Global Exchange, "Fair Trade Chocolate and Cocoa: The Sweet Solution to Abusive Child Labor and Poverty"

The whole idea of chocolate being the sweet candy for people to eat nowadays is somewhat true, every now and then one can not help but want a treat here and there. Today is seems as if we people get more and more cavaities everyday. How cheap is it to purchase a piece of candy? How cheap is it to the producer or big businesses? The sad reality is that people do not always ask the questions after purchasing it. The economy and it's people are human being, that is those who come from foregin countries and those who are right out our doors that have been the subject of constant abuse.

After getting the chance to read over the article I found interesting insights to producers who allow abuse and poverty to contiune with workers. Big business owners can not help but have people working for low wages because of fear with competition with other businesses. If busniesses paided their workers decent wages they to would be placed in poverty. Does it make it right? No, I feel it does not make it right. All people are equal and if businesses can not afford to paid their workers than maybe that business needs to undergo adjustments. How does abuse get tied into this all? Abuse is an action that is done to be little and intimidate the other person making them the helpless victim. In order for large company's to gain controll the use of physical violence is demonstrated and thus there we have forced labor, which can tie into the concept of human trafficking. Signs of trafficked persons entail people who are submissive and fearful of leaving their work place, hence, people like those who make the what we all love "chocolate.' The way in which chocolate is covered with a paper we can connect it to how we conver up the curel production of what everyone takes for granted.
