CRITICAL PAPER

As clothing is normally one of our basic needs, there is also an impact towards people and the
environment. It primarily gives people who have the ability to showcase its skill in fashion
designing and providing people's needs. However, such a clothing industry gives individuals a
developing career but on the other hand it gives a negative impact towards individuals and
employees of such industries. This is due to uncertain events that happened and thus, destroys
everyone's lives nearby such industry. Industries make profits but peoples lives were about to
lose. For example, making clothes through the environmental resources which in the future,
people will suffer the damage that certain industries do such as cutting down the trees for the
building, and making cloth out of the tree and animals. In the production process of such clothes
wherein many processes would undertake to come up with the outputs which is the product,
employees' lives are at risk whereby using chemicals upon making the product design and other
matters. Moreover, not only to the employees but also to the customers who were going to buy
and use such products.

Clothes that we wear provide us with confidence and fashion. However, there has to be a
hidden factor that we're going to experience and that includes health. Health of the people was
ruined due to inputs being added to the products that might be harmful to individuals especially
those who have allergies and as well as individuals nearby such industry who have a direct
contact with the harmful materials during the production process. In the environmental impact,
clothes that we wear were made of natural resources and such resources put our life at risk.
These risks include the employees of such industries when typhoons strike as well as floods.
These phenomena will occur when there's too much cutting down the trees without replacing
them.

Furthermore, the environment would also be affected in the times that other clothes would no
longer be used and thus, may ruin the environment when it was burnt. Also, it gives a negative
impact to the environment, may it be on land or sea when it is dumped anywhere.
Thus, I could say that in order to mitigate such issues, we have to consider first the
consequences of such actions. Also, providing quality products is necessary but we have also to
consider individuals' health problems and thus, minimizing the usage of chemicals in the
product. Lastly, I could say that by getting the resources, we have to take actions that protect
the environment such as planting trees in replacement to what we get. Also, we need to
consider that individuals have the freedom to choose and primarily consider their health within
and without such industries. The costs of the clothes also hamper the lives of the people.
