My chosen item is an Apple iPhone.

I will research about its origins and discuss

briefly about my findings using the 6 guide questions. The Apple iPhone originated
from the country United States, in the state of San Francisco by Steve Jobs on
January 9, 2007. The manufacturing of iPhones today is made over 43 countries
and 6 continents. Over the course of years, the manufacturing of iPhones focused
overseas, specifically in Asian countries. Specifically, China, Taiwan, Thailand,
Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia are the main countries that participate
in the manufacture of iPhone and the countries who bear the characteristic fit for this
role. Relatively speaking, iPhones which are made outside the United States would
cost less to make and more profitable to sell. The first point is the human resources,
employment outside the US which have weaker economic power cost less to employ
than the current employees working locally. This also ties in the materials used
overseas will cost cheaper, transportation cost will decrease because they have
manufacturing branches all over the globe, and a lot of countries in Asia is just
starting to industrialize which is being utilized by the foreign market. The main
profiters from this is the foreign business which is Apple, and their shareholders.
Overseas workers in Asia and different branches outside the US is the one being
exploited for cheaper labor cost standards compared to US workers. And the one’s
who suffer most are the local business from each country who is dominated by
overseas products such as Apple. The economy is set up this way in order for
general rotation of goods and money around the world, foreign business may benefit
a country through employment and investment, but they benefit way more compared
to the local country. The economy is setup for the benefit of big foreign business and
against local and small businesses. With my new discovery, I think the thought of
utilizing Globalization in order to unite the different countries of the world is good
however it is corrupted and blinded by the greed of each country trying to take
advantage of the foreign market and income. Hence, Globalization will only work if
people around the world truly seek unity instead of personal gains and selfish
exploitation of each other. Globalization can both divide and unite nations in terms of
different aspects such as social class, living standards, and the wellbeing of the
citizens of each country.
