Factory Fire

I think this is a tragic occurrence that could have easily been avoided, had the factory had the proper fire precautions. Perhaps if they did, 112 families would not be grieving the loss of their loved ones. Personally, I do not think it is the responsibility of the costumer to know where our products are made, however I do think it is the responsibility of the government and the corporation. I believe that they should know not only where the products come from, but the working conditions these workers have to endure everyday, and also the safety measures the factory itself has. Just because I do not think it is our responsibility to know, doesn't mean I think we should be oblivious to it. This is not exactly related to safety conditions, but my grandmother checks the labels of everything she buys to ensure that it was not made in china due to the fact that jobs are being lost because of all the imports and money spent on items not made in the US. It is of course not her responsibility to know where these items are made, however she is aware of the issue and takes actions to help prevent it. This is how it should be with the products that come from unsafe warehouses. We as a whole should all be aware of the products and/or companies that have items made in factories that promote unsafe working conditions and unfair treatment to workers. This way, perhaps the issue is less likely to continue.
