Sweatshops
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

So most people around the world know of sweatshops right? Well how is it that most of my friends have no idea what i mean when i scream out sweatshops. My friends walk into the room, donning their hollister sweaters and their abercrombie shirts. Why am I the only one who sees the countless number of hardly paid women and children all over the seams? Why am I the only person who hears the girl my age in China wonder where her friend disappeared to after demanding a pay raise? Am dellusional or is everyone else blind and deaf?
For the 7 years I have lived in Canada, I have observed the materialistic lifestyle we are styled to live. Cheaper clothes means a lower step on the heirarchy of class. Anything not from Abercrombie, Hollister or American Eagle is deemed to be cheap and unwanted.
The issue of sweatshops has expanded as these stores have expanded. And yet there are people who are pro-sweatshops. I would like to suggest they, themselves, go in place of one of the workers in a sweatshop and see how they feel after a month or even a week.
Industries have long exploited the people of the developing countries. I am going to try a boy cott of all sweatshop using stores which will be hard because I know almost all huge stores have sweatshops. This will definitely be a challenge but its one I am ready to take on! How does everyone else feel about sweatshops?
