Ethical future
It is very important for the world as a whole to begin to change the way in which people act towards each other and towards the earth. Climate change, animal cruelty, and human suffering are all caused to a large extent by the general person’s lack of compassion for things that they do not feel affects them. If each person could spend a day in the life of a person or animal that was being mistreated by others, they would feel compelled to act in a different way fro the rest of their life.
One thing that is being done by the group Concern Universal is that they are trying to raise awareness of the unethical treatment of those people working in clothing factories amongst other things. Most people look to buy clothes from the cheapest possible place, with little or no thought about why the clothes may be that cheap. Surely when you are able to buy a pair of jeans for less than £10 or a t-shirt for £2, someone must be losing out somewhere down the line. People are working in factories for tiny wages in order to maximize profits for the companies.
If we all took more notice about where we were buying from and how these garments were produced and distributed, we would be able to make a difference to our spending patterns and habits. Concern Universal helps people to set up their own fair trade businesses and projects, so that people in other countries can make garments themselves and get paid a fair price for them. People seem more concerned about saving a couple of pounds buying a cheaper t-shirt, without thinking of the consequences. They would not dream of going for the cheapest possible basement conversions in London, as they would know that it is a good idea to pay a little more for better a better quality job, yet they are not bothered about the consequences of buying the cheapest possible clothes.
