Question

I'm doing a discussion board on Apple iPhones and how harsh the work conditions are for their employees. I'm trying to tie that all together into my sociology class.

Answer 1

You might want to detail the working conditions and tie it in with U.S. working conditions and the ethics of Apple outsourcing this labor to China.
