So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Relationship Between Ethically Responsible Clothing And Human Rights

By Sarah J Jones

The knowledge of general public has vastly increased over the past few decades and people have complete awareness about ethically responsible clothing. For the benefit of the society, there is increase in the demand for ethically responsible clothing. To gather the understanding of ethically responsible clothing and its association with human rights, we should know what it exactly means.

The initiatives of deliberately buying all those products, which are made with ethical responsibility, involve the term ethical consumerism. The consumer is wise enough to know which clothes are made without hurting any human, animals or the environment; therefore, they are demanding for such type of clothes. This means the human beings, who worked together to create the clothing, were provided with good working conditions, were paid regular salaries and were treated fairly while they worked in the factories. Hence, we can say that the respect for the rights of these people generated the term of ethically responsible clothing.

As far as developing nations are brought into consideration, due to economical disparities, the working class labour is treated very unfairly. Men, women and even children are willing to risk their lives by breathing and working in unsafe and insecure environments, merely to earn very insignificant and inappropriate sum of money. Since they are living in under-developed areas, are uneducated with regards to their rights, and are willing to compromise anything to satisfy the basic needs of food, clothes and shelter, these people are mistreated and are taken advantage of by many large companies.

The basic idea behind ethically responsible clothing is to protect the rights of the labour, who deserve to be treated well, given good salaries and working conditions, even if they are poor and uneducated.

Prior to the existence of ethically responsible clothing, workforce in factories were being mistreated by their employers, who wanted to make more profits and save money. These poor people were so desperate to earn money that the companies made them work more than the allowed hours, without any holidays and on a very less pay. Most of the time, they were not even paid for their work, and were beaten by their supervisors for taking even one holiday being only worried about saving their production costs.

The mission of forming the term responsible clothing is to make sure the workers in the third world countries are being given good working conditions. Government is involved in this vision and are ensuring that these people can run their homes and feed their families properly. Not only do these people deserve to be educated but even their children should be educated so that they all know what their rights are. Also, they should all get the required leaves and holidays, which are the right of every employee; the critical ones include maternity and sick leave.
