Made In Bangladesh

Watching this documentary on where are clothes come from left me shocked. This documentary showed how the clothes from some companies comes from bangladesh for example Joe Fresh from superstore or George from walmart. The labour in Bangladesh is terifying, to see the buildings and the how the workers are being treated is horrible. Seeing how the Rana Plaza collapsed and left hundred dead and many injured is kind of scary knowing that they were making the clothes that end up here in Canadian stores and the fact that we arent aware about this needs to be changed and this issue should be dealt with. We should support the factories and make them strong, having emergency exists and having proper work equipment for example masks. Seeing how the workers are being treated is sad, they should hit and force the workers and lock them in with no escape. I think this isnt very realistic because they people themselves know they need to work in order to provide for their families. They shouldnt have to be forced to stay, because that should be their choice. I think overall Canadians should help with the factories because they are technically working for us.

Everyone is their own person and they have the ability to give their thoughts. -Creating and maintaining a safe and a positive environment I think I deserve a G because because I bring a positive attitude to the class. -Keeping a tenacious nature about our passion I think I deserve a S because I always have a positive attitude towards the class assignments but I lack at putting my opinion out there. -Providing others with similar opportunities as ours.
