“Where
Sweatshops Are a Dream’’ by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New York times on
January 15, 2009 is an emotional ride along that carry you though the need for sweatshops.
Like when Kristof
said a mother hope her son grows up and get a job at a factory because she seen
other children run over by garbage trucks, as well as say her boy never been to
a doctor or dentist and the last time he had a bath he was 2 so a sweatshops
jobs in comparison there are far more pleasant and less dangerous. The writer
even talks about how sweatshop soared the living standards of his wife
ancestral village in southern china. I’m pro for sweatshops the living condition
that some people live in are just unbelieve, if a sweatshop can get people in a
better environment why not take the opportunity with both hands and run with
it. Manufacturing can give jobs to millions yet it not going to the poorest
nation but the better off ones like Kristof said living wages have a large
impact on production cost so companies push to operate more in
capital-intensive than labor-intensive. If the companies where putting the
factories in a better location it could help with economy.
I know a lot
of Americans hate the idea of a sweatshop but would you want little Johnny day
after day look though trash just to get paid less than a dollar for work.
