https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr After reading the articles and viewing the documentary, answer this question: Do you think US companies should continue to manufacture clothing and accessories in factories overseas? Why or why not? Provide at least TWO specific reasons to support your claim. Put your FULL NAME as the Title! en-us 2017-03-08 16:20:24 UTC 2025-12-18 21:03:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.storage.googleapis.com/portrait/announcement.jpg https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160252987 Imagine that every day you have to wake up early in the morning to get to work in a factory. As hours pass, your hands get tired and you can barely keep your eyes open. No matter how tired you get, you have to keep working to support your family. That is what many children have to experience everyday in Bangladesh. In the past years, many U.S. companies, such as Nike, have built factories over seas. Those companies should definitely not build factories in other countries. One reason is because it is much harder to monitor the conditions in those factories and it could be harmful to the people living there. For example, sometimes factories collapse and that can kill thousands of innocent people trying to make enough money just to eat. Another reason is because]]> 2017-03-15 14:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160252987 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160253001 I think that the US should continue to manufacture clothing and accessories in factories overseas but make a change to how they run the factories. They should start to treat their workers as actual people. If they move the factories they will be putting tons and tons of people out of work so they can't even make any money. factories are currently abusing their workers and paying them little but at least there getting paid something. They should up the minimum wage and pay them more and make the working enviorment better. They might not be americans but that doesn't mean their not human and should be treated any worse.

Of course it is.]]> 2017-03-15 14:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160253001 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160253084 We know today that hundreds and thousands of people have been working their lives off for little money each day by working in the factories. Although people earn poor currency each day in the foreign factories, I still agree that they should still continue with manufacturing the clothing, but tweak it so slightly that it changes everything. I think the conditions of the factories and ways of life of the people should  be cleaned up to a fresher and more happy life. With harsh living's, I think the workers should be paid more, to keep their family balanced and living a more comfortable life. To tag along with that, they should edit the factory conditions and look after it more, so the workers feel more "fit in". They should also change the]]> 2017-03-15 14:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160253084 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160253429 I think that they should continue but they should make the rules a bit more different because the workers aren't being treated fairly. But if they keep working too much, they may need more supplies, and the whole building could end up collapsing, just like the incident in Bangladesh. Thousands of people died, and many more were severely injured and were probably put out of work. Everyday, we're always getting treated how we want to be treated, and appreciating the nice deeds, but in the factories, how the owners are treating the workers, it's just not right. They should be also getting payed more money, three dollar isnt enough, back here, were getting paid a ton.]]> 2017-03-15 14:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160253429 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254109 I think that we should be making our own clothes in the U.S. Think about working in a factory like in china. How would you feel. If the Us doesn't start making there own  clothing in the U.S., the companies should change how they treat there workers in oversea factories. I also think the companies should pay more to there workers and make there factories safer.]]> 2017-03-15 14:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254109 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254398 I do not think that stores should have work from overseas. I have noticed that the price of many things have gone up, such as gas. If people are willing to pay the slightest bit more money for gas then why can't we for others? I think that it is clear at this point, but I think we should bring back clothing factories to our country. I think of it like a group project. You in your own group have to pull your own weight. It was hard to listen to people working in buildings that could potentially collapse on them. In the beginning of the article they mentioned Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I have some relatives that live there, and I visited at the age of 5. I don't remember seeing sweatshops, but I do remember the people living on the street. So that kind of made me upset. I do not support cheap labor and buildings that can topple over and burst out into a flaming ball of fire killing hundreds of people. It isn't right and America has enough money to support their own factories.]]> 2017-03-15 14:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254398 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254774 I think US companies should continue to manufacture clothing overseas, however I think they should get better working conditions for the garment workers. From a US company's standpoint it would be idiotic to change the manufacturing factories to a different place because the amount of profit these company's are making is much greater than what they would be making if they moved the factories. So, overall the working conditions should be improved greatly, but keep the factories where they are.]]> 2017-03-15 14:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254774 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254890 I think that companies like Nike should still open factories in other countries, but they should also try much harder to make the conditions in the factories much better as well as paying the workers more. Also we should have more factories in the U.S. and rely on other countries less than we do. Also I think there should be bad consequences for factory workers that have unsafe condition for their workers because it might make them think about what can happen to them instead of money.

If the workers try to speak out about how they are treated  they could get killed. But if they manufacture clothing in the U.S there is better working conditions there are child labor laws and people would get arrested if they beat or kill people. Yes, it coasts  extra and the workers over seas would need jobs but, if we in the U.S start treating workers better the people overseas would get inspired to treat workers better.]]> 2017-03-15 14:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160254952 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160255541 I don't think that U.S. companies should continue manufacturing clothing and accessories overseas. One reason is that they make it very unsafe for the workers because there are a ton of accidents each year in factories or because of factories. Another reason is, the workers don't get paid enough, for example, in Bangladesh, workers minimum wage is 22c per hour!]]> 2017-03-15 14:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160255541 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160255616 I think all US factories want to continue overseas. We know what they do to human beings in the factories. They abuse them, they yell at them, they make them work in unsafe conditions, and they work them past their limits. People should have a say in what they do with their life, not be told they have work 14 hours a day at 15 years old. I believe that US factories should do whatever they feel right doing, but they need to know the kind of lives they are taking away from the 14, 15 and 16 year olds.]]> 2017-03-15 14:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160255616 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160255653 I think that we should have less factories over the sea, because don't you feel at least a little guilty knowing that the clothes you are wearing were most likely made by a poor person who gets payed 27 cents per hour. It also will open up new job opportunities for americans. And the best part is that we will be saving peoples lives. Although it may take away jobs from the people over sea that makes them. Our factories are safer because of laws. ]]> 2017-03-15 14:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160255653 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160256020 I think they should not keep making clothing is different overseas places. This is because they don't pay the workers at the factories that much, 50 cents an hour. Also it's really dangerous for the people working there.

But they need to pay the workers fairly because the Nike company has so much money that they know they can pay the workers more but they just don't want to. When the workers get payed more they will have a better living style and will be able to afford more food and live in a better living condition. That when they o to work they will be able to make more each day because they are able to have a good night sleep. When the workers make more that means the company makes more so it is a win win situation. ]]> 2017-03-17 12:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160767546 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160767676 Imagine that every day you have to wake up early in the morning to get to work in a factory.

Although people earn poor currency each day in the foreign factories, I still agree that they should still continue with manufacturing the clothing, but tweak it so slightly that it changes everything. First, I think they should change the factories conditions. Some factories have dirty and terrible conditioned floors and aren't cleaned daily. This should be changed so the workers have a healthier living. Another idea is to change the payment of each worker. The workers deserve so much more than about a dollar each day. Since its the only job that they can afford doing, I think it is best to pay MUCH more than what they normally have each day. One last thing- the government should supervise the heads of Nike or other factories because of all the problems. Although they have laws labeling how they should be respectful and such of every worker, they continue abusing them. With all of the abusing and poor conditions of working, they should change everything to a better life for the people in the factories. ]]> 2017-03-17 12:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160768258 https://padlet.com/sb6imagination/9v3zc0eelqhr/wish/160768861 I think that they should keep making clothing, because the factories are not the problem, how the people are being treated is the problem.

Garment workers in Bangladesh minimum wage is 50 cents per hour when here in america it is $7.50. Factories put their workers in danger with dangerous machine and unstable factories. They will even punish workers who ask for a higher pay! If the factories don't stop paying their workers with such little money many people will suffer from starvation and they will still be a developing country.
