Nike
As you look down at your new shoes, shirt and sweater with a small check mark and the word Nike displayed. You're proud to show up at school with your new wear, to bad you didn't see every tear, every whip and every splat of blood that went into that. Well the truth is that Nike has promoted child labour illegally in foreign countries such as Indonesia, China and Vietnam and managed to drop the minimum wage on these people. That's disgusting, whoever is running this so called sports company obviously doesn't have a heart, and if they do it's colder then ice. How the hell do you take something away from people who have absolutely nothing. First of all they are working in a factory because they don't have a good education or no job opportunities are available, and then there are these freaks who think it's alright to rip people off. Children are dieing in these sweat shops to make a stupid pair of shoes or a T-shirt, well if you want your clothing so much, make it your damn self. People know what Nike does, yet they still buy their products. Nike's slogan is "just do it", do what? Ruin people lives? That sounds like a great thing to do, god if I were the person behind this I'd hate myself for making such a terrible living out of the misfortunes of other people. There are a lot of terrible things in our world that are really hard to stop, such as poverty, murder or war, but this is a thing that CAN be stopped in seconds. Not that hard, just stop the labour, and if you can't find any body to work for you, well than that's to bad. Nike has already destroyed thousands of people's lives with their cheap labour, so honestly in my opinion they deserve nothing. I hope that it does stop, but considering the selfishness of what people are like today it will never happen. That's the sad cruel reality these people are going to have to face. Children will have to work in these sweat shops for their whole lives, never experience love friendship, family or school. They will never be able to grow up due to our fashion statements. Well Nike, you know you and your little logo"Just Do It", if you ever want to be honest to people, I'll give you a better name to use "Just Sew it".
