China Blue Video
China Blue was a very eye opening, it got me to think about all the things I have purchased. While I did my research for China Blue so I would have a bit of knowledge I learned quite a lot. The average worker made less than a Dollar a day. I also learned of the hardships that these people go through on a daily basis. They have to live at the factories, their whole lives revolve around the factory. The movie highlighted the fact that it wasn't just the factories that were causing such bad work environments, it was the westerners. The videos shows a Western company coming to inspect the factory. They gladly turn a blind eye to the bad work environment. These companies also force the factories to keep wages low. They also keep unrealistic deadlines so that workers have to work with no pay for months on end. This can be blamed on the factories for choosing such demanding work orders. There is also very little the workers can do. Workers try to rise up and the factory owners just threaten to shut the whole factory down. It is a very strange and difficult situation for these people.
