Consumer Worksheet
In response to the Consumer Worksheet, I found that many of my belongings came from China and that is including my phone. Once I researched the working conditions of the factories in China I found that most of the workers make no more than $200 a month and most of that goes to food and grocery's. I also read that most of the workers in the factory's are children and young woman who work long hard hours and do not get paid for overtime. These workers have a certain quota to meet by the end of the day and will stay until that quota is met. Its hard to imagine that people work in conditions such as these and its sad to think that somewhere in the world someone is rushing to make the clothes that will eventually be ours to wear. :/
