VALUES AND ETHICS IN PRODUCT DESIGN

VALUES AND ETHICS IN PRODUCT DESIGN

Pineapple is a company designing and producing mobile phones. Currently these phones are designed in New Zealand, made in China, and transported to the Auckland depot for distribution to shops.

Recently factories in Kabul, Afghanistan have been promoting themselves to global manufacturers as businesses that are being encouraged to grow as Kabul attempts to recover from years of war. Kabul factories are even cheaper than those in China.

For the same quality manufacturing costs are up to 200% lower.

All the workers in the Kabul factories are women and must wear Burqas at work.

Women workers earn about 50% less than men.

What should happen?

It is proposed that Pineapple should move manufacturing to Kabul
