Hi,
I had to answer some economic questions. Could you please look at them and correct any visible grammar/spelling/logic mistakes? Thank you very very much in advance.
Any single correction is welcome!
-------------START-----------------
1. What advantages and disadvantages do you see with the introduction of more automated plants?
From the companies point of view, more automated plants mean more profit, because firstly they reduce expenses by cutting a lot of workspaces and secondly they increase the quantity of production, which leads to bigger profit.
Looking from the consumers point of view, more automated plants increase the quality of the products but on the other hand they reduce workplaces that leads to a bigger economic disbalance.
2. Can you agree on areas where you think it is a good idea to use them?
I think that demand for the quantity and the quality should be pleased, because it leads a more comfortable life. But some limitations (e.g. production quota, the minimum requirement of employees) should be added to decrease the level of unemployment and to reduce the economic disbalance.
3. What will industrial workers then do?
The governments should add some restrictions for the companies. For example, a requirement to have one employee per fixed quantity of the production would be a possible solution to the problem of unemployment.
4. Is it the end of work, as we understand it? And the beginning of The Leisure Society?
Our economic systems is based on producers and customers. Producers produce, because customers buy. If people don?t work, it means, they don?t earn any money. If people wouldn?t have enough money to buy any product, a company would stop producing that good. Basically, the beginning of The Leisure Society is the end of our economic system.
5. What do you think about training people to work in such plants?
As the responsibility taken by one person increases, training courses should be toughened.
6. Who decides what should be made? What is your opinion of this?
Both customers and producers tell what should be made. Producers can heavily promote their product and to make people believe that they need it. Producers can even form a trend and to make their products popular. But consumers have a right to chose whether to buy a product or not, or maybe to chose an alternative. This free will also affect of what should be made.
7. What are the advantages of manufacturing processes where only one person is needed?
Less expenses. Easier to control the staff.
8. What prospects do you see for the spreading of such operations and processes in your country?
Automated plants require a lot of starting investments, that?s why companies in Lithuania chose a cheaper way to start a production line. As my country is starting to get more and more investments from other countries, automated plants should replace current plants as it?s cheaper in the long run.
