      This directly relates to site factors because in Shanghai, the land is limited and expensive due to it being a dense urban region. It is cheaper for businesses to establish factories in rural and suburban areas with proximity to junctions and highways. Also, businesses prefer to build horizontally, therefore needing more land area.

      I am surprised that the U.S. workforce had to be reassured that businesses wouldn't relocate all of their industries to China.

      Can we expect the same trend to occur in other less developed countries that currently possess key site factors, such as India, in the future?

      This connects to Kelly Gallick's current event on the survival of U.S. manufacturing as businesses compete with low-cost labor in LDCs. This statement portrays that keeping industries in the U.S. and not outsourcing to China would be beneficial. The manufacturing costs would be the same, while the U.S. provides proximity to markets, which reduces transportation costs.

      Though rapidly declining, the profit that can be made with outsourcing to other countries with a cheaper labor force can prove to be beneficial to businesses. How much longer until businesses see the shift from profit to loss with outsourcing.

      Outsourcing links to the geography theme of globalization, for it increase involvement with transnational industries and corporations. In addition, outsourcing causes businesses to become known in the region where products are being manufactured, initiating a closer-linked globe. Globalization promotes the cooperation with other countries to become successful in the world markets.

    This graph portrays the fluctuations in immigration to the United States, starting with 1850 until 2011.

    As depicted by the map, most Cuban Americans are born in Florida, especially in Miami. This is due to the proximity to Cuba from Florida.The second largest state having Cuban-born residents includes New York because the numerous job opportunities in the city provide attract migrants, therefore "pulling" them in.
