@19737161 That is a disgusting attitude. Awareness of this situation needs to be raised, and granted, I appreciate that there is nothing you as the average man on the street can do, but your foul attitude and complete disregard for human life is vile. We live in a developing world, but there comes a point where we have to choose between the development of our own societies in comparison to the destruction of others. Your point of view is ignorant. Also, I should point out, you are illiterate.

The cost of human life is less when the satisfaction of needs and demands of particular commodities is lucrative businesses to developing nations.

Who care if the Mobil Phone I’ m handed to my hands had wept the entire villages to satisfy factions of politicians or military fractions operated in undercover order of powerful nations.

Who care about the way the extraction of raw materials is done in third world, All we want to get rich but, the question which stands is ‘’how you got rich?’’.
