CRS 231 - Blog #7: Sweatshops

Sweatshops

Sweatshops have been around for a very long time. They are used by large companies such as Nike, to produce their goods for cheaper prices and the people that make the goods are put into horrible conditions and pay. There is a part of me that wishes we could just sweatshops all together. But then I realize that this is not about the people making the clothes to the companies. They want to find the cheapest possible way to make their apparel and goods. I know that it's about business not about life. Which should always come first. Especially when there are people are being put through horrible conditions and not get paid enough to feed their families. It is almost like these people are second class citizens to whoever they are working for. Their lives are not coming first and that should be the first thing.
