Exodus and the Ethics of Labor

Repression is repeated in the whole world history. Whether it was suppression of black Americans during Jim Ravens era or whether it was suppression of the Jews by Nazi Germany during the Second World War, oppression was an immoral act that humanity has not passed yet . In terms of how to fight oppression and promote equality, the Bible is regarded as a source of Christian ethics and makes people aware of how God wants his people to be treated .

Defining ethics means that everyone has something different. In this case, the morality I mention is to consider environmental, religious, labor, and social issues in making business and investment decisions. The United Nations has done a good job of identifying the goals that are consistent with the ethical responsibilities of the world society. For developing and developed countries, they have achieved 17 goals for the world we want to live by 2030. The 17 goals of sustainable development are as follows.

In the 1980s, the economy of China flourished and produced numerous industrial employment in the eastern urban areas. China relaxed a strict domestic immigration policy to meet the labor demand of the manufacturing industry. This has resulted in massive outflows from the countryside and has remained relatively unimpeded since then and has become intense in recent years. By 2014, there were 270 million migrant workers in China. The Chinese government thinks that urbanization is the key to the modern and vibrant domestic economy, and it promotes immigration models.

During the California Gold Rush, male Hawaiians migrated to the west coast of the United States of America. Due to the outflow of Hawaii and the declining local population, the local workforce declined, the importation of migrant workers from China, Japan and Portugal was promoted and 400,000 people gathered between 1850 and 1880. The number of European workers from Germany, Norway and other countries is small. From the era of missionary to the beginning of World War II, the economy of Hawaii was dominated by five powerful companies: Castle and Cook, Alexander and Baldwin, Theodore Davis, C. Beer and American Factors (Amfac) Approximately one third of the five companies are direct descendants of missionary families, or are immediately related to them through marriage. In summary, these companies have signed an agreement that dominates 96% of all operations related to the island's sugar industry and crops by 1930.
