HISTORY

An ancient origin, the apparel and textiles industry, bone needles have been discovered as far as back in the year 30,000 BC. The generality of garments was constituted of prepared animal skins, furs and hides weaving together various vegetable fibers and animal to produce unique clothes during that time.

Ancient people started to chase and hunt as they used animals’ skin to wear a piece of garments. Animals’ skin is continually utilized because it is harder and made strenuous for them to hunt. They started to prepare the skin to conserve its softness. Later the animal’s bones used as needle and nerves fiber were used as thread.

Primitive humans used leaves, grasses, reeds, and stems to wear of purely the vegetable creation. They also spin the fiber and make it into a yarn that is entwined to form into a cloth. The first of the fiber, wool, and flax utilized because it was easier to twiddle into yarn compare to cotton. They also utilized the animals’ hair as the bed. This hair intertwines and materialize as a fabric and comes while making felt cloth.

Thousands of years later, known as “Agrarian Society”, people discovered that they could live in one location with other humans and grow what they required. People become aware of how to germinate plants for food and also to breed animals for the skins and meat. People have less time for farming and hunting.

These people educate themselves on how to rotate pieces of horse hair, plants, seeds, and bark into one unbroken yarn or strands. Then they learned how to weave them into the fabric, just like what they did in the grasses. They began to search around, cotton, silk, wool, and flax found, for other threads so they could use to make yarn.

When the manufacture of apparel and textiles was remarkably modified by technology containing the pedal-forced sewing machines and cotton gin, the business industry experienced relatively slow evolution and a lack of development until the industrial revolution. The fabric and clothing industry was among the first to be automized due to huge amounts of employment required in making the fabric.

Leaders behind the Apparel and Textile Industry

There are several types of manufacturers –  licenses, contract, and integrated manufacturers. Levi Strauss is one of the famous integrated manufacturers in the business due that they design and make their own commodity.

Licenses manufacturers- For example, the company Warnaco have their own manufacturing plants and market clothing under license from their label.

Contract manufacturers – These manufacturers have connections and relationships with some designers and producers acquire new business. This includes the Unifi and International Textile Group (ITC) as of the biggest textile corporations. Affordable fashion has hit a boom in the apparel and textile industry as leaders include Sweden’s (H and M) Hennes and Mauritz, Zara from Spain, and Wal-Mart – the world’s largest retailer.

UNITED ARAB OF EMIRATES’ TEXTILE AND APPAREL INDUSTRY

The United Arab of Emirates’ textile business is not only the nation’s biggest trading industry after gas and oil but it is also one of the largest employers in the industry. United Arab of Emirates always been associated with gas and oil through the years. But these seven Emirates are steadily affiliated to clothing, textile, and apparel manufacturing industry. United Arab of Emirates surrounded a wide classification of textiles. According to a United Arab of Emirates’ trade and economic geniuses that garment famous labels were gaining popularity in the local and international market, and emphasize that more aggressive retailing scheme was needed to advertise the country as a high-quality clothes producer in the industry.

FUTURE VIEWPOINT IN TEXTILES AND APPAREL INDUSTRY

Extravagant and high-class apparel and clothing companies have already begun producing cheaper cost or presenting products at a discounted price. This will certainly affect their profit. A reduction in spending due to the economic crisis has created consumers who want to save more money everywhere.

This does not portend well for the apparel industry, as they are dependent on consumers’ needs and wants and gives them a poor future outlook. Even the economical and low budget apparel manufacturers will be influenced as they also will to decrease prices and quality on their products or join in bargains in order to attract new market and retain old consumer who may be willing to grasp on to their old clothing.

As stated by recent reports, The United Arab of Emirates’ garment and textile industries have upgraded and improved their unmilled material depot, packaging and transporting operations for large facilities.

SUPPORT THE APPAREL AND TEXTILE INDUSTRIES

The direct benefits include:

More employment – Worldwide contribute employment within the businesses in a country that imports and exports fabrics and textiles. Importing nation decreases or eliminates fabricate jobs where exporting nations also decreases the requirements for design, retail, and marketing jobs.

Local Finacial Status Increases – In most textile supplier countries, salary in the clothing and textile business are higher than other jobs leather, dairy, wood). It indicates that the fabrics and garments industry is an improving the value chain in the businesses ladder although this report is for the manufacturing half average salary.

Empowering Women – Most studies show a huge bias in gender against women in the textile, garments, fabrics and clothing business, where women are working are often worse, wage less and favorable job levels.

There is much technological progress in the textile industry, which is very laboriously based on technology, mostly including the use of machinery since then. The apparel side of the industry is still primarily done manually with human employment. The main basis for the allocation of this business inexpensive labor markets.

The United Arab of Emirates is well respected when it comes for exports of garments, formed on huge volume of textiles imported and its articles from India and China. Both these countries constitute a major part in the textile and imports since the price of manufacturing is significantly become less expensive in these countries due to the availability of cheaper budget and labor costs.

“The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.” -James Madison

Information is a treasure to each citizen of a nation. The general citizenry has got the liberty to access the data from the state governments by the freedom of information.

The primary purpose of the Freedom of Information Act is to guarantee informed citizens as vital to the operating of a democratic organization. The holiday is a reminder of the significance of clarity in the government and the public’s right globally.

BACKGROUND OF NATIONAL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION DAY

March 16th of every year recognizes National Freedom of Information Day (FOI) which celebrates the “open government “event. This day was also the birth anniversary and legacy of President James Madison and held during the Sunshine Week.

President James Madison (the Father of Constitution) was the fourth president of the United States of America for eight years (1809 to 1817) and the final founding father to serve as the head of state. From Port Conway Virginia, President Madison was born on March 16, 1751, at Belle Grove Plantation to an affluent family and raised to their own Montpelier estate. He is the eldest of twelve siblings – seven brothers and four sisters.

In 1771, he finished his degree from the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University. Madison became the member of to the Virginia Convention and one of the author of the Virginia State Constitution in 1776.

President James Madison is known as the principal advocate for openness in public state government.  He has also implemented the United States Constitution and as the significant champion and author of the United States Bill of Rights. Madison gave high importance on Individual rights and freedom of information.

During his presidency, President Madison was not above blame. However, his foreign system was criticized. Initiating the War of 1812, he demanded Congress to declare war against Great Britain. Which ended the deadlock, it was an infamous and abortive conflict battle over shipping rights. During the war, Washington DC was invaded by the British. The British blaze both the White House and the city and the President with Congress were coerced to surrender.

With his wife Dolly, President Madison retired to his plantation. His wife was remembered for her beauty and elegance as a hostess during his term in the year 1817. President Madison supported President Andrew Jackson in 1832 becoming its President in 1826. He also became a member of the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829. President Madison wrote “Advice to My Country”, which was a countless series articles before he passed away. President Madison died at Montpelier estate after many years of battling his sickness on June 28, 1836.

SUNSHINE WEEK

As a part of the celebration of National Free of Information Day, Sunshine week also celebrated every year during the mid week of March since it was first launched in the year of 2005. It is an annual global observance entry to information publicly led by the American Society of News Editors. The objective of the week event is to high point the factor that the open government information should reach the public to strengthen their society.

The advocate of this event – media organizations, schools, civic associations, non-business institution, schools, and other member take part in a public discussion on the value of open government during Sunshine Week.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: its context

Freedom of information (FOI) is an addition of the power of right to speak, think and act. A foundational international human right law, which is comprehended more basically as freedom of expression in any form of medium – print, and writing, orally, art and through the Internet as of this day. FOI also refer to the right for privacy in the topic of the world wide web technology. The right to privacy and freedom of expressions is accepted in human power and privilege of information acts.

In conclusion, freedom of information can include opposition to universal copyrights, patents, or intellectual property. The international and United States Pirate Group have organized political platforms that were based mostly on freedom of information matters.

CELEBRATING THE OPEN GOVERNMENT

Freedom of Information Day is memorialized by colleges of Law and other supporters of this event providing data on the rights granted by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) all across the country. Globally, Over 100 nations have implemented some order of freedom of information codification. The oldest in the world established in 1766 was Sweden’s Freedom of the Press Act.

On July 4, 1966, From the first Freedom of Information Act, signed by President Lyndon Johnson by giving the public the right to access the government’s every piece of information. It was first to initiate in 89th Congress as the bill S1160 (in two pages). Other countries and region are working towards implementing such laws, and with public legislation have the local ordinance.

Attending this event can help you with the best information expressing your rights to information, and be open to the opportunity to know more about the government. These observances are held to provide information to the public on how they can take dominance of their liberty when they appeal and under what situation these laws are not pertinent.

The National Sportsmanship day is celebrated annually on the date of 5^th of March or first Tuesday of the Month and on the year of 2019 is when it will mark its 28^th Anniversary and will continue up until the year’s end.  It all started in the year 1991 when the International Sports Institute proposed the National Sportsmanship day to promote Good Sportsmanship to different sports. The main objective of the International Sports Institute is to promote working ethically, honesty and playing-fair through sports and education as it was created for us to enjoy, unite and lessen the different barriers between different countries.  The Special day was also established for the athletes or participants of different sports to celebrate that day and enter different activities that will encourage all of them to have good sportsmanship.

One of the exciting activities in the National Sportsmanship Day is Essay Contest (Sponsored by the USA Today), it is where all of the students from different grade levels (Elementary, High School and Colleges) participate and present their essay dedicated to the sportsmanship day or themed Sportsmanship.

The Sports Ethics Fellows Program partnered with the National Sportsmanship Day and includes people who have an exceptional talent especially in Leadership in promotion Good Sportsmanship that helps in the expansion of the National Sportsmanship Day or NSD. The Program also discusses the issues that are needed to be solved in the sports competition to continue making it better for all of us and leave us with a smile after the game.  Because of the NSD, different sports activities in the World are full of work ethics and have helped countries in different continents unite with each other and develop their relationships that will benefit us all. Sports is a platform that many people use and loves, because of sports thousands to millions of peoples share the same goal and that is to enjoy sports and compete with different people.

The objectives of the Sportsmanship day:

A program intended to improve Sports conduct is National Sportsmanship Day that is held every year on the first Tuesday in spring or March. It is sponsored by the Institute for International Sport. The National Day incorporates youth associations and schools from Grade level of Elementary through Colleges or University Students taking part in the merriments or Festivities. The different activities range from role-playing to games of sports, which are all intended to invigorate great sports conduct. The main purpose of this day is to spread or promote Good sports behavior or conduct.

By taking into consideration all of the things that I have learned and discovered about Good behavior in sports or excellent sportsmanship, although parents have a strong influence in Child’s lives and their behavior, however in Sports, it’s a different matter as they surrounded by different people such as coaches and mentors therefore in some cases they can also help the children develop their attitude towards other people, decision and good sportsmanship as they are taking advice from their coach and values their opinions because of their experiences. Coaches have the ability to emphasizing effort and mastery of athletic tasks rather than Natural Ability and competitive outcome. This will be able to teach Athletes and sports enthusiasts to increase their efforts as it will be one of the vital points in improving one’s capabilities in different sports. As many people say that “Hard work without Talent is better than Talent without Hard Work” All of the people who first started their sports even if they’re talented or not starts from the beginning, there are no skipping levels, it’s just that, it depends on how much effort they will put in their respective sports or specialty. Coaches’ main job is to support the athletes or players whether it’s a team sport or not, he stabilizes the balance of the Athletes and teaches the true significance of team effort.

Why is Sports Beneficial?

When one thinks about fashion, you immediately begin to imagine of style, glamour, trend, etc. instead of eco-friendly or sustainable designs. But let us put in mind that in the future years to come, a vital question that the fashion industry needs to answer is how sustainable it is?

Sustainable fashion is already gathering momentum internationally in the past decade. It’s good news that eco-friendly fashion is becoming the latest global trend that a lot of people in the fashion industry are resolved to make it into a sustainable norm.

The Challenge to Fashion Industry

Based on the World Economic Forum, after a short first-use cycle, 95 percent of plastic packaging material valued at 80 billion dollars to 120 billion dollars are lost to the global economy each year.

The subject on “Fashion waste” is tremendous thinking of the recent report on environmental negligence by the industry. Environmental activists, however, believe fashion’s waste problem is much bigger than simply stocks left unsold. They’re pointing the dilemma to ‘fast fashion’ which is a label that describes the high rate of fashion consumption driven by the number of new clothes that go on sale.

This has prompted the United Arab Emirates to launch a number of responsible projects and campaigns and strive to be among the world’s most eco-friendly countries.

To ensure the sustainability of eco-friendly fashion in the local marketplace, it is believed that designers should welcome and support more innovative creative practices and think about alternative fabrics. The challenge is how to integrate sustainable practices to an extensive and complex apparel supply chain.

What is Sustainable Fashion?

Sustainable fashion is a method concerning manufacture, sourcing, clothing design which gives maximum advantage to the business and community as a whole, which together limits the effects on nature. It also has something to do with ethics, one that is acceptable and is morally right. Subsequently, sustainable fashion doesn’t start with assembling clothes. It starts from the cotton fields and finishes in shopper’s closet. Along these lines, common cotton cultivating can’t be regarded as moral and reasonable as harsh pesticides are utilized.

At present, sustainability is an approach for carrying the business instead of just an idea. Today, numerous associations have understood the concept of sustainability and have integrated it in the business. These organizations have comprehended that incorporating social and ecological issues with business will yield long haul advantages to the organization.

These days, designer shows, Ethical fashion forum and websites all emphasize on the idea of sustainable fashion, to go green means business and profits. It is vital that brands which practice moral and sustainable fashion must remain consistent with their responsibility. By doing so, they can win the trust of the customers and maintain the organization’s moral qualities.

There must be straightforwardness in manufacturing, sourcing, designing and other different procedures, with the goal that the purchasers can know whether the brands are providing what they have sworn. To compel sustainability be marketable in the fashion industry it must be desired. Customers are pulled in to great structures, hues and textures. At the point when a buyer spends on stylish attire, he first thinks about the previously mentioned features. Ecological or moral concerns come later.

The brands which answers to the customers’ endless demands can consolidate sustainable ethics with fashion and thrive in the green business. It is now high time to establish the connection of purchaser and garments must be changed. Supportability isn’t restricted to environmental setting but the whole design business, from production to the retail shops.

At the point when the fashion business guarantees no forced or child labor, reasonable wages, employees get their fundamental human rights, biodiversity, health and security measures are practiced in the work environment, natural farming, eco-friendly garments are produced in eco-friendly means, and so forth every one of these means will make the fashion business sustainable in real sense.
