Should we stop buying them or not? What would happen if you do or do not.

If we stop buying them then the workers will have no job at all but if we buy too much they get overworked. The article made me think a lot about where my clothes are from, how they are made, and how much work actually goes into to making my clothes.]]> 2017-09-28 14:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192100587 mmossa21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192101727

My position of cheap clothes is very important to me. I think that we should consider the way we are getting our clothes. We should not stop buying them because how else will we get clothes? If we stop the clothing industry will lower & lower, we should get better conditions for the people this make out clothes. This article made me think that I am very lucky to be where I am now and not have to suffer.

Other countries are suffering and are only making $2-3 a day just by cutting there fingers and when the building collapsed on the workers. Lastly, I think if Americans can afford nicer clothes then they should buy quality over cheap quantity.

I believe there IS a real cost that the people making our clothes pay, that's a problem,
and it makes me appreciate my clothes even more. I think it is terrible what these children and women have to go through everyday at work. Where are we supposed to buy our clothes from then though if only 2% of the U.S.'s clothes are made in the U.S.? What if we stopped buying these clothes? The stores and companies would go out of business, the factories would shut down, and the employees would be out of jobs and not able to provide for their families.

Giving up buying them would be a hassle, and so is finding clothes that are strictly made in America. We should stop buying them because it is supporting dangerous, hard jobs with low wages.

We should not stop buying them because it preserves more expensive material for more important things. It does make me think about my clothes because I might reconsider buying clothes that I don't need. tbruneman21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192103150 2017-09-28 14:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192103150 Cheap clothes zrolando21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192104875 I think that we should stop buying these clothes because the people making these clothes are in bad conditions and are suffering. I think if we do stop buying these clothes then the people suffering to make them won't have to suffer and have to work hard. Yes, this article did make me think about were our clothes come from. I didn't know that people were in bad conditions and didn't get paired a lot for making these clothes.]]> 2017-09-28 14:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192104875 ogill21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192104881 I think that the cost of cheap clothes is a bad thing because instead of money being the real cost of the clothes it is people. Many people have died from making these clothes weather it be from health issues or from a falling building. There are horrible working conditions. I do not think we should stop buying them I just think that the owners of the company should think about their workers more than what goes in their pocket.

But the problem is clothes are a necessity in life and some stores charge way too much for clothes, So we lean towards clothes that are cheaper that we can afford. If we do continue nothing will change, but if we stop then there is a chance in will go on but if it does stop then there's the problem of the cost of clothes and etc. It does make me think and I know this may sound bad , but I can't take worrying every time I go to buy something if this effects the problem. This because it is hard enough to buy clothes already , So I don't want to make it worse and take more than a hour to buy clothes. Also I give old clothes to good will , So that get good use not causing pollution, But I see no way to stop the labor problems though. Also there is the question that even if the job is horrible what if the people over there can't afford to be able to lose it to support their families , So what happens when we take their one way of getting income from them and they can't survive. There is effects to good and bad that even if you try to do good it can effect others in a bad way. Things always come with consequences.

I want to stop buying cheap clothes, but there aren't many affordable alternatives. This article made me think about the people who are almost forced to make my clothes. I will definitely be more aware of this in the future.

But cheap clothes are not a great things for the people who make them. Yes, they do have a job and are getting paid, but they aren't getting paid well and the conditions in their work place are terrible. Many of the people who make cheap clothes have gotten sick or died. And at what cost? Something that comes and goes in the fashion trends. Something we may throw away a couple months later after we buy it because it isn't interesting anymore. But sadly there isn't much that we, the buyers, can do about this. Not buying the clothes will not stop them from making the clothes. It's sad that people have to suffer just for our trends just because it's cheaper to make clothes in poorer countries.

If we stop buying cheap clothing, then eventually those big name brands will slowly close down, leaving their employees with no job. The way we manufacture these clothes does need to change and conditions in factories also need to change. This article did make me think about the way my clothes are made.

I think this because if we stop buying them, it may help them think that maybe cheap fashion isn't safe for the environment, and that it isn't safe for people too. We shouldn't just be buying clothes which are priced higher than what they actually cost.

Their are some dangers for others, but what the article said was that we have improved our safety in the factory’s. It did make me think about where my clothes came from and how they were made. When I read the article it made me sad but it made me realize what these children and kids do for work. If we didn’t stop buying the clothes these people would be out of their jobs.

I think that we should buy a less amount of clothes so people can save money. If we stopped buying clothes, then we would have saved money, but our old clothes would be worn out and tight so we can't wear them anymore. This article shocked me of how much clothes actually cost, and that we are spending a lot of money on cheap clothing.

The people who make them will lost their jobs and won't have money to buy food and the necessary things to live. This article definitely made me think about where the clothes I wear everyday come from. Before reading the article it didn't really come to mind that my clothes were made by children or women that were dying and sick because of making them.

If we don't buy the cheap clothes than the employees will most likely lose their jobs.

We should give them better working spaces and better wages. If we don't buy them I think that maybe the people who make the clothes would run out of business with the clothes that aren't being bought. I usually think about where my clothes were made now.

It seems outrageous, and almost unbelievable. Although I do not agree with it I don't believe this reason will stop me and other people from buying cheap clothes, instead I believe we should just be more considerate and try to help those people instead of possibly putting them out of work if everyone protested buying what they were making.

I believe that we should continue buying cheap clothes because there is no harm and who doesn't like something cheap. If we did not buy cheap clothes I think our lives wouldn't change but our personalities might. What I mean by this is because we would all not be wearing our usual casual clothes. I think this because now in 2017 we mostly wear casual clothes because they are comfortable, but if we where to buy all these fancy and out of fashion clothes we would change our tone. This article we read made me think about where our clothes come from because I never thought this is how they are made. It's hard to believe that the hard workers get paid so little but make Americans lives so much easier. This is what I think about cheap clothes.

If we do keep buying them working conditions could get worse because they need more people. If we do not buy them then lots of people will be without a job. In this article it made me think about how kids would work in these factories and I could only imagine how hard it was for them. Also it made me think about how many clothes we throw away and how bad it is for the environment.

I don't think we should stop buying them because those people have free will and choosing to stay working at the factories where they make the clothes and they aren't leaving. I'm going to keep buying the clothes because it doesn't effect me of people have to go through to make the clothes. It doesn't effect me because those people are choosing to stay at the factories and not find a different job so therefore I don't feel bad for them.

If we stop buying clothes, those people making the clothes, won't get paid, and the companies who pay the people, won't get paid either, which is not necessarily good for anyone's cultural economy. Although if we keep buying these clothes, we are promoting the businesses to keep treating those people poorly. So I'm stuck in the middle, and I really don't know what we should do to help both sides out. It really made me think about where my clothes come from, and how others were treated because of the high clothing demand.

No one wants to sit in a dark, hot and smelly room all day. I also think that the people that make cheap clothing need more days off, especially if they are becoming ill.

But we can't stop buying from these stores because if we do then they will go out of business making these people from other countries lose their jobs.

I think that it's terrible that these make their companies millions of dollars for making these clothes and yet they still are given terrible working conditions which some people die from every day or week and they are only paid about 3 dollars a day. The worst part about it is that most of the workers there are children and many of them die.

I won't stop buying the clothing mainly because one person isn't' going to make a difference at all, plus I get most of my clothes from hand-me-downs f of my two older brothers.

If we stop buying inexpensive clothing merchandise, then most of the undeveloped countries that make OUR clothes, the clothing industry over there will be flushed down the drain. But, of course, if we continue to keep purchasing, then we will also be egging on the horrible conditions taking place around the world, so it's at this point that some of us do not know what to do.

There as many problems involved in cheap clothing and no answer is perfect. Boycotting them would kind of work but then you lose the business and they sell their products in other countries. One of the many problems we have is a minimum wage which forces businesses to pay a certain amount which companies get by by cutting hours, then government puts more regulations then the companies. A minimum wage is anti-capitalist and goes against how our economy works. We should encourage nationalism not globalism. To sole these problems we need government to step back so companies have huge incentives to stay in the U.S preventing child labor and practically slavery. If we refuse to buy their clothes they might leave or come back. Buying cheap clothes doesn't help the situation either because the companies grow and more people become workers.

I think cheap clothes is something good for people who can't afford many things but also bad in a way because it is dangerous for the people making the cheap clothes. The working conditions that they have for making these cheap clothes are very dangerous, whether it's health issues or even safety issues. I'm not really against the whole thing because I understand that people can't afford the expensive clothes, but we also have to consider when buying these things that people go through many issues while making cheap clothes.

We should start making more clothing in the United States and have employees that aren't forced to work in these horrible conditions. We could have less selection of clothes if we start making more of our clothes in the United States. Yes, this article made me think of where my clothes are coming from because I wouldn't want my clothes to cost someone's life as well as the price tag the store puts on them.

I believe cheep clothes are convenient for us to buy but we never think about the cost it may have on others. It would be best that we stop buying these cloths but we will not because we are not constantly reminded of the pain others go through to make these cloths. It not a direct conflict for Americans we aren't affected negatively by cheep cloths daily. If we stopped buying cheep cloths the people who own the companies will go bankrupt.

My family is vey opposed to buying expensive clothing so I mostly shop at Walmart. It would definitely make things worst if they lowered prices because first of all the people would be paid very little and they are barely get paid. Lowering prices would make things worse.

They work in awful conditions and are in very poor health. The clothing production industry is very dangerous and has led to many injuries in the past, and, in certain cases, even death. The conditions these workers go through are just terrible, and they don't even get paid well. These people barely get enough money to buy one meal, so pretty much, if you miss a day of work, you don't eat. I don't believe we need to stop buying these clothes, but we definitely should buy less, much less. karnold211 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192203798 2017-09-28 17:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192203798 Cheap Clothes llundvick21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192203883 I think it's nice to have clothes that are priced low. I think affordable clothes is what most people want. But I disagree with how the clothes are usually made. It is horrible to have people work in the conditions we read about in the article. It shocks me that there are young kids and older people working so often and working hard with these types of conditions and they don't even get paid fairly.

People around the world should not be getting hurt because us spoiled Americans want our clothes for cheaper. The adults and children working in the factory work so they can literally have enough money for one pair of clothes and hopefully some food, and we're still complaining about the cost of clothes. I think if we stop buying cheap clothes, Americans will be enraged, but lives in these other countries will be safer, people should not have to slave for us, so we can have cheaper clothing.

Then after all their hard work making 3$ a day making 1000 articles of clothing 1 piece of clothes they made sells for more they make in a day. That is wrong to put young children through hard manual labor just to make a quick buck. In my opinion fast fashion shouldn't be a thing, but there's such a demand for clothing in America I don't think fast fashion is going to stop anytime soon.

If we don't by cheap clothes then the factories would stop and the businesses that sell the clothes would go down. Yes this article made me think about where the clothes were from and it made me sad to see how the people are working just to make clothes. They are not even getting a good amount of pay for it!

find it unfair and terrible how many families must endure working several working hours in enclosed areas with relinquished freedom, just to make our clothing. I mean sure it has to all come from somewhere but the way and order it comes is not right or just. People are not machines, they aren't built to do such hard labor and what's worse is they aren't paid enough money to do it. People work to gain money to support their families but how can they do that if they aren't even paid the minimum wage.

I firmly think that we need to stop buying cheap clothes and purchase more local, U.S. made clothes. If we do so we will limit pollution of our world, grow the U.S. economy, and limit the number of fatalities while cheap clothing is produced because of more stringent regulations in the U.S. This article made my think about the clothes I wear because I now realize how much time and effort, also not to mention danger is put in the clothes I wear.]]> 2017-09-28 17:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192204430 Cheap Clothes lpomeroy21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192204439 I don't think we should stop buying these clothes because many people can't afford the high end clothing, that's why I think the cheap clothes should still be around. If we don't buy these clothes, many people around the world would lose their jobs because we stopped buying the clothes they make.

I think we should still buy cheap clothes because so many people do it it would be hard to get ride off, but I do think we have to change the conditions of factories. Factories are pushing their workers way to hard for the amount of payment they get we must up the paychecks. I also think we have to figure out the solution to all of the waste and materials being dumped by factories.

There are no benefits to buying cheap clothing. Since it's basically promoting child labor and polluting the environment.

It is too far gone at this point. It is basically a lost cause. If we boycott Nike then where are we going to buy our shoes and clothes from. There is no alternatives. Even if someone made a USA clothing company and paid them good no one would buy from them because they are too expensive due to labor laws. This article did not make me think where my clothes come from. I know where they are coming from and yes it is sad but what am I going to do about it not wear my school uniform because it's made overseas. It would be nearly impossible for change. Even our school uses overseas workers for our uniforms and our homecoming shirts and stuff like that. If everyone just magically stopped buying stuff from Nike then I guess there would be another company to rise in the United States. There are so many company's though that use overseas workers that it is nearly impossible. There would also be many problems with the economy and inflation would probably ensue.

If people stop buying cheap clothes then the other people who make them will see that they are doing a bad thing and should at least have an air conditioner to keep the working men, women, or children alive.

We should try not to buy it so they can go out of businesses so the kids can go do something they want to do and not just work long hours.

On one side, the cost of cheap clothes should go up. This is so that the actual workers who are making them can receive more pay. Right now they are receiving about 1/3 of our minimum wage here in the United States. On another side, the cost of cheap clothes should go down. This is so that the consumers and distributors of these cheap clothes will be discouraged from buying from these poor working condition factories. Hopefully this would mean that working conditions would improve and the selling price would also go up. We should try to buy clothes that were mad in the United States so that we know that the working conditions that these clothes were made are standard.

In the article it states how the factories make thousands of clothing a day, and this number shows that the U.S is buying an absurd amount of clothing.

Yes, fashion has become a very popular thing these last few years, and people think that finding cheap clothes is a very rare thing. However, hundreds of people have had to risk their lives just to satisfaction our needs. If we didn't buy as many clothes, then there wouldn't be as much of a demand for new clothes, meaning that there would need to be less labor, saving more lives. We should only buy clothes if we absolutely need more clothes. If you are not going to use a piece of clothing anymore, use the old cloth as a cleaning rag.

For the people who really need cheap clothes because they can't get a job or simply can't afford them, cheap clothes should stay. As the article mentioned, I think the best thing we can do is really focus on the safety and wages of the people making the clothes in places like Bangladesh and China. The companies may lose some money, but they should be able to risk (compared to how much money these companies are worth) that small amount of money in order to possibly save human lives.

I think we should try to stop buying cheap clothes because eventually it will tell the people in the market to stop producing them, which will possibly stop them from making people work in those bad conditions.

I think in my opinion that we should keep buying them. If it’s one of the only ways people will get their wages, why not? If we did not buy cheap clothes, the company would not earn profit, which would also result where people start losing wages.

Cheap clothes can be helpful because it is more cost efficient. I think that we should cut down on our purchases of cheap clothes because they are coming from places where we are unsure if the conditions are safe, and the process of making them is hurtful to the environment. An alternative to buying low quality but new cheap clothes is buying higher quality used clothes. There are many stores, such as Good Cents in Geneva, that will buy your used clothes from you and resell them to others cheaper then what you would buy low quality clothes. Many times, you can find unworn clothes with the tags still on them, because people buy things and then change their mind.

It is up to the company to get the factories in other countries to improve conditions or move production to a more regulated country and it is our job to speak up and pressure these companies.

This doesn’t mean though, that the price of clothes has to skyrocket. The profits made by the factories can be reduced and used to repair the buildings over time.

I think that cheap clothes should be made a different way, not including using children to make them. I think it would be good to stop buying cheap clothes, but you don’t necessarily have to. It would be better if we stopped because then all these poor people could finally live a life of freedom for once. If we keep on buying them, then things will remain the same or increase because of popularity. This article did make me think about where my clothes come from in a different way than what I originally thought. I thought that they might’ve just been made in a normal factory.

In order to continue to buy these articles I have to do my research, and see what company’s will take the extra step to improve working conditions.

If at least half of our clothes were produced in the United States, we could avoid a lot of issues such as the collapse of the Bangladesh factory that happened by over filling the building with workers.

If we stop buying the clothes, then the workers in Bangladesh and China won't work as hard but will get put out of a job eventually which is bad, but if we continue buying clothes, then we force them to work harder and create more landfills which is still bad. I personally think we shouldn't buy as many clothes as we do today and discard less. I did start thinking about the people making our clothes because of all the work that goes into making one pair of jeans.]]> 2017-09-28 18:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226388 Cheap Clothes ewagh21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226440 I personally believe that we should raise the prices of cheap clothes. This is due to the minuscule wages that are being used by factories. If we raise the prices of clothes, less people will buy clothes frequently. The less clothes sold at low prices, the less people payed low wages. This article really opened my eyes to what is going on in the clothing industry, and makes me really ask. Why must we buy so much clothes?]]> 2017-09-28 18:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226440 Cheap Clothing tjannusch21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226495 Cheap clothing is good for poor people who cannot afford name brands. However, the other country's workers that make the clothing are put under bad working conditions. Children are forced into labor at a young age because job wages are so low. Working conditions cause women sewing to continue work even if they are sick and can possibly even lead to death. These low wages and bad conditions are the cause of prices being so cheap in America. Families that can afford to buy other clothing should, but people who cannot should continue buying cheap clothing. Yes, I thought about how my clothes are made.]]> 2017-09-28 18:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226495 Cheap Clothes jleonard21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226552 This article definitely made me think more about what I buy. I am currently completely broke, so of course I would rather buy cheaper clothes, but then again I really don't need more clothes. The people making this clothing are treated awfully, barely paid, and have to stay in awful working conditions everyday; is that really worth a $10 shirt? I think we should reduce the amount of cheap clothing we buy. I know it would be very hard to completely stop buying cheap clothing and maybe even a little naive for me to say. Just easing up on the amount of clothes we buy might make a difference. If you do it for long enough and maybe convince other people to do it with you, you could start to make a big difference.]]> 2017-09-28 18:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226552 Cheap Clothes lsauceda21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226617 I believe that cheap clothing is a necessary evil in this world. As bad as it is for the environment and people having to make these clothes, this is their job. Even if it doesn't pay well, they'd be worse off without it, with at least a little bit of income they can scrape out a living which is better than nothing. While I believe it is our obligation being a more advanced country to try and the poorer countries on to our level, that doesn't mean we should stop buying the clothes from these countries, if we stopped all together then there would be more people in poverty and jobless than before.

Ya they are cheap and that's helpful when buying things, but I really don't buy clothes unless I know that these will be something I wear for a long time. Most clothes that are like that tend to be a little more expensive, but if you simply wear them enough, your saving a lot of money you would've spend buying new cheap clothes all the time. I think we should try to stop buying these kinds of clothes just because of how much it would help people, but everyone loves buying cheap clothes. This movement would be nearly impossible to pull off because everyone likes these clothes. Even if you did pull this off, this may hurt some people. A lot of businesses would go down, and factories workers would lose their jobs causing some major problems. But on the plus side, the environment would improve, and people wouldn't have to be in danger working. This article defiantly made me think about my clothes and where they are from.]]> 2017-09-28 18:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226826 Cheap Clothes ndaehn21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226941 The cost of cheap clothing is a horrible cost to pay. I don't think we should stop buying the clothing, but I do think that the working conditions the people who make the clothes working should be better. I also think the pay should be better. If we stop buying these clothes, then certain clothing industries will loose large quantities of money. The upfront article really made me think about the effort that goes into the clothes that people in the United States buy and wear.]]> 2017-09-28 18:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192226941 All people should make the change to stop buying cheap clothing from companies who don't treat their workers like human beings. If we continue to buy clothes from these companies even more accidents and fatalities can occur since the workers do not have proper working conditions. Not only do these workers have terrible conditions, but they also only get $2-3 an hour. They even risk getting fired if they are sick or have to skip a day. This article really opened up my eyes to this crisis that is happening right in front of us. Most of the clothing I buy is from the companies that do not treat their workers with respect, and so in result this article made me not want to continue shopping at those stores. jheffelfinger21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192227146 2017-09-28 18:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192227146 Cheap Clothes apomeroy21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192227526 I believe it is a necessity for people to be able to buy cheap clothes, although I would be more cautious with how many of said "cheap" clothes I buy. If I did not stop buying cheap clothes then I believe unfortunately companies would move to other developing countries with less safety precautions and sanctions so they could continue making massive amounts of clothes without worrying about safety for workers and paying them that much. Yes this article has made me think about how awful the work lives of these people must be. They work all day long making tons of clothing items for almost little to no cost whatsoever.]]> 2017-09-28 18:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192227526 Cheap Clothes apomeroy21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192227748 I believe it is a necessity for people to be able to buy cheap clothes, although I would be more cautious with how many of said "cheap" clothes I buy.

I feel like people should buy them ,but people buy a lot of them. People should buy these cheap clothes sparingly and not just buy a ton of clothes, wear them a few times, and then throw them out. That’s just wasteful. We should buy clothes that we know will last a long time. If we stop buying cheap clothes, those sweatshop workers will lose their jobs and it would be harder for them to live. I’m sure they would rather have a low pay job than no job at all. I definitely thought more about where my clothes come from and the real cost of them is, but I don’t think I’ll stop buying cheap clothes anytime soon.]]> 2017-09-28 18:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192228932 Cheap Clothes ralvaro21 https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192229527 Obviously all of us would love to have fashion at the fraction of the cost from other brands. It is necessary in this society to look well. However there is more going on to make the clothes cost cheap. In the countries that manufacture that clothes, they work long hours to fulfill the order for the fashion that is cheap. Child labor maybe involved which is bad. However, we should not stop buying these clothes. The people in third world countries have to make a living to survive somehow. If we stop buying clothes, then the people in other countries can't survive. However, if we do buy these clothes we also support the big corperation that sells these clothes. So now we are then at a stalemate. What I believe then, is to only buy cheap fashion if you really need to. This did make me second think about where the cheap fashion has come from.]]> 2017-09-28 18:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192229527 Cheap Clothes https://padlet.com/awojciechowski/cheapclothes/wish/192831941 I say we should not buy them because it would be a waste of money if you buy the clothes and then not end up wearing them very often. We can buy them if that is call you can afford but be careful of what you buy. This article definitely made me think about what clothes I buy on a every day basis. I will now be more careful of the things I buy.
