Globalization: a blessing or a curse?
....... How it could be a chance when there are existed disastrous circumstances, physical assault, forced overtime, sometimes failure to pay wages etc. Don’t you think that we live in a generation where no one has to suffer from bad working conditions? The modern technology continues to develop but why we can’t continue to develop our unacceptable circumstances? I should like to dwell briefly on a second point which is of great concern to me: Child Labour. I met some young children’s on the street in Bangladesh, so I took the opportunity to ask them whether they work and under which conditions. I was terrified because I found out that 10 out of 10 were workers for clothes factories. They told me that a lot of kids are workers. It seems like it was something completely normal, despite they were at an age between five and twelfth. What struck me the most in all that I heard was the hours per week of work and the preposterous pay. The younger ones between 5 and 11 have to work until 28 hours a week. The older ones between 15 and 17 at least 43 hours a week with a pay of only 3$ a week. Nevertheless I thought on my way back to New York a lot about the topic globalization and in which direction it will develop. There are many Chances of globalization but always leads to major difficulties. Natural awareness, global civil society, global togetherness, global market area, global trade but on the other hand westernisation, unsustainable lifestyle, interventions, global player and of course outsourcing. Let me show you some facts based on a few numbers across all over the world: 7.5 billion inhabitants, 1.4 billion humans with less than 1$ and over 145 million of child labour.
We all live in the same world. Every human being has right to enjoy safety and protection, and as human beings we have an obligation to help one another.
I don’t know how you will identify yourself with this topic but I will be more aware now and cautious of my consumption. I will forever Keep thinking about what I had experience in Bangladesh. It's not only important to think about the self-love it’s also significant to think about charity.
