During my CRS 321 class we talked about the conditions in the different countries. During the discussion we said that the people that make the clothes and the products that we use today do not know that they can have better conditions and there is a better world out there. So I feel as though the world needs to help the conditions in third world countries.



China also has a Dam that was built in Beijing displaces millions of residents into public housing.

China's mega-dam nears completion

BEIJING (AP) - China's massive Three Gorges Dam project has moved a step closer to completion as workers began dismantling an earthen wall that had kept its construction site dry, the official Xinhua News Agency said Thursday.

Tearing down the 81.5-meter-tall (250-foot-tall) coffer dam will take an army of bulldozers and cranes five months to finish, the report said.

The report said the Three Gorges Dam -- the world's largest -- is now complete enough to begin holding back waters of the Yangtze, China's largest river.

When finished in June 2003, the dam will be a wall of concrete 190 meters (590 feet) tall and more than two kilometers (almost one and a half miles) long.

Its reservoir will be filled by stages until it reaches 660 kilometers (400 miles) in length in 2009.

The $24 billion dam has been widely criticized as a throwback to communist central planning that will only damage the environment and displace more than a million residents.

China has a great deal of issues that need to be addressed from jean companies to engineering.

This is something to think about.
