The Fifth Estate: Made in Bangladesh was one of the most shocking videos that I have ever watched. It really shows the horrendous side of the industries and the lack of awareness to consumers of the world, myself included. The tragedy that was Rana Plaza was horrific, but it was inevitable due to the circumstance that the workers were given; either work in an unsafe environment or face homelessness and starvation.
Prices for clothing were the only things that I have ever looked at whenever I shopped in any store or outlet. I never really paid attention to the location of where the product was created because I simply did not care or bothered. I never knew that people were facing near-death everyday producing clothing that I shamelessly wore. I plan to be more considerate on the clothes that I wear so that the situation in Bangladesh may possibly get better and workers can work in a safe environment and make a decent wage to support their families.
