ERA stands for equal rights amendment, which makes sure’s that there is protection for both genders I believe. This amendment was passed by the congress in 1972. According to the article Virginia Just Became the 38th State To Pass the Equal Rights Amendment. Here’s What To Know About The History of the Era” states, “SECTION 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. SECTION 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. SECTION 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.” These sections that were on the amendment is basically saying equal rights shouldn’t be denied by any states base on sex, in the second section it’s saying that congress should take action and in the last section is processing the amendment. Therefore I think it was right what they did by putting it section by section. After looking at the snapshots from my classmates the one that caught my attention was the image by Junie Vallon, in the image you can see that it’s like a large group of women, holding up posters with female symbols and a sign that say’s equality I believe, base on what I see is many women protesting for equal rights. After watching both videos “Triangle Returns and The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire”, it was interesting because I don’t think i heard of the triangle shirt waist this is something new to me. From what I seen the triangle shirt waist was a factory in New York City that became a disaster in history. The factory got on fire and people who were in there only had two way’s to get out. In the video it had mention that 146 people died in there and that many of the people who couldn’t make they decided to jump of the window but they only did it so that there parents would have there body’s. In my opinion I think since they didn’t have no other option to escape from the fire was to jump of the window. I think that it was not the best thing to do but when you run out of options of what else to do is like you freak out and try to think fast. Another part of the video that caught my attention was when it was talking about the people having to jump of the window and he said how the worker’s who were on the ground thought that it was clothing falling of the window. Which to me is like how or what made them think it was clothing falling and not people. At the same time because of the smoke maybe those people who where on the ground probably couldn’t see as much who knows. Therefore it’s sound crazy to me because it’s humans falling of the window especially from a high floor.

The global Sweatshop economy was another issue that was mentioned in the same video as I mention before. In one of the factory’s workers were being payed at a wage of 28 cents an hour. This amount of pay is not okay because your not making enough especially depending on the amount of hours you have worked. The fact that these workers also end up demanding for 35 cents an hour and gap and other company’s did not do is like why can’t the change be made. In the video you can see that many policies were attacking these people and they honestly didn’t deserve that. Overall I think that it was a big major issue that should be fixed and those other companies should have raise up there wage pay to 35 cent’s an hour.
