Forever21

1. Who does Forever 21 blame for the sweatshops? Why?  The contractors 

2. What’s wrong with Forever 21′s argument? There the ones that give the contractors a lil money and rush them


3. Why do the workers continue to protest even if it means they might lose their job? Because the don't wanna work there no more


Made In L.A

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?

The way it is the same in Indonesia is that they both work more hours and make less amount of money. Also they both suffer from the jobs that they have.Also they are not able to spend time with their kids or family as much as they are supposed to do. The difference they have is that in L.A you have a house of your own and in Indonesia you have to share with other people.

2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at Mcdonalds? They don't have enough to be there or they don't have the right education to afford it.

3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie

Probably they are going to make a parade saying that we deserve better and need to pay a better amount and go into debate with them.
