Question

The issue of sweatshops is deeply controversial. sachs argues that despite their (significant) problems, sweatshops are the first rung on the ladder out of extreme poverty. do you agree or disagree with his position? explain.

Answer 1

I agree with Sach's position that sweat shops are actually the first rung on the ladder of people who are experiencing extreme poverty. This is because sweat shops offer an avenue for people who can use their physical skills to build or create products. Aside from this, the pay is very much small but it can still provide enough for the daily needs of the people who are working in such environments. 

The government should find the right regulations to ban such practice because it is a direct human rights violations where people are exposed to extreme environments with very little hazard concerns. 

In a society that needs educated individuals, sweat shops offer no such standards, thus people who are in poverty result to such practices.
