Made In L.A Part 3

1. If it were up to you to make the decision, would you let the sweatshop workers become legal U.S. citizens? Why or why not?

Yes because they work really hard to be in the state also they work hard to make clothes in the state and for the stores. They should become permanet there. They belong there.

2. Describe a moment in from parts 1, 2, or 3 of this movie that you found particularly memorable? Why?

In the first part i remeber is when they were talking about that their first job was sewing because that was the first job that popped up that you wouldn't need any papers. The second part that i remeber is when they started to protest and start making signs and walking in the streets to show people what they are going threw. The third part is that they continue to protest and then they started to quit because no one was listening and not caring.

3. By the end of part 3, the protestors seem to be giving up hope. If you were able to speak to the group, what would you say to them to inspire them to keep going?

I would tell them not to give up. That if you would give up all your things you have been saying won't matter anymore and you would just throw it all away. That you should never give up your hopes to anything. We have been doing this for 3 years now and we are not going to give up. We work to hard to be paid the amount we get now. We are not giving up because some little things that happen to us. We are going to continue until we are served with respect from people who wear our work and who sell them to. Never give up on those you believe in.

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

I would blame Mr.Lahana because he was the one you paid the contractor $10.

2. What’s wrong with Forever 21′s argument?

The problem is that they aren't making enough money.

3. Why do the workers continue to protest even if it means they might lose their jobs?

Because they know they are not making a lot of money and they know it's not fair.

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.

NO FAIR

I'm sad

I'm mad

I can't take it no more

I can't believe that other people make more money then me

When i'm the one that should succeed

I'm the one who makes them

Next thing you know you make more money then me by just wearin them

That ain't fair

Give me some respect

I deserve the BEST!!!

I'the one that lives in a rat hole

I'm over here have to share with other people

Not you

I'm the one that got a bathroom so small

That it be coming out in the lake

Man the smell that I can't even take

I can't support this no more

Man I'm getting bored

That's it

It's over

No more game time!!!!

Behind The Swoosh Part 2

1. How much do Nike workers make in Indonesia each day? How many hours a day do they work?

I think they make $1.25 each day and they work 15 hours a day.

2. What is life like for Indonesian Nike workers at home?

It's hard long and it's complicated for then to live a lifestyle like that. Not being able to see your kids it's sad to see how they live. They live in little places sharing it with other families. Their bath is outside. They have to share with 10 other different families. I mean it's nasty to have to share with other people and not have your own privacy.

3. Why won’t Nike talk to Jim or Leslie or let them visit the shoe factory?

They won't let them in or talk because the headquarters think that they are trying to get a way in to do something bad to their company.
