India Outsourcing Companies Ramp Up Hiring As US Demand Grows - 1 views

  •  
    In this article, the author talks about how companies are relying on outsourcing to hire employees. Its odd because the companies think it is better for US mainly because they are able to keep their workers and not that they are able to provide Americans with cheaper service. It also made me realize the small percentage that Americans make up of the workforce. This means that there is huge competition between American and Indian workers because they are both competing for the same jobs. But Indian workers have an advantage because they have lower wages. Companies want to choose Indians because they get to save money even though its putting Americans out of work. This is a disadvantage because then Americans won't have money to pay for the services or products.

A few studies have proved that it does not conflict but the results are still unsure based on the conditions that both experiments were tested under. But RFIDs are safe enough to have in hospitals as long as they are far away from the equipment.

    The issue is that there is a lack of open medical record systems in developing countries. Because of this diseases are being spread when they can easily be prevented. The thing that people were doing that gave rise to this issue is that in some countries, diseases were being spread at a faster rate then in others because of lack of background medical information. the impact that this has on people is that people in developing countries are spreading diseases at a faster rate. So diseases such as HIV and Aids are spreading in developing countries such as South Africa because of lack of medical background. The stakeholders are patients. The IT system is open medical record system. The area of impact is health. The social and ethical issue is equality of access. By having a medical record of everyone, people will be able to be treated equally because the doctor's will have their whole medical history.
