I. Introduction

I. Introduction

It cannot be denied that every year, thousands of foreigners come to our country. Above all, southeast asia and mainland people take a good part in them. And no matter what is their purpose, most of the reasons are the same -- work. We may well say that this is a natural situation in the present days. While this may be true, but sometimes we just ignore what is the consequence that it may cause.
You can frequently find them looking after the old or children, sweeping the house, even dividing the labour in a industry, and so forth. However, during these exhausting works, do they possess the same condition of equality? Racial discrimination, including extra work hours and unfair treatment, facts such like these can be seen everywhere. Therefore, misapprehensions between two nations are easily to occur. To begin with, we searched for the history and origin of foreign workers in Taiwan. According to what we found, the major entering was in 1989, when the government promoted the “14 Major Construction”. In consequence, the shortage of labors resulted in the incoming of more and more foreign workers. Since then, they began to play one of the important roles in our society. Next, we looked for the incidents that corresponded to these kinds of issue. It was not difficult to find articles, especially news report, about them. So many were the conflicts and problems that they even seem to be normal nowadays. We barely stop to think that this, however, is some sort of discrimination speech. Conversely, the mass media is the main instigator, misleading the public that those labors were inferior. We should know that the free speech is often necessarily needed to be regulated. And by the questionnaire is obvious to see that out attitude needs to be corrected.
Also, it's necessary to make a interview to find out what they really think and need. And find out how to better it. After all, it's not fair to judge them just because they are from other countries. We’re not superior, so each group should assert their rights. By some anti-discrimination laws may find a suitable way to better our society.
