About
This website was created for a school project. We had to research a modern, within the last ten years or so, issue in China. For mine I wanted to go more into the working conditions and specifically what caused the mass wave of suicides at the Foxconn factories back in 2010. As you can tell by the three pages on my website, we had to research the History of the topic, however far back we felt it needed to go, what the problem is, and what are some ways of fixing it. For the History of my topic I decide to focus on how the Factory was started and how Terry Gou, the founder and CEO, got his start in this business. I also focused on what values the company was started on, and which of those they are still following, For the problem I wanted to get real names and accounts for some of the people who committed suicide at the factory. I also wanted to know what the people who are still working there, thought of what happened and why they think this could have happened. I wanted to know what the workers see as the issues within the factory. For the future I talked about what actions the factory has already taken to help and fix the problem and where they see themselves in ten years. I wanted to show what they have done, what they are doing, and how they eventually hope that the problem will be gone and they can continue expanding the franchise.
