In my UGBA "Colloquium on the Social, Political, and Ethical Environment of Business"(yes, this is the actual title) class today, a speaker informs us that how Uzbekistan governement and big businesses used child labors to collect cotton by hands in the corrupted government of Uzbekistan. They closed the school and send the children to the hot cotton field by schoolbuses.
It's extremly cruel and inhuman to exploiting little children like that. The love of money blinds those people consciences, if they have any. It's so sad that the pleasures of a few cause pains of so many.
In the video, I remember a 8-years old girl were asked "how long have you pick cotton?" She slowly responded with an innocent look and sad voice, "A VERY LONG TIME..." =(
How many times can I turn my head and pretend that I don't see? How many ears must I have before I can hear other people's cry?
