Question

Our question is why do big companies have sweatshops and how can we stop them?

Sub Questions

How many sweatshops are there?

Where are they?

How many workers are immigrants?

How many companies that stop sweatshops are there?

Hypothesis

Sweatshops exist because companies want to make more money. This leads to workers not being paid enough and thus making their lives miserable. This also means that Nike or the makers have to try and hide the workers misery when their advisors come and have a look so they don’t get in trouble for not paying and being nice to the workers. We can stop them by protesting and making big companies to help stop them

Question For Part 1

The reason why big companies have sweatshop is because they can give their workers low wage and they earn a lot of profit, just by doing this. The Big Companies doesn’t need to worry about life insurance or medical insurance for their workers. The owners can do what ever they want to do their workers like hitting them and forcing them to work longer. The owners can ask to work longer because the workers there want to work longer just to get more money and afford food or water.

Question for Part 2

We can stop sweatshops by protesting about them, tell everyone on social media to help stop sweatshops. People can make a campaign about to stop sweatshop. We can write a letter to the government to help stop sweatshops. We can make a video about sweatshops and put it on the internet for everyone to see. People will look at the video and they may also help you with the protest or the campaign. Unicef or another organisation can also help stop sweatshops and will be really helpful.

Answer for Sub Question 1 and 2

There are sweatshops in every country even richer countries like USA, China, India and so on. But people haven’t fully counted every sweatshops in the world. But people have found out that the country that has most sweatshops is a country that is really poor.

Answer to Sub Question 3

In 2011, Mexico had 513 people who were immigrants and works in sweatshops. Reporters are still trying to find how much immigrants that work for sweatshops. If you were a immigrant who worked for a sweatshop, they instantly take your passport until your working contract is over and you can return to your country.

Answer to Sub Question 4

There are lot of companies that help to stop sweatshop like Australian TV Channel 7. But there are lot of infamous campaigns that are everywhere in the world. Even Nilo has a infamous campaign, which we hope that you will support. Unicef have tried to stop child labour which is also included as a sweatshop.

Conclusion

Our Hypothesis was correct, we have found a lot of information as a group and we used them really well in our website, video and our Presentation. Next time we should not fight over small because we had a little fight about small things that could be resolved really easily.
