This question is as for the talk of particles for and against sweatshops. Sweatshops are described by International Labor Rights Forum, as an affiliation that ignores no less than two work laws (2013).

setbacks continuously occurred in the process of extending women’s rights, and in fact, various post-2005 movements have had a negative effect towards the attitude of women’s equality in Afghanistan.

few of the 58 countries who still enforce the death penalty, who still deny citizens their basic human right to life.

The United States should also attempt to have more pleasant prison environments as Solitary Watch reports that within prisoner communities at Grendon Prison in Birminghamshire, United Kingdom, “[Inmates] call staff by their first names, wear their own clothes, decorate their cells, cook and eat together, and are allowed a measure of…

a king-sized bed almost all day and night. How does that make you feel? Now, take that and imagine yourself being forced to stay there for years.
