From all the readings about free trade, globalizations have make me wonder the issues of sweatshop. I have always check where the stuff I buy came from because sometimes I based on where the item is made to ensure if the price is fair and quality. But I never toke time to think who are the people that is making the products and what kind of working conditions and environment they are living in. When I read the article and the information are surprising. The laborers are working in harsh conditions and they are not being treated with respect. Personally, I will not change my consumer habits because of the sweatshop because in reality they produce the goods with a cheaper price for me to buy and there is no reason to buy something more expensive. Yes, the sweatshops are not treating the worker in the right way but they are providing them with jobs, as it states in many articles it is a natural stage of globalizations. Because of the sweatshop it opens up many opportunities for people to provide for their family, if there weren’t any sweatshop many will end up starving to death. Not buying the products that are from sweatshop is not going to help to solve the problems.
