"Sweatshops" Ideas for Further Discussion


1. What are the American students' intentions with their protests of "sweatshops"? Do you believe that their own experiences allow them to truly understand what working in a "sweatshop" is really like? Do you believe they understand the alternatives available to the workers in these countries?

2. Why do some view a job in a "sweatshop" as an improvement in the workers' lives?

3. How might the protests hurt the availability of jobs for people in these poor countries? How do you think the companies will react to the protests?
