2. How an Opportunity Turns into a Drawback
The ubiquitous presence of fashion’s importance is currently on the table when
talking about our post-industrial society. In fact, we consume more tan we properly
use.
Such matter entails quite a wide range of yopics to bear in mind. For instance,
judging. Notwithstanding this fact, not every aspect of clothing is presented as a
downside, assets can be found, too.
Expressing what we carry inside is not only a positive point eased by fashion, but
also an opportunity we are provided with. In spite of it being a great thing, there
are still very narrow-minded people who use it to misjudge, undervalue and point
at those who do not dress like them. As a consequence, dwellers don’t feel brave
enough to “expose” themselves wearing whatever they feel like.

3. How an Opportunity Turns into a Drawback
(Conclusion)
The bare truth is that the pieces of clothes we wear are even able to
determine the group of friends we are in! Think about it! Being
ostracized because of your taste in clothing is not as rare as we might
believe. Yet, if we look on the bright side, it is not that bad, as you get
to spend time with people with similar beliefs and opinions as yours.
As long as I am concerned, developed societies are evolving and
prejudices are less common as more and more broad-minded people
and beliefs are coming out.

4. Shopping Ethically to Change the World
The importance of being conscious about where our clothes come from
is a trendy matter nowadays. Fashion is cheaper than it was in the past
generations, but, is this fact beneficial for the world?
On the one hand, it is affirmed that most of the clothing multinationals
we know have their factories in non-developed countries, where
workers have too long working schedules and low salaries.
On the other hand, the low cost of the production is also achieved by
the use of inexpensive and toxic materials. Therefore, our planet’s
condition is getting worse and global warming is becoming a
concerning problem.

5. Shopping Ethically to Change the World
Besides, consumers can help by buying less and better. In addition, our
clothes can be reused. Everyone ought to donate, resell or exchange
their clothes.
In conclusion, Fast Fashion is an omnipresent problem in which
everyone can help. And here lies, in my opinion, the solution for this
issue. We can help to change the world if we act in unison.

6. The Easy Way to Judge (conclusion)
• Overall, it might be said that we have to endavour ourselves
to change our minds and to become more broad-minded.
We had better follow our feelings and likes and wear clothes
we love and that represent us.

7. Impressing, isn’t it?
• …
• Moreover, when we buy clothes we do not stop to think if the clothes
we are buying have caused pollution or if the workers that made
them are working under pressure or in bad conditions. And this is a
disaster! If we are not informed about all the drawbacks there are, we
will never change this situation. So the bare truth is that we have the
responsibility to change others’ lives, such as workers’ ones.
• Last but not least, in my opinion everybody would need to know how
buying in a consumerist way is wrong, and that there are easy
solutions such as recycling or reselling products that somehow help to
make a change in our society.

8. All that Glitters is not Gold
• Throughout History, clothing has always played a crucial role in our
society. In the past, people´s economic status determined the way
they dressed. Important people such as Queens and Kings wore
extravagant clothes while most citizens wore simple and hand-made
ones.

9. Oodles of clothes
• Have you ever wondered how much a T-shirt pollutes?
• In fact, not everyone knows that to produce a simple cotton T-shirt
1,000 litres of water are required. It is true that it is indeed difficult to
know how our clothes are made. However, I strongly believe we have
the responsibility to shop in an ethical way.
• As the proverb goes “All that Glitters is not Gold” and I couldn’t agree
more.
• It is believed that fast fashion has opened a door to new
opportunities for people that, in the past, couldn’t afford trendy
clothes. Nevertheless, this fact is having a huge impact on the
environment.

10. Oodles of clothes
…
(conclusion)
To sum up, I would add that the cons overweight the pros and just as a
matter of fact, being trendy is not as important as preserving our
Nature.

11. Little Habits could Change the World
• …
• The first fact we should consider to fix this issue could be knowing
what we are buying and why, due to the fact that we tend to
purchase unconsciously, without thinking twice. Furthermore, this
entails not to purchase an item because it is on fashion, nor for
entertainment. Unfortunately, it is really difficult, at first, to
distinguish between what we do need and we don’t.

12. All that Glitters is not Gold
• …
• As the proverb goes “All that glitters is not gold”. We might think that
buying cheap and trendy clothes is just flawless but it isn’t actually so
simple. More and more contemporary dwellers are starting to work at
this kind of clothing industries and they are snowed under with a lot
of work. However, we are still in time to do something, it may be a
daunting task, but we should start considering to exchange clothes
instead of buying new clothes constantly.
• To sum up, it is my firm belief that we should buy responsibly mainly
due to the fact that it would enhance the workers’ awful situation.

13. Why did the clothing industry lose its sense of
exclusivity with the arrival of Fast Fashion?
• Clothing industry lost its sense of exclusivity with the arrival of Fast
Fashion because everybody could buy stylish clothing for very little
money.

14. Why did consumers start having doubts about
whether Fats Fashion is really positive?
• Consumers started having doubts about whether Fast Fashion was
really positive when the Rana Plaza clothing factory collapsed and
1,000 workers passed away.

15. How does Fast Fashion reduce its production
costs?
• Fast Fashion reduces its production costs by using cheap, toxic colour
pigments and low-cost textile such as nylon, derived from fossil fuels.

16. Apart from recycling, what could people do
with their used clothes?
Apart form recycling, what people could do with their used clothes is to
exchange them with friends, reselling them or even donating them to a
local charity.

17. Before Fast Fashion, people would buy
clothes from time to time.
This sentence is True due to the fact that the text states “Buying clothes
used to be an occasional event”

18. Workers in the Fast Fashion industry earn a
lot of money.

Fashion industry carry out their tasks for very low salaries.

or worthwhile: questioning
