Discussion: Based on the experience of using wordless picture books in parent-child reading, what is the effect of child’s semantic development?

This discussion forum focuses on analyzing Case Study 11.1 (Being Worked to Death?) from your textbook. In at least one paragraph, supported by evidence from your text and from other research, respond to at least three of the six bullet points below: Explain if you are bothered by working conditions at Foxconn plants. Do you worry that the production of a phone might have contributed to a death of a worker? Describe how much blame, if any, for worker suicides should go to CEO Gou and Foxconn. To the leaders of Apple? Explain if Foxconn is being unfairly scrutinized, given that its facilities and treatment of workers may be better than at other manufacturing firms in China. Is Apple being unfairly singled out for criticism, given that a number of other electronics firms also have contracts with Foxconn? Express if Apple has taken enough responsibility for the treatment of those who manufacture its projects. Explain if Apple should accept lower profits to help those who work for its subcontractors. As an Apple stockholder, would you be willing to accept a lower stock price if the company did so? Describe if global shadows are cast in this case. “Case Study 11.1: Being Worked to Death? If you own an Apple iPhone, chances are that China’s Foxconn Technology manufactured it. The company’s 1.2 million workers produced the iPhone 5 and currently assemble the iPhone 6. In addition to making phones and tablets for Apple, the firm manufactures products for Samsung, Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Amazon, Dell, and Sony. Despite its size, few Westerners had heard of Foxconn until eighteen of its employees attempted suicide in 2010 by jumping out of factory and company dormitory windows.1 Apple customers wondered whether their devices had cost the lives of workers; Western and Chinese media outlets began to press Foxconn and Apple leaders for answers as to why so many employees were taking their own lives. Foxconn founder Terry Gou and other executives noted that the rate of “self-killing” at the company was close to China’s average. They defended the company’s labor conditions, pointing to the fact that workers are provided with food, dormitories, coffee shops, and swimming pools in a clean, campus-like setting. Indeed, Foxconn facilities appear far superior to those at many other Chinese manufacturing plants where, at least in the past, workers had to find their own food and places to sleep. Gou vowed to “leave no stone unturned” as the company tried to find a way to reduce the number of suicides. Large safety nets were strung around all company buildings to catch any future jumpers. The company also introduced suicide prevention centers and raised wages. Officials at Apple said they were “disturbed and deeply saddened” by the deaths. Apple then hired an outside organization, the Fair Labor Association, to audit Foxconn working conditions. Chief executive officer (CEO) Tim Cook traveled to the Foxconn’s Zhengzhou, China factory to investigate and commissioned a team of suicide prevention experts to make recommendations to Foxconn’s leaders. Unfortunately, worker suicides continued. In 2012, a group of workers threatened to jump off the roof of a Wuhan factory after their bosses refused to provide promised severance pay. In 2013, three workers took their lives over a three-week period. In 2014, there were at least six suicides. Union groups, human rights activists and investigative reporters blame the ongoing suicides on the military-like atmosphere at Foxconn plants. The story of seventeen-year-old Tian Yu illustrates the harsh conditions at Foxconn facilities. Yu jumped from a Foxconn factory window. She survived her fall but is paralyzed for life. Here is a description of her typical work day prior to her suicide attempt: Yu’s job was inspecting screens to ensure they weren’t scratched. She woke at 6:30 a.m., attended an unpaid meeting at 7:20 a.m. and started work 20 minutes later. Lunch was at 11 a.m. and she usually skipped dinner to work until 7:40 p.m.—a 12-hour day. Technicians from the engineering department time monitored every task and, if workers can meet the quotas, the targets are increased. Anyone unable to meet their hourly quota is not allowed to rest. Conversation in the workshop was forbidden.2 Mandatory overtime greatly increases the pressure on workers. One undercover reporter investigating working conditions at Foxconn had to work eighteen days in a row even though he repeatedly asked for time off. Another reporter, whose longest shift was 16 hours, described the fatigue he felt: “Every time I got back to the dormitories, I wouldn’t want to move. Even if I was hungry, I wouldn’t want to get up to eat. I just wanted to lie down and rest.”3 Exhausted employees rarely have the time or energy to enjoy the swimming pools or coffee shops provided by their employer. Instead, they return to dorm rooms filled with strangers selected to live together by Foxconn management. The Fair Labor Association reports that Foxconn workers are putting in less overtime. However, it is hard to imagine that the relentless demands on employees will ease unless Apple bears more of the cost of improving labor conditions. Apple executives could provide more funding to improve working conditions and/or offer more generous contract terms. And the company could afford to make these concessions. While Foxconn profit margins declined (as low as 1.7%), Apple’s profit margins soared to as high as 44%, making Apple one of the richest companies in the world. According to CBS money columnist Margaret Heffernan, Apple stockholders are increasing their wealth at the expense of Foxconn employees. You don’t have to be an economist to appreciate that this is fundamentally a redistribution of wealth, from the productivity of Foxconn workers to the shareholders. What that means is that the employees of Foxconn don’t just make our phones; they also fund our portfolios.4”

They believe that the student profile and neighborhood of their school are similar to those where the shootings took place. There is, therefore, a possibility that a similar crime might occur.The school administrators also think that a random search might be a good deterrent to keep students away from bringing guns or drugs to school. During the search of lockers, the policemen, who were asked to conduct the operation, also did a pat-down search of students who walked by.You are the defense attorney for a student in whose locker marijuana was found during the search. The student was also found to be in possession of the same drug during the pat-down search.Based on the case above, write an analysis that addresses the following questions:Do you believe that your client’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated under New Jersey v. T.L.O. (1985)? Why?How has case law changed with regard to school searches or other constitutional rights on school property, since the T.L.O. case?Should high school students enjoy the same constitutional protections on school grounds as they would on the street? Discuss the balance between student safety and personal privacy and explain where you believe the line should be drawn.Support your responses with adequate research and supporting data.

For example, when we are doing a group project, we learned from each other and we all responsible for a certain amount of works. With everyone’s effort, we produce a whole new thing. In addition, the quote, “Durkheim believed that earlier more primitive societies were held together because most people performed similar tasks and shared values, language, and symbols,” reminds me of why people with the same race always like to stay together because they share the similar language and value like Durkheim believed in. As a result, individuals with the same race come together and make up a society. Robert Merton also pointed out that society has many functions such as manifest functions and latent functions. The manifest function of college education allows us to learn new knowledge and prepare for our future careers; the latent functions of college education help us to meet new people and participate in events or activities. Knowing the meaning of structural-functionalism helps, we can study the issue of race and ethnicity before 1960s since this theory was useful during this time period.
