Dress for Success

Picture
The phrase, "Dress for Success", usually refers to dressing in a way that will make you successful. But did you know that some of our clothing choices make the lives of other people very difficult? Sometime people, including children, live on less than $1.00 per day so we can buy clothes at really low prices. They also work in very dangerous working environments and some even suffer abuse at the hands of violent managers. These situations will exist for as long as we continue to purchase the clothes that make the owners of these facilities rich while keeping the workers trapped in poverty.

Bullying

Most of the time, people are bullied because of looks, body shape, or race. But there's a deeper reason. It's fear or insecurity in the bully that is closer to the root cause.

Most bullying stops when a peer steps in and defends the person being bullied.
