• Why are worldwide sweatshops known but not televised?
• How can we make people more aware of underground sweatshops of today?
- These questions are beneficial in supporting my argument which are the similarities of past sweatshops and present day sweatshops.
- It will help me develop my point of why our general population turn our backs to the issue of underground sweatshops and still wear them.
• What would happen to our society on an economic level if we shut down illegal sweatshops around the world?
• Are there unknown sweatshops in the US today? Why do people turn their heads when they know something is wrong?
- I felt these questions were rather intriguing and would help with my argument in my essay. I bring my argument to a new level and make me want to research more.
If underground sweatshops become public and make stories in mainstream media coverage, how do you think people would react? Would that change our shopping habits or would it just make us turn our backs even more? Is there a possibility for a change in what we may call our “present day slavery”? What is the ultimate reason as to why we ignore this illegal business?

"If information about sweatshops become more available, would it change peoples buying habits?" I think that this is an important question to research further. After the documentary on WALMART came out, it changed a lot of peoples perceptions of the retail giant. (Look into this). Yet the problem is that so much of our clothing comes from sweatshops that it would be difficult to boycott just one brand.
