Consumer Society

In my point of view it isn’t human that ten-year-old kids or even less work for big companies making running shoes. These kids don’t have the opportunity to go to school to learn and enjoy their childhood.
Companies exploit these kids with marketing campaigns, with hard work and miserable wages. They are very selfish and they only care about their success and money.
Nowadays our society consumes too much and buys things that are useless, things that people want and not things that they need. It’s very important that people start to think about these kids and everything that they are losing.
We can survive without big brands and we can wear clothes and shoes which don’t have a specific brand.
We should stop buying these products in order to give a decent live to poor kids. If they were our children, we wouldn’t like them to be exploited. So think before buying expensive goods and support kids from third world countries.
