You think your job sucks?

If you think your job sucks, imagining working at the age of 10. Many people are not aware of this and would be very concerned to think that ten year old children are working in some countries. So the question lies, should we know where our clothes are made and by whom? When thinking about this topic we both decided that the most realistic answer to this question is simply no. We should not care where our clothes come from and who makes them we should just be happy that we have clothes and a wonderful country that supplies us with stable jobs. If we stop and focus on where our clothes come from and discover that very young children are making them for little money, most likely we will stop buying them and try to help these children by starting a boycott. However, what we don't realize is that we are actually hurting them by not purchasing the clothing. If these children can't make clothes they can't make money. If they can't make money then they can't buy food. When these children don't have food they can't survive. In our country we have it easy we are taken better care of than in several other countries. Therefore, it may be harder to understand why other countries make very young children work for long hours instead of sending them to school.
As customers, we should not be concerned about where are clothes are made and by whom for several reasons. Even though many of our clothes are made by young children who work in sweat shops, most people don't realize that the reason these kids are working is to help support their family. We also purchase these clothes to help keep them from starving. Yes, this may sound terrible to us because we are never around this in our country but the circumstances are completely different in other countries where the income is so low that if they don't work they will starve to death and lead a harsher life.

“Snowmageddon” and the removal of what it left behind

The snowmageddon did not only make an appearance in Oklahoma but it also visited the big city of Idianapolis, Indiana. Indianapolis spent nearly half it's yearly budget towards removing snow, 3.4 million to be exact, just in one week. More than an inch of ice and almost 4 inches of snow were left behind by the snowmageddon. Altogether the city spent $5.4 million on snow removal so far which is 75% of of the $7.3 million saved for this years snow removal, not counting the 19,000 hours spent by city workers eight days straight. When reading the newspaper article on this snowstorm one begins to feel overwhelmed and stressed. In fear that another snow storm might hit and there not being enough money to pay for it's removal. They use pathos in this article by using persuasive text and dramatic wording such as "fighting these winter storms" and "nearly". Indianapolis is showing great concern for the long working hours spent to make sure roads and highways are clear and how much money is needed to get the tools to use to be able to perform these tasks. Indianapolis is probably also worried about there being more snow storms throughout the months of February and March. This could mean completely running out of money to remove ice and snow off the roads to make them safer for people to drive on. This money problem would also effect being able to work long hours pulling people out of the snow who got stuck.
