What are conditions like in these sweatshops?
These children 11 or sometimes younger are routinely beaten and slapped sometimes falling from exhaustion forced to work 12-14 hours a day sometimes over night 7days a week. For just wages of 61/2 s
cents a hour. That's not even enough to live on. The wages are so low that some children wake up at 5:00am just to brush there teeth with there finger and asks from a fire cause they don't have enough to buy tooth paste and tooth brush! Workers say if they could at least make 36 cents a hour they could come out of misery into poverty which means a at least decent life.Child workers often are slapped around because they fall behind in there work production or take to long in the bathroom which is filthy lacking toilet paper,soap,towels. Think about all the nice things you have and how lucky you are next time you want something and think about these family's who don't get the things we do In America.

How does the industrial revolution affect working conditions today?
The industrial revolution affected working conditions today because now we have new machines to help us get production done faster. Not only did it replace manual working it also made many people loose there jobs because machines took over there place.
What solutions/alternatives are there to sweatshops?
To solve the problem of sweat shops we could find people who want to work I. The United States with at least minimum wage of $7.25. If that's not possible at least raise the wages enough for those people who are working in sweatshops now to be able to live on there paychecks.
What did I lean?
Honestly I learned that all of us who have family's that can pay bills,keep a roof over your head,and feed us need to be happy. Some people don't have enough to have all the nice things that we do.

As a American consumer, are you more concerned with how the products y out buy are made?
Considering that we can't really do anything yes and no. I can't really doing anything about it so it's leading me to the no side. These brands could at least try something else which concerns me
