THE MONSTER AND HIS KEEPER

In the Reading "The Noble Feat of Nike," a piece by Johan Norberg he argues that the expansion and reach of nike into foreign countries such as Vietnam is a good thing he explains that now they have double the wages they would have on a farm, double the jobs available, healthcare for the workers and bicycles to ride to work. But Johan has missed many large concepts that are very important and devastating to the Globe. First off he didn't mention that vietnam has very poor air quality and as a factory zone, like in a piece by Naomi Klein, she mentions that factory zones are independent of local and state law. So air and land quality is completely devastated. Also, like in Jamaica, as presented by a piece by Dicken, the reason people can't farm and make money is because of globalization and the opening of borders, so like in jamaica, where the banana was once the number one export, now they have to compete with world established business and the WTO with Chicueta. Johan also forgets to mention that according to the HDI, the vietnamese HDI is below the world average of .68, vietnam is .59, one of the WORLDS LOWEST HDI's below the Average in Asia as well.
