still live in a capitalistic jungle. Although this book was written at the turn of the century, it still reflects the times in which we live. For example big business today does not care about the average worker. There is no such thing as loyalty to the employee. The only concern of big and small businesses alike is the bottom line, stockholders value, and profit. On a number of occasions In the process to obtain profits, the dedicated worker that contributed many years of his life and talent to building the company is discard. In addition, many large corporations are down sizing. Although down sizing is necessary at times quite, often it is done indiscriminately. Many large corporations when they are down sizing do not take into consideration most employees length of service , or the contribution they made to help build the company up. Most bosses and personnel managers are of the opinion that an employee work and he or she is paid, and that the end of it. However employer and employee relationship should go beyond work and pay. For example many employees bring to the job thoughtfulness, consideration, and ingenuity qualities and talents most often not required to do the job, but over time saves the company money Nevertheless, most employees are not compensated for the additional ir qualities or talents. Therefore, for these reasons and many more undoubtly I think that we still live in a capitalistic jungle. . In addition I have chosen as my theme? Industrial capitalism is an efficient , impersonal slaughtering machine that sacrifices its workers. Businesses take no responsibility for their workers. They use the strong and the young and discard the weak and old? I have chosen this theme because it reflects how most businesses operate today in the 1990. The methods for making profit has not change much for business people since the turn of the century. For example in New York City Chinatown many Asian immigrants still work in sweat shops, work long hours, paid the minimum wage , and are sexually harassed.
