Chie says "When women are fired they have no way to support themselves but going i to prostitution." Does this not beg the question that if there were no sweatshops there would no jobs except prostitution? Sweatshops are not a good thing by our societal standards but necessary for theirs.

doesn't the invisible hand (govt,banks,corps) have a moral obligation to not indulge in SLAVERY simply because its cheap, isn't that what the confederacy argued b4 the civil war and you say "we" demand cheap products as if this invisible hand isn't making more of a profit than us. if it costs 5 dollars to make a pair of gym shoes then why does a pair of air jordans cost like 130 bucks. please respond!

There are many sweat-shops in England, but they cannot be closed because the owners and workers are Indians.

The human rights of the Indians woud be violated, if the police were to act against them.

Any action against the sweat-shop owners would be seen as racist, because the owners are non-white.

i watched this for my fashion class and it pissed me off. This is inhumane. I hate seeing animals and people suffer. Its so surreal to me.

@Balian49 "you and i are responsable for sweatshops, because you and i demand cheap goods"

How the fuck is $150 for Nike shoes a demand of cheap goods?
