Third Day

On April 23, 2013, three cracks were discovered in the reinforced concrete supporting a nine story factory outside of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The next day, after workers populated the building, Rana Plaza collapsed killing over 1,130 people. The collapse resulted from rapid and illegal construction of the top three floors. (Shirt on Your Back) This tragedy exemplifies the harsh working conditions of factory workers in Bangladesh. “Women account for over 80 percent of its 4 million employees, most of…

I am really excited to be with a lot of the councilors I had when I was a in camp. Also I would be working along side a lot of my friends I grew up with who…

Third World Countries Need Our Help Imagine our country is in great devastation, and there is barely any water for the majority of us due to the current global warming crisis. Our country is undeveloped and not a single person watching chooses to take concern over our dying nation. How would we feel? We would be scared and anxious about the near future. Unfortunately, this is how many third world countries feel today. Currently, they may not be at their highest points of development, but they…

different to show thanks for and this could vary from region to region. When one thinks about what someone in a first world country has in common with a third world country, there isn’t much that comes to mind.

Those studies may not apply to those desperate people in the third world countries that live in the unsanitary environments, but most still take the risk. This is the best hope for these families to get money. Some people think that selling an organ is morally wrong. The desperate people in the third world countries would disagree. Not…

globalization but so has the third world. The factory type jobs that are being relocated to third world countries, are nothing but modern day slavery, and actually hurt the people in the countries. Capitalism without globalization I contend, has outgrown the United States because the biggest institution that helped the United States become an economic behemoth was slavery. Without slavery, capitalist will seek to fill its void, which is labor that cost next to nothing that in third world…

The woman pictured is very skinny and very hollow-cheeked. At one glance, the viewer can tell she’s from a third world country. You could almost say she’s skin and bones. Her clothes are also loosely hanging off of her body to emphasize how malnourished she is. Authors depicting a third world country grieved by starvation commonly use techniques like these to tug at the viewer’s emotions. The tool works to make them feel empathetic, and it also…
