Amy Goodman

In Citizenship class, we saw a woman named Eve Ensler being interviewed on DemocracyNow. She was talking about how girls in the world were being treated badly even in our days.
Eve Ensler is a global citizen because she is going all around the world to see the problem. She went in Asia, in Africa, in America, and in Western Europe. She is trying to show all around the world how badly girls are treated and she tries to help them.
Girls can end up in bad situations because a girl might not want to do something a man asks, but if it is to not make him feel angry or something like that, she might do it anyway.
The connection with the Story of Stuff is the production part. It shows how poor the people in the production part in the factories are and they make things for us. It is an example of externalizing the costs. We are not paying for what we buy since we hardly pay the people that are making it.
