Your iPhone is Killing People

There are many parts to an iPhone and many materials that make up this lovely piece of technology. But what are the dangers behind it and what are the sacrifices being made in order for us to enjoy that phone? The factory where they make these phones has such harsh conditions that the workers are miserable. They work long hours with short breaks if any. They work in uncomfortable conditions that have led some people to suicide. Is it far for these people to lose their lives or work like this just for us to enjoy our phones? Recently we watched a video with all of the chemicals that are in the materials used to make an iPhone. Thinking that people have to work with these materials on a daily basis is upsetting. If this problem was more prevalent in society and people spread the world, would things change? Would people keep buying iPhone's? Would the factory change its ways? No one really knows the whole story behind the production of iPhones. But if they did, what would change? The reality is probably nothing because the brand itself is successful and people enjoy their phone. This is just another example of us being selfish and putting our wants ahead of other peoples need.
