Story of stuff

I have recently watch a video called "The story of stuff" which tells us about where the stuff we buy in stores comes from and where they go.
Well there are not many of the consumers all over the world that think about where the stuff come from and why they are so cheap, also what consequences the production of the goods does on the enviroment we live in.
Consumption is good for the economy but there always someone who has to pay for it. I mean the natural resources shrinks as we use metals, wood and other things in the production, the clean air that we breath get more and more poisened by the smoke from the factories. All of this we have to pay for when the it comes to an end.
But the question is will it ever come to an end, when we don´t have any clean air to breath in and no natural resources to produce new goods. No i don´t think so, the humanbeing is a smart creature we will solve this problem before it´s too late by make goods that are more freindly to the enviroment that can be recycled many times, and during that time the world can rehabilitate it self.
The people who got to make this happen is the consumers, the factory managers and also the goverment. We all have to work for this without that anyone loose on it. Remember the workers who produces the goods got to have something to live on and if we stop consume some of thier goods they get no wage. So it has to be balanced in a good way.

Snooping bosses

I have recently read an article called "snooping bosses" were managers use a software program which allows them to see what their employees do during work, where they are and also what they do on their sparetime. Of course they don´t have access to satellites to see what they actually do physically, but they can see what kind of websites they visit and so on.

I don´t think that this is right. Surveillance can be accepted in jobs where the employees have a high responsibility according to the security level, like jobs in a goverment, but not on regular workers.
It has been to much focus on the workers productivity and this is a way for managers to control what the workers do so gaps can be filled with more work and then increase the workers productivity. You can say that the workers should more be like machines with no failures. But the workers are´nt a machines they are human beings and i think they should have the right to be it. I think that it´s good that workers can relax by doing other things that is not connected to work, as long as they do their job. In fact it could also increase the workers productivity when they do other things in small amounts of time. Afterwards they are more relaxed and maybe provides better results.

What about the surveillance on the workers sparetime? I think that´s even more insulting. I can´t see why the managers have the interest to see what kind of websites they visit, like facebook for example, what´s the purpose of that?
Well the answer to that can be many things but i think the main reason is that they don´t want that their employees are involved in things that can hurt the company in some way.
But if the managers have trust to their workers then they shouldn´t be suspicous, if they are, then they should talk about it with the workers.
