Issues in globalisation. How fair is fashion?
Description
Using the international fashion industry as a case study this resource asks: what is globalization, what are the causes, and what is the role played by TNCs? It then looks at the effects of globalization and asks what are the pros and cons and who benefits? Filmed in Bangladesh, it compares the working and living conditions of textile workers employed in large scale factories in Dhaka, with those employed by a small rural fair trade fashion initiative. An engaging resource that will provoke much thought and discussion.
