I have read a few different articles today. Some are about fast fashion where industries make you feel out of fashion after one weak. They also sell clothing that is made to fall apart so you have to be more. This is wrong but what is really disturbing is the people making these clothing. There is a eight story factory that collapsed in Bangladesh about a year ago. This was during work hours. more than 1,100 people were killed and more than twice that was pulled out of the wreckage with terrible life changing injuries. So many families were affected by this and now have no source of income. The world wide name brand industries that were produced in this factory donated money, but not nearly enough. what is even worse is that the industries new of these terrible and unsafe conditions, but do nothing to change them. The fashion industries also use child labor to sow sequins on to clothing. Though there are machines that can do this, they are very expensive and the companies do not want to make "unnecessary" investments. What I learned to day is that fashion is one of the most corrupt industries in the world. Questions that I have are why does the government let this happen? Why doesn't the government make those big brand name industries pay the families for there loss and cruel unfair, treatment?
