The
day after I get my iPhone I hear that the factory in China that is
manufacturing them employs 13 yr olds. This would never, ever be allowed
in the States. We deem this unfair and cruel. Yet, it is ok if they
aren't in America? Guilt crept in. I try to be careful & aware about
what I purchase, but I let my guard down for an iPhone. Reading this
article nearly brought tears to my eyes. What can ...we
do?! How about every time you use your iPad, iPhone, or any other
electronic device for that matter, think about whose hands have touched
that item before you even bought it. Think of their quality of life. Was
someone beaten in the process because they didn't work fast enough? Did
someone die at the factory while making it? Use those thoughts &
feelings next time you make a purchase. Check where it was made. If it
wasn't in America, chances are those people aren't treated right.
Research companies you buy from. "Your dollar is your vote." All I can
think to do right now is share, spread the word. Maybe someone smarter
than me will create a plan of action. Use these devices that people
suffered to make for us to spread the word. Let's protect human life.
amen!
