Image result for sweatshopsNicholas explains in this essay that about how rough labor standards can be. He states the problem is that "it’s like a vision on hell" saying that the way life is being lived is not worth nothing, but something to some people. People are trying so desperately to survive off of very little. His purpose of this essay is to get the reader to identify how people are actually considering sweatshops as a job and a safe escape out of poverty. He appeals to pathos by saying " a woman hopes her 10 years old boy, scavenging beside her grows up to get a factory job, because she has seen other kids get ran over by garbage trucks". Basically saying that some people don't have a choice of a better life, a factory job is what they only see as a real future for their families. Nicholas states " sweatshops are only a symptom of poverty, not a cause" because it’s better than not just being productive at all, when at least you can have a low paying job with its difficulties, than just straight struggling on your own. The main argument in this essay is " labor standards can improve wages and working conditions, without greatly affecting the eventual retail cost of good" however the countries with less resources can only improve labor standards based on how production is progressing. He concludes by making the point that it’s not about what America wants, sweatshops could please the poverty in certain countries because their living standards won’t allow them to be as successful in life as how they want to be. Explaining that sweatshops could be the only answer or for progression for people who feel like their stuck at the bottom. Overall the argument is effective because it’s well-intended that people need sweatshops despite all of the issues a sweatshop has.
