1. Who does Forever 21 blame for the sweatshops? Why?
Forever 21 blames their contractors because they claim that the contractors where the ones with the ability to hire people.
2. What’s wrong with Forever 21′s argument?
Forever 21's argument is wrong because they stated that they did not know what was going on and now that they found out what happened why didn't they change anything? I think its forever 21's fault as well as the contractors because they hired the contractors to hire people to make the clothing.
3. Why do the workers continue to protest even if it means they might lose their jobs?
The workers continue to protest even if it meant losing there jobs because they thought it was unfair how they were treated they worked 12 hours and got $1.25 every hour meaning they get paid 15 dollars a day that is not enough for food, clothing, rent, or educational purposes (books,pencils,folders etc.)

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?
Its different because they actually know english but they don't have there papers.
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? The poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops because the sweatshops don't ask for the papers or expericence in working for jobs.
3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie.
I think at the end of this movie the forever 21 president will understand where there coming from because wouldn't you get upset if you worked 8 hours and get paid $3.50 every hour meaning by the end of that day you will be paid $25.00. Will you get upset if you were put in that situation?
