Autoethnography Plan

Joe Giordano

My autoethnography podcast will explore the effects that big business has on rural economies in North Carolina.

Many northern companies export work to southern communities to avoid unions and to make higher profits. When these companies come to a new place, the often bring factories and business buildings; urbanizing the communities. Some North Carolinians are hesitant of big businesses and urbanization coming to rural communities feeling that these businesses would somehow damage their community; but they should not worry. Big Companies and Factories that come south, improve North Carolinian economies by providing jobs, stimulating spending, and reduces poverty in that community.  These companies are foundation of economic growth and more rural North Carolinians should be more open to the idea.

Most of my research comes from North Carolinian economists. They explain how these businesses do really good job of putting more money in everyone's pocket. These economists also agree that economic growth funds social revolution and education reforms and often does not damage the communities they reside in.
