Where Are You Wearing?
This is an interesting article that I found on Relevant magazine (usually a fairly liberal Christian magazine). I've often sympathized with sweat shop workers and talked about what a tragedy it is that people are abused in such a way. This story makes the idea seem much more personal than mere facts, though. The author of the article brings into the spotlight a family in China who work hard in a Teva manufacturing plant (this makes me feel a tad guilty, because I have supported this company). This brings into sharp relief my ethnocentric (and ego-centric) ideals. I'm at a loss for a solution to this dilemma, though. Does anyone have any ideas for ways that God would have us remedy this problem? I know I will be praying about it.
