The Slow Downfall of the U.S.A. Imagine that the world has entered into a war with no predictable outcome. Countries fighting against one another with no clear sides or allies. The U.S. is nowhere to be found on the battlefields, in the skies, or even in the sea. What could have happened to the powerhouse with the strongest military in the world? Because of weakening foreign relations, decreases in the protection of America, and the negative effects on the families of those who serve in…

clothes are made and who makes it is simple enough, but would we as a society ever have thought that the people that make them for us live in extremely poor conditions?

This barrier maybe hard to overcome as some product may need specific requirements which aren’t available worldwide.

whole world. Although it affects all of us, the bigger and worse impact is on the poor people of developing countries. This is due to their lack of ability to help themselves. They do not have the resources that they need to at least adapt if not make it better. We live in a selfish-minded world which means the people who have the greatest ability to help, do not.
