Decent Essays

Many companies promised to eliminate their illegal labor practices, end poverty-level wages, and provide safer working environments for those who make American clothing. But have they? Unfortunately, unethical sweatshops around the world still make American clothing, and the conditions of these factories have

He believes that this would be the right thing to do but he doesn’t realize the effect it would make on the economy. When I first read his argument, I thought it was a good idea. After further research though, I am now opposed to it. Although Coffman has a point, you have to consider many consequences that might result if his argument were to be carried out.…

    The fashion industry's need to consider a system that is like what the clothing brand “People Tree’s” uses as it incorporates some social interaction with the workers and actually treating them like a human being, unlike the incidents in these sweatshops between workers and those who are in charge.

Just like the amount of suicide rates in farmers as a company took over their land, which was absolutely shocking for me when I found this out because it is an unimaginable issue to occur.

This is a story about clothing. It’s about the clothes we wear, the people who make them, and the impact the industry is having on our world.…
