Have you ever wondered why you are getting things for so cheap at the discount store? Not just because they buy in bulk, but cheap labor! The employees that work there that you treat like crap!! And the hidden employees that are overseas in the sweat shop making that shirt you just bought for a dollar! People are so ignorant to this type of stuff. Really though, all we are concerned about is saying a buck here and there. It’s like we need to stop and take a look outside of our environment. Saturday I saw this documentary called, Dying to Tell the Story. This was about photojournalists in a war zone. I watched this video just for a class but like two minutes into it I was so involved. The people that live in these parts of the country are starving! Then here we are in America taking advantage of people worse off than us. We eat out at fast food joints almost everyday if not everyday. I wish America could wake up and realize how great we have it. Instead of complaining about petty things, we need to stop and take a look at all the good we have.
