As noted in the two articles assigned for this critical thinking assignment (“Chinese Drones Made in America One Company’s Plan to Win Over Trump” and “Coming to America Chinese Textile Companies”), America (since the early 2010s) is beginning to experience something called reverse outsourcing. Because of the economic climate in many areas of the United States, and the industrial infrastructure many American cities have (for example, all the shuttered factories and desperate workforce), foreign companies are now bringing their manufacturing jobs back into the United States. However, as we saw in the documentary, workers are being paid roughly a third of what they used to make when they worked for American companies, and any discussion of unions is categorically discouraged. Where do you assess America’s role on the global stage today? Where do you see America’s position in the world twenty years from now? Can America compete on the same level with China, given each workforce’s practices?
