I realized today that the world can be really unfair. Around
1998 it was put out there that Nike, sportswear, had been mistreating their
factory workers in sweatshops. They would use buff scary people to keep them in
their place so they wouldn’t protest about the horrible wages of $1.25 a day!
In Indonesia, the living conditions are horrible due to the fact they barely
have any money to support themselves and their families. Imagine living in a
small concrete “house” you called home, and then you go outside and have to
walk through the sewage covered streets to get back to your job where you works
hours upon hours. This video upset me such when they had the part where golfer
Tiger Woods by wearing Nike sportswear, makes the equivalent money a second
that’s enough to buy someone a house in Indonesia. How is it just because a man
is an excellent golfer that he’s basically swimming in money, and a man in
Indonesia has to struggle to make enough money for his family to live another
day. The children in Indonesia never have the chance to get education, because
their families can’t afford the price of school. How can this world grow if the
children of tomorrow can’t get a proper education to help the world grow and
develop? There has to be a change about this soon or there won’t be any hope
for humanity left!
