The Structure of an Essay. H&M, or how shark defeats human rights.

We don't usually ask to ourselves where do our clothes come from, We just pick up the clothes we want to wear and that's all. Beyond this, we should be aware about what we buy, particularly when it comes from big industries. Most of the times, human rights are templed without any further. H&M, among other companies, has a dark trajectory behind it.

In 2014, three blogers joined on a trip to Camboya to work for a month for H&M, a swedish clothes brand manufacturing clothes.This is because they were taking part in a reality called 'Sweat Shop' . They had to live and work as they do it there, on equal conditions. One of the girls became surprised and desolated after seeing and experienced the cruelty of working like a slave. It is not an isolated matter, due to it is not the first time we hear about similiar news.

Anniken Jorgensen, one of the three blogers, brought to light the conditions of workers in Indonesia, as she was supossed not to say anything about what she saw. Workers are treated as they were little ants wich are not allowed to stop producing, while the queen live a fullfilled lofty life. Human rights dessapear between hours and hours of non-stop working. She reported this situation and nowadays, she still fighting to preserve dignity and worker's rights, at the age of 17.

We have become blind and deaf to this situation. When did we decide stop fighting, not only for our own rights but rights from unknown people? Why are we slept? If we take a quick look into our position, aparently, we don't have to fight too much for our rights because we live in a welfare state 'pretty good'. But, what if we had born in the wrong side of the world? What if we where the ones involved in that disgusting situation? We need to contribute rising our voices at the same time, to make a better and fair world, not only for us but for the rest of citizens.
