Two years ago, I set my annual travel destination in Cambodia. In Siam Reap, I met a local tour guide. In a chit-chat, he told me prostitutions were so common and natural considering the only chance a girl without much education is the job in a sweatshop. In I Phom Pehn, my tuk-tuk driver (who is a dodgy guy by the way) claimed his wife didn't work cos the only job she could find was in sweatshops for 2 to 3 dollars a day.
Back to China, we bought 3 dollar apiece Tee from Taobao or Vancl all the time. Honestly, they are economical. You won't spend much for a piece of cloth but yet still got a chance to show yourself from time to time. I never did any research or even read any articles about the story of these Tees. What I am curious is whether these Tees are absolutely have nothing to do with sweatshops.
I guess what I am saying is, Nike or other multinationals were picked for the target not merely because of their size and influence as they claim all the time. It's more like saying, hey, you guys as big companies have responsibility to do something good. We are not saying you shouldn't make money, but could you please consider others a bit? Set a role model, then build a industry protocle, make the whole indusry better.
So maybe, idiot, it's the system. At least we are starting to think about it.

昨天看了经济学人中文版的一篇报道,中国核武测试夺取19万人生命,一时间眼泪想要掉下来。之前只看过那些美丽的影像:年轻的生命相互拥抱雀跃,背后是浩瀚沙漠上空腾起的巨大的蘑菇云。那蘑菇云像是被净化了,与广岛上空腾起的不同,没有伤害,只有自豪与自尊。现在我知道了,46次的核武测试,将近有148万人受到核放...

对于胸怀理想主义的社会活动积极分子,我们常常怀着矛盾的心情,比如说,一帮学生深入广东某镇一知名跨国企业外包工厂,揭露其克扣工资、体罚、工作环境不达标、超时工作等行为,表述的血泪斑斑,激起社会对血汗工厂的猛烈控诉。这个时候,我们可...

原文:http://hutianyi.net/?p=935 每次一旦有大型国际会议,尤其与会者是政府首脑的峰会,例如G8、G20、世贸会议等,我们总能在会场外看到许多抗议示威人群。他们的诉求往往指向同一个方向:反全球化,反新自由主义。 那么这些抗议者为什么要反对这些被称为“全球发展趋势”的东西呢...

我唸廣告,我學習如何塑造品牌,我想知道如何操弄消費者,但是我讀《No Logo》,讀得不亦樂乎,讀到精神分裂。Naomi Klein所寫的這本《No Logo》被紐約時報推崇為「社運聖經」,很明顯這是本很左的書,難怪我在左右翼思潮光譜兩端不斷地來回奔跑,卻怎麼也停不下來,因為我只要一停下腳步就發覺自...
