Female textile mill worker in London (M. Rodrigue)
My family has lived in our home of Great Britain for generations. Not to say that working conditions at the mill are all too wonderful, but this is all we've ever known. First we get kicked off of our farmland to work in the crowded cities, now we are expected to move overseas? What will our future entail? We know nothing of the conditions elsewhere, how to survive. We can barely survive in an area we have grown accustomed to. Sure, maybe more natural resources will strengthen our economy. It may provide cheap labor. But labor on our part is never cheap. It is taxing, and at times, hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A fresh start may be something well needed, but until we know of what we shall get ourselves into, we shall stick to our old-fashioned ways.
