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. 

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. 

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 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.”

The article on Bangladesh Sweatshops is based on the lack of justice in these factories. War on want is a charity that is fighting for long term solutions. This website is well laid out and covers many topics such as urgent actions and what the reader can do. The main writing talks on how the wages in Bangladesh Sweatshops aren’t enough, the conditions aren’t safe, and there is no to little power for the workers.  constant fighting for the rights of the workers. This page was intriguing as the reader can become a donor, and even continue searching about social issues. There was countless pages of injustice all over the globe.

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.
