Watch these 3 short films and answer the questions below
I’m working on a Psychology exercise and need support.
1. What is your reaction to the film? What role do you think we play as U.S. consumers?
2. Give an example of each of the following terms as seen in the film:
2.a. global inequality – the concentration of resources in core nations and in the hands of a wealthy minority:
2.b. core nations – dominant capitalist countries:
2c. absolute poverty – the state where one is barely able, or unable, to afford basic necessities:
3. What specifically attracts global (US) companies to do business in the trade free zone in
Mexico and Central America?
4. How could each stakeholder (groups like US workers, Honduran workers, US Companies, Middlemen Factory owners, US Gov’t, Foreign Gov’ts) benefit from ensuring worker safety and higher wages?
5. Could these factories ever be brought back to the U.S.? How or why not? Explain.
6. What would Dependency Theorists (Section 10.3 (Links to an external site.)) say about the situation presented in the film?
