One of my favorite British stores is Primark. It is known for it's great prices and selection and is a well known store throughout Great Britain. Just this past summer a news broadcast gave information that many of the clothes provided in this store are provided by children in third world countries. I was shocked, however, it caused me to realize just how often we buy clothes or other items and do not realize where they came from, or the effort that may have been taken to make them. I now check most of the things I buy and research to be sure that I am not buying from a place that recieves its clothing through such methods as child slavery and such.
Oh, I also found that after this broadcast Primark changed it's ways and now fights against other companies who condone working children.
