Skryté náklady na sviatky Tento obrázok je to, čo väčšina ľudí vo vyspelých krajinách, že keď Vianoce príde na myseľ. Bohu, to predstavuje len čast' reality. Mal som zjavenie po Vianociach 2008. My family and extended family (including those who are not blood relatives) urobili obrovské množstvo pomoci, aby ma cez nepríjemné časy, a dali tak moc sa mi. Takže väčšinou to, čo by som o Vianociach urobit', je vziat' si pôžičku na mojej vízum, a trpí s úrokmi, kým som zaplatil spät'. To bolo v čase, keď som sa sotva dost' peňazí na nákup potraviny každý týždeň. Mne, v čase, keď, to stálo za to, aby boli št'astné, keď videl moje darčeky. A cítil som sa, ako by som im dlhoval, ktorá v istom zmysle som to urobil a urobit', ale ja som sa im splácania k úplne zlým smerom. I had no idea of what the total scope of my actions were doing. Carey and Angela Price are two people who are well known for their philanthropy. Carey is the starting goaltender for the Montréal Canadiens of the NHL, and both Carey and Angela have used their fame and fortune as a leverage point to give back to their community. They also set a great example for what we all should be doing during Christmas. When they receive a gift from friends, they return it to their friends, citing that they have more than enough material possessions and do not need anything further. They encourage the gift givers to pay it forward to someone else. They also make a donation in each family member’s name to a charity, instead of giving a gift. It is easy to say that just because Carey and Angela are wealthy, that they can afford to do that and I can’t. But you do not have to be multi-millionaire to have a house full of stuff that you do not need, or to be encompassed in materialism. There are many less fortunate families who invest a large portion of what little they have and go in to debt all because of the social pressures of the holidays. And as mentioned, there are poor university students who can barely feed themselves who do the same. Is this really a financially sustainable and healthy way of living? Ask yourself these two questions as well. How many gifts have been given to you over the course of your life? How many of these gifts do you still have? And also this one: How many of these gifts do you use regularly? The answers are probably as follows: A ton, not very many, and even less. There are also many other more serious reasons as to why we should all adopt the Price’s lifestyle choices as well. Áno, I admit that there are times in which we need to purchase items, that is reality. But we can no longer ignore the fact that when we purchase items in excess, we are just giving our power right back to millionaires and billionaires. The salary of Mike Duke, CEO of Wal-Mart, was over 23 million dollars in 2013. To je 1,034 times more than what the average employee of Wal-Mart makes. Target’s CEO, Gregg Steinhaufel, made over 17 million in the same year, , Ktor 597 times more than what the average employee of Target makes. Even if you are making a low end 6-figure salary per year, their salaries are still over 170 times greater than yours. Why throw so much of your hard-earned money right back to the top of the financial pyramid? To je ešte viac skľučujúca vidiet', rodiny, ktorí žijú pod hranicou chudoby hádzat' svoje peniaze spät' do tých ľudí, ktorí stále ako minimálnej mzdy (alebo tesne nad) otroci. My všetci sme ľudia s rôznymi schopnost'ami, a niektorí ľudia v tomto svete, jednoducho nie sú schopní dostat' sa z takého postavenia, bez ohľadu na to, čo niektorí z nás by sa povedat',. Musíme ľudí k práci v obchodoch, ak chceme mat' obchody. Ak Mike Duke zomrel zajtra, alebo všetkých pracovníkov vo Wal-Mart zomrel zajtra, which would have a greater effect on the company? Not only are businesses like Wal-Mart and Target not offering a fair wage, they are capitalizing on the social pressures which are contributing to keep them disempowered. I can hear what some people are saying now. “But it is their choice whether or not they want to buy stuff at these outlets.” That’s absolutely correct. And what I am saying is because of the reasons that are listed in this article, people should choose other options over the holidays instead, ako je napríklad nákup miestnej, nákup z druhej ruky, dávat' na charitu, a robit' svoje vlastné dary. Poďme preskúmat' účinky, že naše spotrebné návyky majú na zvyšok sveta. Musíme si uvedomit', že to nie je pracujúcich a chudobných krajín prvého sveta, ktorí sú najviac disempowered ľudia. Jedná sa o pracovníkov v pracovných táboroch, ktorí pracujú v bezbožných podmienkach. Skúste nájst' jednu osobu v Severnej Amerike, ktorý nebol vykonaný nákup, ktorý bol vyrobený z detskej práce. Som vinný i tohle. Urobil som zmeny v mojom živote v poslednej dobe v tomto smere, ale ja som ešte urobil. My všetci sme vinní tohto trestného činu, a to sa musí zmenit'. Pracovníci Slave ďaleko na Foxconn, tam, kde sa v poslednej dobe PR katastrofu, pokiaľ ide o pracovníkov spáchat' samovraždu. Jeden z ich riešenie, miesto platenia im spravodlivú odmenu za prácu, bolo dat' samovražedné siete na vonkajšej strane svojich budov, chytanie pracovníci, ktorí sa môžu snažit', aby skok. It is no secret that most of the toys and clothes that we buy are made in places such as China and Bangladesh by workers whose wages are astronomically low. Foxconn, located in China, is a work camp which assembles technology. They pay workers roughly 179 dollars per month. They work about 12 hour per day or more, and rarely get days off. Apple is their biggest name, but other companies such as Sony, Nintendo, Amazonka, HP and Dell all do business with them as well. If you own something from these companies, chances are it was in a Foxconn work camp. Tie, many of us do not realize that if you are purchasing a diamond for a significant other, chances are that you did not know that it is coming from blood and sweat of young slaves. Many of these workers are 8 na 16 years of age and facing conditions such as starvation, breathing in fragments of minerals and debris which can cause serious illness, and working around the malaria virus. Many are young males recruited from the poorest of communities of Africa for this. This is another clear example of corporations capitalizing on the misfortune of others, and we are equally to blame as we support them with our money. However it is important to note that we do not typically wake up with the intention of supporting such malfaisant companies, it is just that crimes against humanity are so far removed that we do not see first hand their effects on society. Preto, they are easy for us to ignore. This is clearly done intentionally by the powers that be; if it were our own brothers and sisters working under such conditions, there is no way that we would be so quick to support these entities with our money. But in reality, these are our brothers and sisters. We are all human and we need to embrace this fact to get rid of not only this, but the racism, war and bigotry that exists today. So while we are empowering millionaires and billionaires, we are also simultaneously disempowering those who work in horrifying and slave-like conditions. All of this is without even mentioning the obvious toll that the transportation of these products takes on the environment. Let’s ask ourselves another set of questions and try to respond to them honestly. How many people view a part of Christmas as a sort of social competition? How many people evaluate and subconsciously rank people by the quality of gifts that they gave you and how much you perceive that was spent on those gifts? How many people have gossiped behind a gift giver’s back, saying that their gift was too cheap or not “good” enough for them, compared to what others have given you? This is a silent reality of the holidays, and quite frankly it is a sign that the way we think about the holidays is wrong on so many levels. Look at where most of our gifts come from; how spoiled are we for even entertaining these notions in our head? And you cannot totally blame the individual on this one. Just look at the influence and pressure from media and corporations on our society. The “What did you get?” ad campaign from Target is a prime example of the erroneous mindset that is cast on to us from youth. Not what did you give, but what did you get. And we allow our children, the future of this planet, to absorb this garbage from the mainstream media without even giving it a second thought. The De Beers diamond ad campaign is directed more towards engagement rings, but we cannot ignore the fact that there is an ample amount of jewelery purchased during the holidays as well. Nobody knows for sure if God exists or not. But to all you Christians out there, please know that if he does exist, he is not happy with the way that we celebrate his son’s birthday. This article seems to imply that we should radically change the system we live in. That is an accurate assessment, but we must remember that sustainable and effective change takes time. So what can we do for now? Buy second-hand gifts, buy gifts locally, use your creative side to make your own gifts, and give to charities in other people’s name. A to nie je len to robit' počas prázdnin, aby to nová čast' vášho života. Stačí začat' tým, že malé zmeny a snažit' sa pohybovat' vo viacerých pozitívnym smerom. To je všetko, čo môžeme robit',.

Skrivena Troškovi blagdane To clipart je ono što većina ljudi u razvijenim zemljama da kad Božić dolazi u obzir. Unfortunately, što predstavlja samo dio stvarnosti. Imao sam epiphany nakon Božić 2008. Moja obitelj i šira obitelj (uključujući i one koji nisu u krvnom srodstvu) učinio ogromnu količinu pomoći uzmi me kroz uznemiruje puta i dali mi toliko. Dakle, obično ono što će učiniti tijekom Božića je uzeti kredit na moje vize, i pate s optužbama kamatne dok sam ga platio natrag. Bilo je to u vrijeme u kojem sam jedva imao dovoljno novca za kupnju namirnica svaki tjedan. Meni, u trenutku, to je vrijedno da bi ih rado vidjeli moje darove. I osjećao sam se kao da sam ih dugovao, koji je u neku ruku sam i to, ali sam ih vraća u totalno krivom putu. Nisam imao pojma o tome što ukupni opseg svojih akcija radili. Carey i Angela Cijena se dvoje ljudi koji su dobro poznati po svojoj filantropiji. Carey je početkom vratar za Montreal Canadiens u NHL, i oba Carey i Angela su koristili svoju slavu i bogatstvo kao poluge trenutku dati natrag u svoje zajednice. Oni također postaviti veliki primjer za ono što smo svi trebali biti događaj za vrijeme Božića. Kad prime dar od prijatelja, oni ga vrate svojim prijateljima, navodeći da imaju više nego dovoljno materijalnih dobara, a ne dodatno treba ništa. Oni potiču na dar davatelji platiti ga naprijed da netko drugi. Oni također napraviti donaciju u ime svakog člana obitelji da u dobrotvorne svrhe, umjesto da dar. It is easy to say that just because Carey and Angela are wealthy, that they can afford to do that and I can’t. But you do not have to be multi-millionaire to have a house full of stuff that you do not need, or to be encompassed in materialism. There are many less fortunate families who invest a large portion of what little they have and go in to debt all because of the social pressures of the holidays. And as mentioned, there are poor university students who can barely feed themselves who do the same. Je li to stvarno financijski održiv i zdrav način života? Zapitajte se ta dva pitanja te. Koliko darovi su tebi tijekom svog života? Koliko od tih darova Imate li još uvijek? A i to je jedan: Koliko od tih darova li redovno? Odgovori su vjerojatno sljedeći: Tona, Ne vrlo mnogo, a još manje. Tu su i mnogi drugi ozbiljniji razlozi zbog kojih bismo svi trebali usvojiti cijenu je stil života izbor i. Da, I admit that there are times in which we need to purchase items, that is reality. But we can no longer ignore the fact that when we purchase items in excess, we are just giving our power right back to millionaires and billionaires. The salary of Mike Duke, CEO of Wal-Mart, was over 23 million dollars in 2013. To je 1,034 times more than what the average employee of Wal-Mart makes. Target’s CEO, Gregg Steinhaufel, made over 17 million in the same year, što je 597 times more than what the average employee of Target makes. Čak i ako ste stvaranje low end 6-lik plaće po godini, njihove plaće su i dalje iznad 170 puta veća od tvoje. Zašto toliko tvrdom zarađeni novac baciti natrag na vrh financijske piramide? To je čak i više obeshrabrujuće vidjeti obitelji koje žive ispod granice siromaštva bacajući svoj novac natrag do samih ljudi koji ih drže kao minimalne plaće (ili malo iznad) roblje. Svi smo mi ljudi s različitim sposobnostima, i neki ljudi na ovom svijetu jednostavno nisu sposobni izlaska iz takvog položaja, bez obzira što su neki od nas mogao reći. Trebamo ljude da rade u trgovinama, ako želimo imati trgovinama. Ako Mike Duke umro sutra, ili sve od radnika u Wal-Mart je umro sutra, koja će imati veći utjecaj na društvo? Ne samo da su tvrtke poput Wal-Mart i Target ne nudi poštenu plaću, oni su kapitaliziranje društvenih pritisaka koji pridonose ih obespravljenih. Ja mogu čuti ono što neki ljudi govore sada. "No, to je njihov izbor hoće li ili ne žele kupiti stvari na tim mjestima." To je apsolutno točno. A ono što sam ja rekao je zbog razloga koji su navedeni u ovom članku, Ljudi bi trebali izabrati druge opcije tijekom blagdana, umjesto, kao što je kupnja lokalne, kupuju drugu ruku, davanja u dobrotvorne svrhe, i stvaranje vlastite darove. Neka je istražiti učinke koje potrošnju navike imaju na ostatak svijeta. We need to recognize that it is not the workers and poor of first world countries who are the most disempowered people. It is the workers of labour camps who work in unholy conditions. Try and find one person in North America who has not made a purchase which was made from child labor. I am guilty of this as well. I have made changes in my life recently in that respect, but I have still done it. We are all guilty of this crime, and this needs to change. Workers slave away at Foxconn, tamo gdje je nedavno PR katastrofa u odnosu na radnike koji su počinili samoubojstvo. Jedan od njihovih rješenja, umjesto da plaćaju im pošteno plaću, je staviti samoubilačke mreže na vanjskoj svojih zgrada, catching radnici koji mogu pokušati napraviti poniranje. Nije tajna da je većina igračaka i odjeće koje smo kupiti su izrađene u mjestima kao što su Kina i Bangladeš radnici čije su plaće niske astronomski. Foxconn, nalazi se u Kini, je djelo kamp koji okuplja tehnologiju. Oni plaćaju radnike grubo 179 dolara mjesečno. They work about 12 hour per day or more, and rarely get days off. Apple is their biggest name, but other companies such as Sony, Nintendo, Amazon, HP and Dell all do business with them as well. If you own something from these companies, chances are it was in a Foxconn work camp. Tako?er, many of us do not realize that if you are purchasing a diamond for a significant other, chances are that you did not know that it is coming from blood and sweat of young slaves. Many of these workers are 8 na 16 godina i suočava uvjetima kao što su glad, disanje u fragmentima minerala i krhotina koje mogu uzrokovati ozbiljne bolesti, i radi oko malarije virusa. Mnogi su mladi muškarci regrutirani od najsiromašnijih zajednica Afrike za to. Ovo je još jedan jasan primjer korporacija kapitaliziranje nesreću drugima, a mi smo jednako krivi jer smo ih podržati u našim novcem. However it is important to note that we do not typically wake up with the intention of supporting such malfaisant companies, it is just that crimes against humanity are so far removed that we do not see first hand their effects on society. Dakle, they are easy for us to ignore. This is clearly done intentionally by the powers that be; if it were our own brothers and sisters working under such conditions, there is no way that we would be so quick to support these entities with our money. But in reality, oni su naša braća i sestre. Svi smo ljudi i trebamo prihvatiti tu činjenicu riješiti ne samo to, ali rasizam, Rat i fanatizam koji postoji i danas. Dakle, dok smo se Osnaživanje milijunaša i milijardera, Također smo istovremeno disempowering onih koji rade u užasavajuće i ropskim uvjetima. Sve je to čak i bez spominjanja očitu danak da prijevoz tih proizvoda vodi na okoliš. Let’s ask ourselves another set of questions and try to respond to them honestly. How many people view a part of Christmas as a sort of social competition? How many people evaluate and subconsciously rank people by the quality of gifts that they gave you and how much you perceive that was spent on those gifts? How many people have gossiped behind a gift giver’s back, saying that their gift was too cheap or not “good” enough for them, compared to what others have given you? To je tiha stvarnost praznika, and quite frankly it is a sign that the way we think about the holidays is wrong on so many levels. Pogledajte gdje je većina naših darova dolaze iz; Kako razmažena su mi čak i zabavlja te pojmove u našoj glavi? I ne može u potpunosti kriviti pojedinca na ovom jednom. Dovoljno je pogledati na utjecaju i pritisku medija i korporacija na našem društvu. "Što ste dobili?"Ad Kampanja iz Targeta je premijer primjer pogrešnog načina razmišljanja koji je protjerao na nas iz mladosti. Nije ono što ste prestali, ali ono što ste dobili. A mi dopustiti da naša djeca, budućnost ovog planeta, apsorbirati ovo smeće iz mainstream medija čak i bez dajući mu drugi misli. The De Beers diamond ad campaign is directed more towards engagement rings, but we cannot ignore the fact that there is an ample amount of jewelery purchased during the holidays as well. Nitko ne zna za sigurno, ako Bog postoji ili ne. No, za sve vas kršćana vani, znajte da ako on ne postoji, On nije zadovoljan načinom na koji smo proslavili rođendan svoga sina. Ovaj članak izgleda podrazumijeva da korjenito promijeniti sustav u kojem živimo. To je točna procjena, ali moramo se sjetiti da je održivo i učinkovito promjene treba vremena. Dakle, što možemo učiniti za sada? Kupite polovnih darove, kupiti darove na lokalnoj razini, koristiti svoj kreativnu stranu kako bi svoje darove, i dati u dobrotvorne svrhe u tuđe ime. I ne samo to učiniti tijekom praznika, čine ga novi dio vašeg života. Just start by making small changes and make an effort to move in a more positive direction. That is all we can do.
