WALA the different events going on around the world.
Today the article we were assigned to is called "Black Gold". It is about people in China, been made to cut their hair off and let others use it for wigs and other accessories. Here is a couple of things I picked up during learning about this article.
I think this article has hidden messages in between the lines. I think that the message is “Don’t hurt innocent people because of what you want’. NZ Herald said that they searched around the whole of China for the founder or man responsible for the problem and finally found him. No more information about him was added EXCEPT that he was forcing woman and young girls to cut their hair off for his products !
To me, The personal purpose of the article was to get the idea of “Humanity” and “Human Rights” in people’s heads because what’s going on around the world isn’t fair and it isn’t right. Everybody should be able to have a say at what’s going on in their lives and if somebody else makes decisions for them that they don’t want to do or go through with, then they should be able to speak up !
I think the reason why the demand for hair is so high is because the hair used for making products is virgin hair. Virgin hair is when you've never dyed your hair and it's all natural. Also because most people around the world have issues with their sculpts and wigs help out so much ! Wigs also help out when someone has cancer and in need of a wig !
Even though wigs are made in negative ways, they really help out around the world ! If we didn't have wigs, then when people around the world are having health issues and they need one because of the loss of hair, they have to live life until it all grows up without any wig warming up their heads and covering up. Another thing is that girls around the world love to use hair extensions to finish up their hairstyle and without those little girls giving hair all the time, ladies hair styles would be incomplete.
A highlight of this article for me would've been the little poem at the beginning of the article. It goes like this......
"The woman with the new hair looks in the mirror and smiles. Her face is framed by 60cm of caramel blonde. The hair feels just like her own; it looks like her own and smells like her own. But it was bought, not grown. A world away in rural China, the girl who lost her hair looks in the mirror and cries."
One thing I didn't enjoy was reading about what those poor little girls had to go through during there lives. If that was my daughter, I would just die her hair so they didn't take it away from her....
Here is a link to the article I've read today...
I hope you enjoyed reading.
