Hidden Face of Globalization Part II

In the global economy, corporations demand enforceable laws - intellectual property and copyright laws - backed up by sanctions to protect their products. However, when we ask these same companies, "Can't we also protect the rights of the 16-year-old who made the product?," the companies respond: "No. That would be an impediment to free trade!" Young garment workers in Bangladesh share their experiences working for companies like Disney and Wal-Mart.

This is a continuation of the Hidden Face of Globalization Preview.

Seriously, disney can't flip more than 17cents an hour for the workers? All of this is just so fucked up. I feel like a dickhead just sitting here commenting on youtube.

I send a link of this video to white American girls. And I have seen they don't give a rat's ass to what is going on in the world. All they care about is their boyfriend and party Friday night.

Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.

That is just a demostration of how world powers have spreaded a Cancer called neoliberalism trough all the world, globalization is just an speech, to make look neoliberalism fine. that is a fact, there is no valid argument to support globalization as a promising idea for the future, but off course, you Gringos and europeans dont´t give a fuck, always you guys are fine, the rest of the world doesn´t matter.

Another things is WHY they continue produce kids? If so poor then stop it! Their kids have the same destiny later, by the way. No, they still make 4-5 kids each.
