Standard of living

             Standard of Living and the Quality of Life
             Today's companies should not be responsible for the standard of living and quality of life of their foreign suppliers. Many of the major companies like Nike and Mercedes-Benz have moved their factories overseas or in other countries because of the minimum taxes and regulations. For instance a celebrity was recently under fire for having her clothes made in India. They were making around 70 cents a day. Being Americans we thought they were getting ripped off and that the celebrity was taking advantage of the people working for them, in fact they probably were, but we do not know how much money you need to survive to live in India. It might be $0.05 a day or it might be a lot more. It is not right for us to tell other people in foreign countries how to live. We can't just go to India and say "You need to build your houses like we do in America. The minimum wage here is $6.75, etc." It is not our right to do that. Foreign countries have a different standard of living than the United States.
             Companies should be responsible for making and keeping their employees happy. The companies should not be responsible for their quality of living. Companies do not know how their employees would like to live. All the companies need to do is keep their employees happy in the work place. Once they are off the job they can do whatever they want to make them happy. Their employers should not be held responsible for how they live their life outside of work.
