Dangerous clothing factories work conditions 

On 24 April 2013, in Rena Plaza, there was accident in which building collapsed killing and hurting a lot of people, mostly factory's workers. It occurred in a factory, in which clothing was produced for many different brands, and where mostly women around age of 18 to 35 worked. It made impact on how we look at factories work conditions, that aren't decent at all. This was not a single accident, there are thousands of dangerously built factories which shouldn't be someone's workplaces. This event started Fashion Revolution which pointed out overproduction of clothing, environment pollution caused by fabrics dye, and other chemicals that are needed for clothes productions, and which pollute rivers, but mostly it was focused on workers situation and dangers that could occur in their jobs, if their work standards won't change for better. Fashion Revolution Week catchphrase was question"Who made my clothes?", so people would know clothing factories work conditions so workers wouldn't suffer anymore, because of us wanting to dress nicely. Such social movements are really important for society, since it makes us think about what we can change for better.

    This post is quite a shift from the previous ones. I couldn't agree more - we have to start caring about how our clothes are made, how and where our food is produced and who is exploited in the process. It's actually quite easy to refuse to buy things unethically produced.

Man that conducts my extra english course is all crazy about health. He always checks composition of the food products and if there is something that is not healthy, he doesn’t buy it.  This made me think about how much time he wastes everyday thinking about what he’s going to eat. As a humans we live almost 100 years thanks to modern medicine and we are not ill that often. Paying so much attention to food seems to me not really necessary. I’m obviously aware how unhealthy food we are buying might be, but at the same time we are quite healthy despite chewing gum and drinking fuzzy drinks. I believe that it’s not about restraint but moderation.

You often see couples showing their affection in public. Not everyone would admit to that, but it's great satisfaction to show that you belong to someone and vice versa. People are afraid of loneliness and feel proud of achieving such relationship. Most of the people don't think only about love and desire that they have for another person. Social status that partner can give them and fact that they can show what a good catch they've got is also important. I'm aware that with time they often evolve into something deeper, but it's pretty shallow how it starts. In conclusion, people are more primary than they think they are.

I noticed that many people complain about young kids and teens being whole time on their phones. People recall their childhood when they were playing outdoors as this better way of spending free time. I remember when I went outside to play with other kids I didn’t spend my time in the most intellectual or even socializing way possible. We were just running around and irritating residential area’s security. Every generation has their own way of wasting time and none of them is better or worse. Times are changing and it doesn’t have to be necessarily bad. When they invented car people were complaining that people don’t talk so much with one another as before because no one stops on their way somewhere for gossiping with their neighbors.
