a Gap store and most of their shirts go from $20 to $40. Not only is the price paid for the shirts reality, but also the wage the worker is obtaining for it, the reason for this is because I have a aunt which is a native of El Salvador, and she knows of people who worked in Sweatshops and

their salary was of 20 cents or less.

Although Jackson s summary is logical with many strengths, it also has some weaknesses. First of all, Jackson uses the fallacy of oversimplification when he gives an easy solution to a very complicated problem the U.S. faces. This fallacy is clearly seen when Jackson states If consumers spurn just one popular brand name, then other companies will rush to clean up their act, so he believes that if one popular brand name cleans up their act, then all other

brand names will also clean up their act. Second of all, Jackson is always attacking his opponent which is the republicans. He continuously tries to blame republicans for not caring for the well being of the working class. As an example Jackson states Republicans are out of step with this growing concern. They are busy gutting what few government protections exist for working

people (Behrens Rosen 308). Finally, Jackson uses the fallacy of Non Sequitur because he believes that if Americans got informed of sweatshops, then, they will get concerned and will stop purchasing the products produced inside sweatshops. In reality how many people care about

sweatshops? How many people will actually give up their favorite shoes or clothes to help out the working class? Not many, so Jackson s argument does not follow because most consumers do not care who, what, where, and how their products come about, all they care about is of satisfying their wants.

In conclusion, Jackson greatly emphasizes that the major problem with sweatshops is public, and government unawareness and the power of big corporations. But in reality the major problem with sweatshops is not big corporations, or public and government unawareness as Jackson argues. The real problem is the poverty that surrounds our society and the societies

around the world. Poverty is the main contributor to the making of sweatshops. There is so many people which are living below the poverty line which have really no choice on how to survive, so they turn to whatever is available, in this case sweatshops. This is how large corporations take advantage of the working class and the poor, because they know that this people are in need of

food, and shelter and that they will do anything to obtain it.
