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 i would make them legal citizens. i would because like they're people just like the rest of us and they deserve the same respect as citizens 

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

- some thing that i found memorable was when  the lady was watching  a video that her family sent her from her country and like her mom and dad told her to come back soon but she said it had been 18 years since she had last seen them

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 say that they can get through this together if they just keep trying and keep going and stuff and that as long as they dont give up and show that they wont give up that they might get what they want and need

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

The contractor because they don't want to get involved with the issues of the sweat shops and how they get paid less than minimum wage.

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

the thing that is wrong with their argument is that they are saying they aren't involved but they actually are because they hired the contractors and they have the clothing that the people made in the sweat shops, in their windows. 

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

because they are standing up for themselves and they don't want to work for such little pay.

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia?  How is it different?

Its the same because they all get paid like less than minimum wage and stuff and they work all day and all night and then they have to do the work and if they don't want to they can just leave but since they need the work they stay and put up with the crap that they must endure.

2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops?  Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at McDonald's?

They can't work as lawyers or Doctors or work in McDonalds because just to be successful in america or, anywhere really you have to be a legal citizen of the place in which you wish to work, you have to have your papers that say you are legal to be there and you need your working papers.

3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie

I have no idea but i hope that like they can like get there point across about the stuff that they are going through and stuf
