Fair trade
Do you know "Fair trade"? It's trade to buy something with appropriate price by developing country. For example, do you often eat chocolate? do you know the background of process to be made chocolate? There are so many childlen working cacao farm as labor. They are given very low pay. However, It's very difficult to stop it because there are many people who buy it--like us, developed country people. Fair trade is the way in which we can reduce the child labor. If you see the fair trade products, you are surprised because of the righe price. We have to think about it.

I don't like the idea of fair trade. It is because it includes a kind of superficial "faieness". Once people listen the system of fair trade, they may feel that it is good one. But, actually, this system is advantagous not to people in poor countries but developed countries or people who do intermediate exploitaion. It's easy to believe, but we should have proper sense to judge the justice.
