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 because i dont think that its fair that they get treated different and they have different jobs from every one else. i also think its not fair that they get paid way less than how other people get paid. they work very hard just like every one else but they dont get paid the same amount.

2. Describe a moment in from parts 1, 2, or 3 of this movie that you found particularly memorable? Why......one thing thay i will always rememeber is the fact that one of the ladys left their children back in their home town. she had to leave them their being rased by her mom and dad. she hasnt went back for 18 years i think . another thing is that one of the ladys have kids. but sometimes she doesnt have a enough money to provide food for them. i dont understand how they provide foodand pay the rent if they only get about 3.00 an hour.

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 taht its worth it to keep going because they have to think about their children and most of their familys. they have to be strong and brave so that people could lisen to them . also to keep fighting for their rights

Who does Forever 21 blame for the sweatshops? Why

they blame them because they dont want people to stop buying from their stores. also because they could get sued or lose money. but really forever 21 is the ones to blame.

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

the fact that their blaming the contractors and stuff is wrong because really its their fault . they just dont want to edmit it because they know hot much money they would loose . also because they know that it would make a bad impression . then know one would want to shop thier .

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

because they want to fight for their rights. evan if that means loosing their jobs their still going to keep on . i feel that its worth it to protest against them.

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

there the same because they both work a lot of hours but the get paid a very small amount of money. the workers in l.a get paid about 3.00 for working 8 hours. in indonesia they get paid 1.25 for working 12 hours a day.

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 ?

i think they could never get hired for working at some other place because maybe other people think they are immigrants . also some people just don't want them working there because of their race.

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

what i think is going to happen is that maybe every one is going to end up fired because they keep on complaining and their bosses don't like that . there bosses always tell them that if they don't like what their doing than they should just leave

If i had the chance to change my and other peoples life styles i would. but i feel like everytime i try to do something i would always get hurrased ... Some times people evan get kiiled and locked up for trying to stop this. no matter how hard u try you ca never try to stop this disgrace. i really dont like the face that mi and my family have to live in one small little place. i have to share a real smalll room with me my sisters and brothers. we all sleep on a small matris . the matris is a really small and thin. it really doesnt make a difrence if i sleep on the floor or not. each and every one of us have to eat a very small supply of food. since we each get 1.25 a day we all save up our money so tha we cold have enough to eat. i also cant stand the rats and the rouches that crawl around at night. i get really scared at night because i dont want any of them to crawl on me .

1. How much do Nike workers make in Indonesia each day? How many hours a day do they work?
the workers get paid about $ 1.25 in a day . they work for about 12 to 13 hours.

2. What is life like for Indonesian Nike workers at home?
there are really small rooms. about 4 woman share one room ...basicly they live in a small little box and in that one little room they share and have all their belongings. they sleep on little flat matrices o the floor. they wash there cloths by hand on the floor. there is also a well in the floor were they get water from alothough the water is not as clean as out water.

3. Why won’t Nike talk to Jim or Leslie or let them visit the shoe factory? because all the workers were told not to tlk to them and if they do they will have to suffor the consiquenses. ether they will be hurrased or evan killed.

1. What does it mean to “make a decent living”? What should you be able to afford to buy? i think it means that u should be able to have cloths,shoes,food,shelter,family,and friends. we should b able to afford food,and cloths and shoes and to buy a house that u could live in and then pay rent.

some sneackers come from china. they are made in china. some are also mad in mexico. maybe evan factories .some are hand mad too.

i think a sweat shop is a place were they make people work. almost like slavery.maybe people are kept there to work but there are barley paid .

1. this summer i saw a video of a boy who jumped off a cliff. when he jumped he went head first and banged his head on a rock ... his hole face split open from his down his eyes all the way to his jaw.. No Body Knows He Servived or not ..2. This Summer a friend of mine in D.R went to a river with all her friends and her 3 sisters.. while she was in the river she drowned in some type of swirl that was in the water which was caused  by some a tube.

3. one day when i was walking

1. Do you think consumers (people who buy things) have the right to sue McDonalds for selling unhealthy food? Why or why not? i think they do have the right to sue them because they never warn people about whats the side affects.i also think that when other people try to sell a product or something the do show the side affects. there are t much people out there who go to mcdanald on a daily bases. scince they go there on a daily bases they get fatter and fatter. so yes i do think that they should be sued.

2. McDonalds is the largest owner of private playgrounds in the world. What other ways  does McDonalds use to market their food to children? one of the ways they get for children to buy their food is by the kids meal. i think they get convinsed into buying the kids meal because they make many camercials with ronald mcdanald. also they kids meal is a low price which makes the parents buy it because they no they wont waist money.

3.  How many calories do you think a healthy kid should eat in a day (clickhere for a clue)?  According to the movie, how many calories are in a Super size fries?  How about a Double Gulp soda? i think a kid should have about 1850 a day. ushally when kids go to mcdanalds and they order super size fries hey are eating up about 610 calories. thats how much is in only one pack of french fries. also one bottle of soda contains about 270 calories. so when you think about it you drink soda almost every day. so when u time that with the 7 days in the week u would get about 1890 calories.

the only time i eat in fast food restaurants is about once in 3 weeks.i would say its not healthy but i no my limets of eating unhealthey stuff. sometimes i dont really care if im eating fast food because EVERY time i eat a lot i never gain weight.i think and i no that i eat more than my sister my mom and my dad.

2. What do you predict will happen to Morgan’s health at the end of the month? Do you think he will remain in perfect health?

i think his weight and health with not be the same at the end of the month because he's just going to be eating mcd daily.he's just going to gain more and more weight.

3. In one scene there is a shot of a McDonalds inside of a hospital. What do you think about that? Do you find it normal, funny, strange, or sad?

i find it strange and sad because people would ushally think its funny but what if one day you are in that mcd near the hospital and u get a heart attack while eating...the hosptal near by would save your life beacuse ushally when people get hert there so far away from the hospital that eventully they dont make it.

1. How do factory farms treat animals differently than family farms?
factory farms are difrent from family farms because usally factory farms treat there animals like garbade.the factory animals always get sick.some of them evan catch deseases.but family farms are treated way better than factory farms because they can walk around free they are not all crouded in one little place.also the famil farms are treated right and healthy.family farms are taken more care of than factory farms.some of the people dont evan eat from there family farms.they would also use them as pets and treat them lke family.i would know because my family does have a family farm and they take very good care of them.

2. Why are animals fed antibiotics in factory farms and why is this dangerous?
animals are fild with antibiotics so that they wont have any deaseses. but people are starting to take edvanidge of the antibiotics and because of that they antibiotics not working now. they dont really make a diffrence to the animals now.the owners of the animals are just constently giving them the antibiotics.the deseases are now givien to people because when the people eat the chickan they take that deasese and then there no cure for it.

1. What were the most interesting parts in this documentary?

the most coolest piercings i know is on the belly button and on the right side of the bottom of your lip. those are one of the most piercings i would most likely like to get in the future.

2. Name at least three reasons why people get pierces.

people get them because they look nice and there cool although people who like to have some extreme piercing are just doing it because they want atention or its because there crazy.

Do different pierces say different things about people? For example, does having your ears pierced say something different then having an eyebrow ring?i think it does because having a piercing on your eye brow is type normal but if u have a piercing in your eye it definitly means your crazy. having a piercing on your eye is a big risk because god forbid the piercing goes rite threw your eye then theres a chance you will be blind for ever.

3. is there such thing as to much piercings? i think there is because people have over 50 or 60 piercings in there face and i think its nasty!!!!!

My Alien

what i think about the video of the kid that killed him self is that he should off done that i get really emotional when i see things like this i feel like kids that are bullying need to stop.. like to be honist some times i do bully but it not that disrespect full.. like some times when they do some thing really stupid that ofendes my or my friends i have to say something. seeing this video wants to help kids that are being bullied because u never no if they could do the same thing that the id do in the video. no one would want any of there kids family of friends to do this to them self.i never really new that bulling wold lead to killing them self. but... i wanna no what happened to the kids that made ryan kill him self ? did ryan evan have any friends to dafend him or tell him that he shouldnt kill him self?
