Where sweatshops are a dream
Nicholas begins his column by talking about how our president and his team handle “labor standards.”The issue he brings to attention is how horrible this mountain of gross toxic smells, smoke and filth there is in Phnom Penh. A lot of the people there even have to live on this garbage. He is writing this to show the audience that even though our president means well, they are fighting back at sweatshops. The problem with that is these other families in poorer countries would love to have a sweatshop job. He states in his essay “ I’m glad that many Americans are repulsed by the idea of importing products made by barely paid, barely legal workers in dangerous factories. Yet sweatshops are only a symptom of poverty not a cause and banning them closes off one route out of property.” Readers and the audience wouldn’t know that because we just see them as bad for us and not others who are poor. He refutes his argument when talking about how people will ask him would you work in a sweatshop...
I love the flowers, but the image should not overwhelm the text. Try wrapping the text around the image so that they blend and complement each other. If you need help with that just ask me.
