Fair trade


In conflict areas, fair trade can help to bring peace and to fight against poverty. By giving people a decent price for their work and goods, fair trade organizations try to support jobs, improve living conditions. They also try to take away young men from terrorist organization,...

But there are some difficulties to overcome. For example Afghanistan is too dangerous to send inspectors. Another difficulty is that the people in conflict zones are very distrustful of each other but to succeed, they have to work together. A third problem is logistical, especially in the West Bank.

I like fair trade. It helps people and country on the long term to stand on their own. But fair trade can not help everyone, only a small amount can be helped. I hope it will force other companies to pay a decent price to their workers in third world countries and in conflict zones. In this way a lot of people can be helped.

  1. Dear all

    This blog is really going fine.

    Keep the interaction going and stay focused on the end products that you’ll have to come up with. Continue looking for specific case studies, interesting facts and figures that will Spice up your presentation and paper.

    All the best,
