, clothes, decoration... Most of the items we need are produced in underdeveloped areas. The low cost of production in those countries have moved most of our industry to import and produce there. It causes unemployment and a hard competition with the local shops. But the issue is the result of our acts. In fact, at least me, I don't have brought my industry to China. It has done it rich and powerful people. But, nowadays, they are even richer than before, while there are many closed shops and the biggest taxes of unemployment. I also have to admit that our fault is to buy always the cheapest item in the shop, forgetting their provenance. Now, my question is: has it been a good bet to look only for low cost products? And the answer is: not, definitely it hasn't been a good decision. But it's just our fault? We could choose? We CAN choose? Or society said consume! and we just consumed? There are a lot of ethic questions to do about this topic. I fear I have a limited knowledge to speak about this topic so I am going to let the questions at the air, to make you reflect.
