WRITING- GLOBAL ECONOMY

Our topic is fast fashion. There are many fast fashion levels now, for example, H&M, UNIQURO and GU. Many people wear clothes which sells in fast fashion store. Fast fashion provides us close in fashion in low price. It looks very good because we can buy clothes in fashion easily. However, fast fashion has some serious problems. Why can fast fashion levels sell clothes in so low price? Because there are people which are exploited by companies. Many supply chains for fashion need low skilled and cost labor. According to the survey of “Good on you”, it is said that “Around 260 million children are employed around the world, of whom an estimated 170 million are engaged in the kind of child labour”. Children is forced to work under bad condition for long hours with low wages. They have little or no rights. Not only children but also women are working in bad condition. Poor child and women are sacrificed for fast fashion. In addition, fast fashion cause environmental problems. The serious environmental impacts in fast fashion industry is the use of synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers contain the material’s carbon footprint three times more than cotton. Therefore, fast fashion is useful, but we should consider the negative impact of fast fashion before buy them.

weekly jounal 5: The bad train "Saikyo line"

Today, I will talk about Saikyo line. I go to University by Saikyo train and Tokyutoyoko line. Saikyo line runs from Kawagoe staition in Saitama to Osaki station in Tokyo. I think Saikyo line has many problems. First, many groper in Saikyo line. The number of groper in Saikyo line in 2004 is 2201, and the number is the biggest in Japan in 2004. Saikyo line took measures for this problems. They introduce women-only carriages and security cameras. However, in 2014, 2000 gropper was still in Saikyo line. Second, the last train is too early. The last train of Saikyo line leaves 23:55 at Shinjuku station in spite of that the last train of any other line is 00:00~00:40. Finally, many delay of train happen in Saikyo line. It is the most serious problem for me. For example, from April 22 to May 21, the train delay happened 24 times. Therefore, I recommend you that you should not live near Saikyo line.
