All around the world, organizations and, in some cases, governments are working towards a better quality of life for all people. Some organizations include a social clause in all trade agreements, requiring countries to take some action against the extreme forms of labour exploitation. Some NGO's and international organizations help to promote effective governance by exposing corrupts and unfair practices within the government, and offer to help the parliament improve standards of living.
As I become more aware of happenings around the world caused by or affected by globalization, I realize how poor the quality of life is for some human beings. Everyday, there are things that anyone can do to help to improve someone from the other side of the world's quality of life, whether it be signing a petition on the Internet to stop human trafficking, or even buying organic, fair-trade coffee instead of free-trade. I believe that there is always something that we can do - we just sometimes have to search to figure out what that something is.
