I think that the products being manufactured here in Bangladesh is helping the country. I think so because the main way they are getting money is by exporting garments to other countries. The garment industry is the biggest industry in Bangladesh. So overall I think that this is helping Bangladesh. One thing to consider is that, if the other countries stop importing garments from here then Bangladesh will be in trouble because there will be no one to buy their garments.
A question I had was, what were they doing to the jeans in the sampling room at the Up2Date office? I thought that the jeans were already finished when they came to the office. An observation that I made was that the people at the factory were wearing masks. I think it was a good thing because then when dust that is all around it won't make them sneeeze or let germs in. I also saw some people wear head caps. I asked my dad why they would wear them and he said so that their head stays clean. Two other reason are so that loose hairs don't fall into the garment and so that it doesn't get caught up in the machine.
