final research paper

I am going to write my final paper on sweatshops. The piece we read in class about sweatshops in other countries really made me interested. I never realized that about half of the clothes I own could have been made in another country by someone getting paid tremendously lower than minimum wage. I think that sweatshops should be shut down. This could also help increase poverty in the US because these jobs are being done in other countries. People should not be slaving for 16 hours or more and not even get enough money to live in a place with a roof over thier head.
In my paper I will discuss the pros and cons of sweatshops and why I truly feel that they should be no longer. I will relate information to the artile we read by Tom Hayden and Charles Kernaghan. I will also use two other sources that I found most helpful.
