I had watched The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. It was about how women/ teenagers had to work long hours, low wages, and also unsafe conditions. Women were not permitted to leave the factory or even take breaks, and because the doors were frequently locked to prevent this, many women were unable to evacuate once the fire broke out. The video focuses on the estimation of 500 workers, most were teen, young women. Today most people are not allowed to work more than 8 hours a day, they must have at least a 15-30 minutes break from their shift. The first video mainly focuses on the incident that happened on March 25, 1911, when a fire started in a bin of cotton scraps.  They work so hard and rarely even get paid enough. And end up in danger and death. I think a child shouldn’t work there because they are only kids and too young. These young people are supposed to be in school instead of working there. 

 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” focuses on how the U.S is lack equal right, regardless of sex and their Amendments. 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 shirtwaist. This is something new to me. From what I saw the triangle shirtwaist was a factory in New York City that became a disaster in history. Disasters like the sweatshop fires discussed in the youtube videos are very terrible, but it is due to their very visible nature that we hear about them in the first place. A total of 146 people died from that disaster. I feel guilty for the female workers from the video who were being treated unfairly by the patriarchy. Money is necessary for survival in the imposed capitalist systems in our current world. it’s important to know people’s intentions when you’re looking for a job or pursuing anything because sometimes they don’t align with your needs and intentions as a human being. Sometimes owners only care about their profit they don’t care about their employees life at all.  Another thing mentioned in the article is that there is a solution that helps protest  against violence towards women, lower wages and maternity leave.
