ResponderEliminarI have read the article called "Thousands protest Bangladesh deaths" Published on 8th April, 2013.
Some days ago, a factory in Bangladesh was collapsed, causing the death of 304 workers. Now, the government want to know why safety standards were ignored in the construction of the building.
People from Bangladesh got angry and they started gettig fire to cars and factories.
People in poor countries who are workers from a factory, are working many hours per day in a sweat shop, in very bad conditions, and with very low salaries.
If the people look for a guilty, they would probably say that the guilty are great companies from rich countries. But... are them the real guilty? I don't think so, I believe the guilty are us, because we are the ones that buy the clothes made in poor countries.
But we can stop buying clothes made in poor countries and like that, we will make the owners of great companies close the sweat factories in poor countries.
