"iPad"

I read an article called "In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad" by Charles Duhigg and David Barboza. Its about the workers that work in factories in China helping manufacturing iPads. In the article the authors use background information and sources/quotes from people who work in the factory, or their families. "Just two weeks before the explosion, an advocacy group in Hong Kong publishes a report warning of unsafe conditions at the Chengdu plant. I think that this is an interesting topic. I think this is an interesting topic because its making people aware of whats happening behind closed doors. It can open the eyes of many people who buy from apple and not even know the hard labor and underpayment that the people who help manufacture their products undergo, most people might not even agree with it and would even stop buying from the company. After reading this article it changed my way of thinking it changed my way of thinking because i never knew the things that some people went through and i didn't know that the amount of people who lost their life where only because of making something that is enjoyed worldwide. Their procedures are bad. And they're not taking any pro cautions to change anything. Like the fact the most of the factories that are burned down are from the fact that they don't have good ventilation which that problem could be solved and its not even that expensive. The fires where caused by aluminium dust. I can relate this article to blood diamonds. I can relate this to blood diamonds. i can relate this to blood diamonds because most people didn't know people where getting killed over diamonds and how people put their life in danger for them.
