Academic Language Week 35 - Sweatshops

Sweatshops are a violation of people's rights because they force you to do extreme LABOR with the reward being less then minimum wadge. This is ridiculous, nobody should ever have to work so hard for nothing. It is a violation to people's rights by being unfair, treating the workers like animals and not recognizing them of their hard-work, it's devastating that this is happening. Now some might argue that these workers signed a CONTRACT, coming into the job knowing what they are up for. But that still doesn't give anybody the right to over-work the workers or even treat the like slaves. Yes, they did signed the CONTRACT but they didn't sign up to be slaves, the bosses choose to treat them like that and they are also manipulating the workers, knowing they need the money, so they do anything to them because they know that they will take it and not quit because they know the workers need the money. These workers APPLY themselves too much to not get any credit and be treated like slaves, they do not deserve to be treated like this, these workers rights of equality is being striped. Another reason why Sweatshops are a violation to people's rights is that they take away a human right that John Locke proposed, stating that freedom is one of the three human rights that every human being has when they are born, working at a sweatshop will strip you of this right. So in conclusion, Sweatshops are a violation to people's rights, by striping them of both freedom and equality.
