It’s because .981015You are attending a lecture about the fashion industry.Let’s say you want to buy a polo shirt that costs 14 Canadian perfectly /p²:òf¹ktli/dollars. How much of that money goes to the garment worker? shirts are manufactured in Bangladesh, and the production cost for one polo shirt is actually $5.67. Of that amount, the factory owner gets 10 percent, but only two percent goes to the close downworker. So, to answer the question, for that $14 shirt, the worker can expect to earn about $0.12. That is less than one percent of the market price!The polo shirt is made in Bangladesh for a good reason. The world’s clothing makers know that low-priced products will sell well. Wanting to keep down their production costs, most companies tend to use overseas workers who work for low wages. One month’s salary at the local factory in Bangladesh is about 5,000 yen. It is lower than the money a high school student can earn from a part-time job in a day in Japan.Someone in the audience gives his opinion.I would buy the polo shirt made in Bangladesh for three reasons. The main reason is its low price. I exercise a lot, and the shirt would get stretched out quickly, so a low-priced shirt is perfectly acceptable for me. The second reason is that I think a cheap polo shirt suits me. I am just a high school student and I’m not interested in wearing high fashion clothes. The third reason is that by buying the shirt, I can help support the lives of people in Bangladesh. Of course, from my point of view, Shilpy’s wages are quite low. However, if we stop buying their products, they will have less work to do. I am afraid that the factories in Bangladesh would close down. For these reasons, I would choose to buy this inexpensive polo shirt.1015Factory maintenance cost: $0.07Labor: $0.12Freight / Insurance / Taxes: $1.03Total cost to consumer with 60% markup: 10151010Agent: $0.18Profit for the factory: $0.58Materials cost: $3.69Total cost to a retailer: $5.674. How many ants did the team pick from each colony in the second experiment?5. Was the proportion of active ants to inactive ants different from the original colony? 6. What did these findings from the two experiments show?3. Does it bother you if someone seems to be doing nothing while other people are busy working? The team then moved on to the second phase of their experiment. They created seven new colonies by picking thirty ants and removing the rest from each original colony. They chose only active ants for three of the new colonies and inactive ants for the other four colonies. What they observed was fascinating. In the colonies where there were only active ants, a certain number of the ants stopped working. Conversely, in the colonies where there were only inactive ants, a certain number of the ants started working. The proportion of active ants to inactive ants always turned out to be the same as in the original colonies, which was 80 to 20.These findings showed that ant colonies always had a certain number of inactive, “non-working” ants. Dr. Hasegawa thought that there must be a system in nature deciding the proportion of active to inactive ants.本文形式:レクチャー(説明文・意見文)本文形式:展示(説明文)解説・図表講義聴講者の意見展示パネルの説明を図表を参照しながら読みます。Part 1〜2で講義の内容を読み、Part 3では安価な服を買うことに対する賛成意見、Part 4では反対意見を読みます。Story安価な服はどこで、どのように作られているのでしょうか。1枚14ドルのポロシャツの裏側にある、過酷な労働環境、低賃金、そして悲劇的な事故。バングラデシュの工場の実情を知り、安価な服を購入することの是非を考えます。英文を読んだあとは、自分の意見を話したり、書いたりする活動を通して、テーマの理解を深めましょう。Story「勤勉」なイメージを持つ働きアリ。しかし、一部には働かない者たちもいるようです。生物学者・長谷川博士は、アリのコロニーに隠された驚くべき秘密を解明するため、実験を開始しました。一見怠け者に見える彼らが、実はコロニー存続の鍵を握っていた…? アリの社会の高度な生存戦略について学びます。Behind the Price Tag安価な衣料が販売される、その裏で起きていることSlackers in the Ant Nest「働かざるもの、巣の未来を守る」? 働きアリの秘密に迫る!
