Title of Article: Two Cheers for Sweatshops

1) Argue whether or not sweatshops are inherently good or bad for the people who work in them.

2) Do you believe globalization helps all people within the system? Think about workers in the participating countries in your response.

3) Do you believe most Americans benefit from sweatshop labor? Why or why not? Consider the price of goods, jobs that are lost or created by imports, and the competition on manufacturers to have better, cheaper products.

4) How does social awareness and conscience factor into people and how they shop? Is it significant enough to bring back American manufacturing? Are American companies being honest with people in disclosing where their products are either entirely or partially manufactured in other countries?
