This week we learned about suffrage, ERA, and labor rights. I remember learning about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire a few years ago. It’s incredibly disturbing, especially knowing how preventable it was. Honestly, it reminds me of a lot of other instances where there were disasters, in which the deaths were preventable. One consistency I’ve noticed between a lot of these events is one thing; the disregard for human life. It’s awful that things like this have to happen for change to occur, but unfortunately, it makes sense. It’s difficult to fight against oppression, and sometimes, horrible things need to happen before people fight for their basic human rights. However, even with a lot of the changes in the last century, a lot of these problems are still present, practically worldwide. I feel like there needs to be a new movement, something that can impact people’s rights and general well-being on an international level.
