Beyond the Swoosh

The stories of justice and charity in the New Testament must be related to society today. The condition and mistreatment of factory workers around the world must stop. The conditions the factory workers are forced to live in is horrific and they cannot meet basic needs with the salary given. Adults and children are taken from their daily lives and forced to work countless hours a day for so little pay. These huge corporations do not care about their factory workers and basically treat them less than human causing the workers’ loss of dignity. Jim and Leslie seeking justice for these workers by trying to provide a voice and raise awareness. Society today challenges us because so many of the companies we know do not support fair labor. It is difficult in today’s society, but we must try to raise awareness. In an ideal world, boycotting a company would solve a problem. I think if a large group raises awareness and boycotts a company, people could start to take notice. One person boycotting and raising awareness is not too realistic, but if many people begin to take action media awareness could be increased. The media must show people all over the United States and the world to raise awareness. I believe the Christian faith tells us to stand up for human rights and people deserve to have their basic needs fulfilled. We must all see this as a large global problem and take action to stop the mistreatment of workers.
