Bangladesh Factory Fire

After I read this article, I could not believe that workers were treated with such brutality. It is so sad to think that 112 people from Bangladesh had to die because they were forced to work and were not allowed to leave. It is hard to imagine that Americans are oblivious to the treatments of these workers. I believe that we do have the responsibility to know where our products are made. More importantly, we should become involved in improving the situation. It is unfair that people from other countries are suffering while Americans take their clothes and things for granted. I believe that the government and corporations are responsible and need to offer better, more securing safe places for employees to work. They have the capability to help those who are treated wrongly. In addition, all workers deserve to be paid well. One of the Seven Catholic Social Teachings says that every worker deserves to have the same rights. More importantly, I believe that it is important that corporations do inspections on the factories to make sure that they are well conditioned.
