This photo shows the magnitude of what a Sweatshop can look like. This room is very crowded and one can see very little free space. Upon further examination, you can see the facial expressions of the workers. This is a gloomy place and there is a sense of hopelessness or despair

This website was very interesting to read. The article seemed to say that there are more realistic expectations for the global issue of Sweatshops. There would be a greater problem if jobs were taken out of these countries as the economy is much better for the factories. The writer showed improvement in countries who have added factories and talked on the importance of factories in developing countries. The issue is in the way the workers are treated and the lack of safety for them. The change needs to come from embracing globalization and promoting ways to treat employers better.

This video is about 4 women trying to make a difference. This is the first video in a series that was made about Cambodian Sweatshops through the company H&M. They traveled to Cambodia, an impoverished country, with major issues in their production industry. 1000 people fainted in factories in 2014.  When the girls visited the shops, they were turned back as the security didn’t want them to see what was going on. This was an emotional and motivational video. The people making the video are trying to educate the world on the injustice that people face everyday.

Those in North America can become naive to issues around the globe. Yet, when searching for information online, typically those promoting change came from Canadian and American citizens. This encouraging fact is something to be admired. The information and solution to Sweatshops will hopefully spread throughout this wealthy continent. When Society comes together to make a change the impossible becomes possible.

This article was informative for being so short. Some of these facts were; “Sweatshops do not help poverty as people spend the majority of their paycheck on food for their families to survive, In developing countries, an estimated 168 million children ages 5 to 14 are forced to work, and because women make up 85 to 90% of sweatshop workers, some employers force them to take birth control and routine pregnancy tests to avoid supporting maternity leave or providing appropriate health benefits.”

Sweatshop workers are mistreated constantly. Women make up 85%-90% of workers and there is sexual abuse. Rape in Sweatshops can be well known in developing countries, and nothing is done. Judicial systems are likely to turn a blind eye to the horrors, and that allows the issue to reoccur.

This video is about a soccer coach, who took a class on theology and wrote a paper on the injustice that Nike portrays. Jim Keady, the co-producer and person in the video, had a job at St, Johns but he caused issues when he was speaking out. People viewed him as an idealist, yet he was striving for something. As I watched this video, I became upset with Nike. The school told Jim that he needed to wear Nike sportswear and drop the issue, yet he continued to speak to the injustice he saw. He was fired and decided to work in the Sweatshops in Indonesia to prove there were issues. The images seen and stories that were told in this documentary were traumatic.

A common theme when discussing issues portrayed throughout the globe stems from education. Whether it be lack of education of those working in the sweatshops or lack of education for those who are financial able to help. The overwhelming difficulties faced by the workers in the sweatshops

This video is about three individuals who are wealthy and have lots of clothes. They travel to Cambodia and are surprised at the simplistic and cheerful life that people live. The three main people go to work in the factories, where the work is constant and there is pressure to work efficiently. There is many unjust sights, as those who work at the factories can’t even afford the clothing they make, those who couldn’t afford education, and those who have to work everyday to provide for themselves and their families.

This model is added into this presentation as, although simplistic, is beneficial. The truth that it tells on the clear benefit that factories have in developing countries. This is not to say that there is no solution to the global injustice of Sweatshops. That issue can start changing by more support given to those in need and safety measures for workers being set in place.
