This means that during war time, even if someone does not support the war, by remaining in that country that person is indirectly supporting the war. The author brings into focus mundane daily tasks such as making a phone call or washing with soap, that force the reader to investigate their own conscience as to what their everyday actions are indirectly supporting. The situation is relevant to far more situations of daily life than merely those of war. All of us can consider and reflect upon our choices, and what effect our consumer transactions have on the bigger picture. With the regular purchases we make on items such as chocolate and coffee, we indirectly support problems such as child labor and slavery through our sponsoring corporations that utilize such unethical business practices. This reality means that the need is greater than ever before for modern responses such as the Fair Trade movement. Mon, 05 Dec 2016 18:21:16 -0500
