Thinking...
Ok, så jag har precis suttit i min ensamhet och bölat lite framför "Deep Impact". Skulle behövt ett speciellt sällskap, men du skulle väl bara suttit och skrattat åt mig då, eller hur?! ;)
Get to the point. Jag blir tagen av filmer som denna och t.ex. Armagedon (som är klart mycket bättre så klart). Tänk om någon som det verkligen skulle hända? Jag menar det är ju inte helt omöjligt! Vad skulle man göra?! Inga superhjältar som kunde rädda jorden, och ens enda hopp är ett mirakel. Suck, ja jag vet, depparstund just nu. Men tänk igen, har man verkligen tagit tag i ens liv och gjort det mesta utav det? Jag ska snart börja göra det till 100%, ska bara se till att bli klart med plugget först! :)
Ok, I've just cried like a baby, on my own, diwnstairs in the sofa in front of "Deep Impact". I would of needed a certain someone for comfort, but you would probably just have laughed at me, right?! ;)
Get to the point. Films like this and e.g. Armagedon (which is by far better) really "touches" me. What is something like this would actually happen? I mean, it's not totally out of the question! What would you do?! No superheroes who could save the planet, and your only hope would be asking for a miracle. Sigh, i know, it's a bit depressing to talk about. But think again, have you really pulled yourself together and made the most our of your life so far? My plan is to start doing that to 100% soon, just gotta get through university first! :)

Corporate social responsibility
Ok, har precis haft en relativt trakig forelasning i Corporate Social Responsibility. Sitter nu i bibblan och tankte fa lite jobb avklarat. Far se hur det gar!
Under forelasningen pratade varan lecturer om child labour. Det ar hemsk! Nar man tanker efter hur bra vi har det egentligen, som slipper tvingas ut pa arbetsmarknaden forran antigen efter gymnasiet/universitetet eller efter aventyrat runt varlden. Aven om vi arbetar deltid under skolgangen sa har vi fortfarande privileget att verkligen fa en utbildning. Tank de barn i tredje varlden som tvingas arbeta, for ingen lon alls, fran barnsben. Och VI koper deras varor da och da. Varor som har gjorts av sma barn, under valdigt daliga arbetsforhallanden. Gap, Primark etc ahr blivit utmalade att anvanda barnarbete for sina produkter, men tanker man verkligen pa det nar man koper t.ex. en t-shirt?
Apple har aven dom anvant sig av barnarbete i Kambodja (tror jag det var) men de havdar att detta ar BRA for barnen. De producerar iPods at apple, och utan den lonen de far for det skulle de svalta ihjal och inte overleva. Det ar Apple's argument och justification till varfor barnarbete anvands. Ar detta ratt? Visst stammer det till en viss grad, och den minimala inkomst de far for sitt dagsarbete kanske ger mat for dagen, MEN det ar fortfarande sma barn. Alla borde ha ratt till en "normal" barndom, men tyvarr ar det lattare sagt an gjort i denna varld...
Ok, we have just had a relatively boring lecture in Corporate Social Responsibility. I'm right now sitting in the library and was planning on gettign some work done. We'll see how that turns out...
During the lecture, our lecturer talked about child labour. It is awful! If you think about it, we have such a good life by not having to enter the labour market until after gymnasium/university of after travelling around the world. Even if some of us are working part-time during school, but we still have the privilege to get an education. Think about the children in the 3rd world countried who are forced to work during shitty workconditions. Gap, Primark etc have all been targetted for using child labour to produce their products, but do we really think about that when we buy a eg. T-shirt?
Apple are also using child labour in Kambodja (i think), but they argue that it's GOOD for the kids. the pay they get for making the iPods helps them from starving to death. This is Apples argument and justification for using kids. Is this right? Sure, it is to some extent sicne the minimal income they get might give them money to buy food each day. BUT, it's still kids we are talking about. Everyone should have the same right to a "normal" childhood, but unfortunately that is easier said than done in this world...
