World History
I received this from Janet Babic who is a tremendous teacher in my department who is now connecting the Industrial Revolution to our student's world today in the form of Apple. This clip is the first time that American cameras have gone into Apple factories in China and it does a great job of showing the positives and negatives of the factory work in China. It was very effective in getting the students to make connections to the mill experience in the IR and also demonstrating assembly lines, working conditions, etc. It?s about 17 minutes long, but it?s split into 3 parts and my students really loved it and we had some great conversation about ethics in business, etc.
