Political attitudes can come from a multitude of sources. Parents often make an effort to ensure that their children grow up to endorse like-minded political ideals. Parents with strong political views may even teach their children that those who oppose their own views are automatically wrong or misinformed. My parents have never seemed to be politically charged or informed. As a child, when I asked them questions about who they were voting for, they would tell me that those sorts of questions were private, and leave me without an answer. Now that I am forming my own political opinions, I consider myself somewhat lucky that I grew up politically neutral. Because of this, I am able to form opinions from an objective standpoint, and make decisions based on what I believe to be true, rather than blindly tuning into television, party politics, or family affiliations.
1. Is outsourcing jobs to other countries good or bad for America?
In recent years, major corporations in the automobile, communications, and manufacturing industries have moved overseas to take advantage of cheap labor and lower wages. Although this practice benefits foreign workers and may help to keep major companies afloat, outsourcing jobs is ultimately bad for the American economy. The current un-employment rate in America sits at 9.1 percent. Every job shipped to India of Ireland or wherever else is a job that could have belonged to an American. Every factory that has been moved to China could have employed hundreds of Americans, not to mention produce quality assured goods that are made to last, rather than cheap products that wear out but are designed to sell for low prices. If every major company that has moved overseas focused on the American economy and employing Americans, rather than focusing solely on profits and income, it is probable that the consumer approval alone would keep the company afloat.
