Sweatshop assessment

In the article "Fight for fair treatment of workers: Don't buy Nike" is that workers in the Nike sweatshops are being abused.  If a worker did a mistake they were either slapped, hit with shoes, kicked and being forced to stand under the hot sun.  They are also being payed $1.25 a day.  Nike can also have a profit from athletes.  For example Lebron James made a supportive deal to Nike worth $90 million.  Tiger woods also a deal worth $100 million.  What I think of this issue is unacceptable.  Abusing your employees and getting huge profits from famous athletes like Lebron and Woods is violating human rights.  Nike isn't giving a second thought on their workers but they're trying to make a big profit.  Of course there are other sweatshops like that, but disrespecting your workers is more like controlling their lives.  What I found most upsetting is that if they wanted to buy hygiene they had to give up paying for food because they're payed $1.25 a day  I didn't know it was that complicated for them to live like this.

In the poem "The Sweatshop poem" the argument is that workers in SweatShops workers sometimes considered themselves slaves.  One piece of evidence is "My self is destroyed I become a machine" this shows that this person thinks that they have become a machine from working in long hours.  Second piece of evidence is "I lose my mind, forget who I am" showing that they get so focus on work and they don't even remember who they really they are only having work in their minds.  Reading the sweatshop poem was different from reading the article is by the point of view.  In the article the only point of view is a report or journalist.  In The Sweatshop it has a worker's perspective of how they feel while working their point of view.  This form of reading affected my understanding of the poem by seeing how even though workers are living a complicated life they write poems to express themselves.  Or have some else write ir for them, or show the public how sweatshops take care of them.
