Writing Feedback / Sweatshop about clothing and a child does not have education, workers very poor and get low wages [3]

Sweatshop is those factories that hire juvenile in very low price to manufacture clothes. Juvenile workers can not have a good education as other same age students. Instead, they have to work at these factories to increase the income. Low wages and long labor time are the characters for these factories. Today, sweatshop can be found all over the world, especially in developing countries, such as Bangladesh, Thailand, China, Syria. For instance, workers in Bangladesh forced to 14 -16 hours a day seven days a week, and they face unsafe, cramped, hazardous condition which often lead to work injuries and work fires. Therefore, we should stop buying cheap clothing and realized that sweatshop should be prohibited.

Most poor people work in the sweatshop in developing countries, an estimated 168 million children ages 5 to 14 are forced to work. In Bangladesh, 3.5 million workers in 4,825 garment factories produce goods for export to global market. And 85% workers are women. As we all know, more than 1000 people killed and more than 2,500 people injured by the collapse of the Rana Plaza sweatshop. But the day before it happens, the inspector told factory management this is a dangerous building that they must move out. After that, all of the first floor to the fourth floor's people move out. Except above the fourth- floor factories workers, because factories management told them there was no security issue and ordered them continuing work, then tragedy happened. People who work in here has no opportunity to choose, they are only paid about $25 a month. They do not have holidays, very weeks only on Friday, they can have a half day for a break, then continue to do the same things over and over again.

In China, there is more than 482 million people-36 per cent of the population live in less than $2 per day. The average monthly salary includes overtime for poor people is $338. The sandblasting used to make denim. In 2009, about 2,000 workers suffered these occupational diseases. If in severe cases, it can lead to death.

In Thailand, the garment industry is the largest export industry in this country. In 2005, the minimum wage was $4.21 a day, which workers complained that was not enough to buy powdered milk for their kids. The mother of a girl worked in this factory, her hands were through by a needle twice, although she knew how dangerous it was, she worried about her daughter may lose this job.

In fact, a company just via "fast fashion" this way to make cheap clothes save the customer so that they can earn more money. All kinds of advertisement, celebrity represent, spam message. They use different ways remind people to buy new cheap clothes. It causes people buy more than they need. Not workers, not companies, instead is customers. The more cheap clothes they buy, the more workers they lead to die. Opposite, if customers buy less cheap clothes, higher price clothes, sweatshop worker's working hours is decrease, their wages in the increase. This is a real improvement for their poor life.

Young sweatshop workers cannot get a good education as normal. There are 215 million children aged 5-17 years old involved in child labor. Over half of these children are under the age of 15, 9 million are under 12 years old. In Rome, 15 million children of around primary school age, they are working at factories instead of at school. Because children in here who get a chance to have a good education can not receive higher wages as adults. Therefore, these children more likely to drop out of school.

If there were no war in Syria, children would be in school. Almost 80 per cent of Syria refugee children living in Turkey, and they are work in the factories. In here, ISIS ruled the country even every school, if they go to school, they have to face explode. But they and their parents hate it. They prefer to factories find a job. Hamza: a little boy who's father was killed by ISIS two years ago, the only source of finance was from his mom. Unfortunately, he had to drop out of school because he had two little brothers. Certainly, he also said he love school, and he misses writing and reading. Even his mom said, all her children have to work, or they can not live. All the family was the same when they spent more money than they earned, they have to borrow money or let their kids went to factories.

In Bangladesh, a nine-year-old girl Meem, work in the factory. As her family becomes poor and her mom was pregnant, she has to work in the factory. Because her family needs she to help boost the income, and she thought it is responsibility for her to work. There are many girls as the same age as her, work in this factory, too. Every day work from 9 to 9 pm, except lunch break. Overall, it becomes their life that they cannot control it.

What can we do to stop sweatshop produce cheap clothes and help worker's lives are getting better? Sweatshop is an inhumane working condition, if clothes can sell by $50, the workers only get 30 cents per piece. What did customers do before? Almost people like to buy cheap clothes, especially in price-off promotions time. In the shopping mall, when customers see some clothes store put a sign of 50% off or buy one get one free in the doorway, they must walk into the store. But they do not know these clothes are made by sweatshop workers. Assuming that company does not have sweatshops, how do they make the money?

Customers are the biggest beneficiaries. Sweatshop workers made clothes for them. They should protect them instead of bringing them more pain. Here has some way to stop sweatshops: Boycott. Overall, customers can give some pressure to a company, and ask them to make sure workers condition is changed, then they can continue trust company. Ashi Pujari, an associate professor of marketing at McMaster University. He said, "I don't know any customer who'd like to buy cheap clothes when they know that conditions in Bangladesh are growing poorer."

Campus groups, press from college students. They lead some overseas factories like Nike factories, slowly get better conditions: cut back on child labor, use less dangerous chemical and need fewer workers to work 80-hour weeks.

Shop ethically and buy less! Sweatshop condition violates human rights. As a customer, you have to buy and support local products instead of sweatshop products. And do not buy flimsy, trendy items clothes that made in two weeks. Also, do not treat yourself as sweatshop treat society. Even though you may not see where is made product, if you knowingly buy something from a sweatshop, your purchase is directly saying you support the decision for poor people to work in sweatshops.

In conclusion, please help this poor person who is making clothes for you! Don't make unfair wages broke their life, these children need a chance to have a good education, adult workers need a job that can encourage the income for their family.

Writing Feedback / Technological dependence - Social Science final exam [3]

Technology dependence is the use of technology that connects with physical, psychological and social function. At present, human focus is primarily on phone technology. It can affect not only the individual things but also in human's relationship, family's communication, and work. In 2013, according to a survey, in 12,000 adults, 61% millennial(18-24) believe it can making people less human, 59% millennial felt that society has become too depend on it.

Humans are more dependence on technology at present. With the techology develop quickily, humans are more dependent on technology today. Techology makes our life easier. In modern life, everything with techology is close, such as Elevator, Wi-Fi, Oven. Without phones, human cannot remember friend's phone number. Without phone, they may feel embarrassed to talk with each other face-to-face. Besides, who wants to chat with others may drive to their's house and talk on face-to-face, they just sent message or talk on the phone. If ask people to give their own opinions about if human more reliable on it, it must be in one sides, 77% people has the same answers that human more reliable on it. Thirty years ago, kids are play sports and getting oxygen outsides. However, more than 75% childrens are plays video games and staying doors now. Many people are good at communication in the internet, but in real life, they are too shy to talking in the public. They are too dependence on it, that make them lose the chat function. What will happen when they are typing and computer is stop working? They may get angry and annoyed, especially they are typing some important content, after it happen, they cannot do anything.

Before cell phone come out, there have a lot of different ways to transitional information. In the first human societies, before written language evolved, people developed ways to send their messages over long distances. Some tribes used special drum beats to send warnings or important information. Messages were also sent by relaying information by beacons and torches on hilltops. The Ancient Greeks used a person to deliver a message during the Battle of Marathon. In Ancient Rome, they used horses to delivered messages. Pigeons used by deliver messages in Ancient Egypt. In 12th-century England, kings used messengers send messages to other countries. In 14th and 15th-century England, dukes talked in the public.

In the first half-century of European printed the book quickly substitution the the manuscript of earlier generations. In 1631, Newspaper came out in French. In 1791 Claude Chappe develops the idea of a line of hilltop towers, each bearing a structure with two hinged arms. The first mail coach runs from Bristol to London in 1784. In 1854, reporter started report the develop of a battle. In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Graham Bell both designed telephone, Bell patented first, then he won, In 1876, the first vioce of telephone is a big successful for Bell, and Bell's famous first words "Mr. Watson -- come here -- I want to see you."

Electronic products of radiation affects human's brain activity. In 2015, a French study showed that the brain EEG photo is changed by GSM cell phone radiation. In 2011, a U.S. study published in the well-known《Journal of the American Medical Association》 interpretation that 50 minutes of phone can changed human brain glucose metabolism in the area of brain closest to the phone antenna. It may effect human's cognitive functions and cause blood flow volume changes.

According to the nearest survey, more than a billion of people plays video games every day. Because of they spend lots of study time to play video games, it cause their's grades decline. In turn, when human play video games, it may activation different parts of brain, such as the left ventral striatal circuit which is an area involved in reward predict. And humans brain may produce a kind of chemical substances called dopamine, when humen play video games, it can make they cheerful and addicted. Researcher are also focus on the seat of hippocampus, learning and memory. Interestingly, the increased volume of gray matter in people who play video games is depending on the types of video game used.

When they use the technology, their brain may revolve slowly and make them habituation. Moreover, with the debate over the violent video games, these findings allowed to rethink scientific information about video games having a positive impact on personal and social lives. When these people play too much violent video games, they may produce some sociopathic thought, such as become a murderer in the real life, use knife kill real person, do something same as the video games.

If human too dependence on technology, their brain may atrophy; if they use GPS to find the way, they may lose the ability to find the way by themself. If they too dependence on it, they may lose the ability to think by themself. At present, human too reliable on it, it make their brain is degeneration. As they type more words in the computer, they cannot write down at paper correctly and when other person asked how to spell this words, they cannot answer at once.

Human are spending as much time in staring at screen as they sleeping. After they use phone for a long time, it occupation their free time and their eyes may get hurt. Follow technology develop, people staring at screen is more than before, it caused they have eyestrain. A 2015 report from The Vision Council, Hindsight Is 20/20/20: Protect Your Eyes from Digital Devices, found that 61 percent of Americans have experienced eye strain after prolonged use of electronic devices - nearly 2 out of every 3 people. Long-term damage or not, we have an outbreak of eye strain on our hands. What can they do to protect their eyes? Keep the screen have certain distance from eyes, after every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds time to relax eyes. Make a eye exercise or go outside to stare at trees or mountains. Technology is already control human's life. When they have a break time, although they are sit together, everyone staring at cell phone. In addition, in study, students cannot leave it, translate words or find resource, they must use internet to find it. They more dependence on it may lead a negative consequence, have a technology addiction. It also caused by stress from exams and they wants to remit it. How to solve this problems? Find a positive way, such as listen to the music, take a walk. By the way, they spend sleep time to play video games, it may affect academic, anthlatic and social skill, and lead to have a angiocardiopathy. If they have an addiction on it, it may change to a hazardous substance and stay in their body. Although it can achieve humans's requirement, it cannot oueruse, a moderate technology resource is helpful, oppsite, it may become a illness caused by themselves.

Technology make life too convenience. It also affects human's life. First of all, human's communication skill may decline caused by advanced science and technology, they do not have social skills to talk with others in the real life, even if they looks knowledgable in the internet. Nowadays, everything is increse, technology change human's behaviour head and shoulders above genetics. In the internet, imformation is hugeness, they can find everything want they want. In addition, it can help they solve some problem. Technology's evolution may affect biology evolution, they too reliable on it, lead genetics in their body may change. Sometimes, no one attention to it, they just think it is convenience for them. In the future, when they use more advanced phone, computer and other technology, who know is biology evolution or technology evolution. Like the Wired founder Kevin Kelly, believe that human lives in age of technology. In his book《What Technology Wants》he writes: " Technology wants what life wants: Increasing efficiency; Increasing opportunity; Increasing freedom; Increasing efficiency." Technology make human work out what they want, increase happiness in the life. At the same time, some thing is decrease. When they have time, take out phone and staring at it for a long time, they do not give eyes fre time, thier view in decrease. On the weekend, children spends time on their video games, have a less time to stay with parents. They should put electronics away, spend time to talk with parents and friends, or go outside to breathe fresh air, close to the nature. In the future, human only need a machine to connect with the world. Machine control everything, it become a necessities same as meal in their life. One day, machine stop working, human cannot do even the most basic things, they lost a part of genegtics that can lead them to think about.

In conclution, nowadays, human too reliable on technology. However, it have two sides: on the one side, make human not bored in their free time and make everything is convience for them, a electrics can connect the world. On the other side, it control human's brain, even change it.
