A community is only cognisant of the things it chooses to focus on. You know (for example) your clothes are made by women and children kept in perpetual slavery in Southern Asian states. You know there are poor working conditions and that children have been used to mine precious metals to make your phone work. The Western community has chosen not to know about this - even if we do actually all know. What a community knows and what it becomes prepared to actively admit or work on are often different things.
