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

the life of sweatshop workers in L.A are the same in indonesia is that they don't even get paid minimum wage they work for like 8 hours and only get paid like $25. the way that sweatshops in L.A are different from the ones in indonesia is that in sweatshops in L.A have immigrants working for the and in Indonesia they have kids working for them.

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 reason that poor immigrants work at sweatshops is because most of them don't have working papers.

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

what i think that is going to happen at the end of the movie is that the immigrants are going to get their working papers and get a good job.

life is difficult for indonesian nike workers at home because the work a lot and bearly make any money so its hard for them to buy things.

i think the reason that nike dose not want them to visit because they don't want people to know the way they work and make the children work for them.
