PENSAMIENTOS SUBORDINADOS:


An I-pad is an extraordinary device; however, it is not affordable for me at the moment. Although I think it will be one of the first things I will buy when I start to work. I can use an I-pad to complete exercises while I travel by bus, whereas I can’t use my I-pad to complete exercise while I’m driving. When I will have sons I will give them my Ipad so that they can use it and learn with it. An I-pad is good for children not only because it is easy to use but also because is highly-interactive and sturdy.

SCENARIO:

1)      Production cost are rather expensive in developed countries
2)      We in developed countries are going through a period of aggressive consume
3)      In countries of Africa or Asia, there aren’t any control about labour


SWEAT SHOP = FACTORY WHERE PEOPLE INCLUDING CHILDREN EARN VERY LITTLE MONEY FOR LONG HOURS OF LABOUR

BIG COMPANIES WILL NEED TO BECOME MORE ETHICAL, BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF ETHICAL SHOPPERS IS GROWING AND GROWING

MORE DIFFICULT AND MORE DIFFICULT

PRODUCTION  HAS MOVED TO THE EAST, WHICH IS A PROBLEM FOR US BECAUSE NOW WE WILL HAVE TO FOCUS IN THE PRODUCTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL PRODUCTS.
