Made In L.A part 3.

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?
A: I wouldn't even hesitate to not let the sweatshop workers become u.s. citizens. The reason is because they are exactly like u.s. citizens. citizens do to get their jobs is work hard and that is what the sweatshop workers are doing as you can see. Also the only difference between us and the sweatshop workers are that some don't speak English and that they are not from America.

2. Describe a moment from 1,2, or 3 of this movie you found particularly memorable? Why?
A: Honestly the most memorable part of the Made in L.A was the 3rd one when i was listening to the lady who was saying that she came to L.A in a back of a truck and said that she was one of the lucky people. The reason is because others usually lose a body part or die or get killed, so even after all that complaining inside she is still grateful to be alive and be with her kids.

3. By the end of part 3, the protester seem to be giving up hope. If you were able to speak to the group, what would you say to inspire them to keep going?
A: I think if I was to able to speak to the group, i would say to of course not to give up hope because one day someone is going to help them speak to Forever 21 and one day Forever 21 IS going to listening and will think the reason they are protesting is reasonable reasons. So if they were to stop now they will not be heard anymore and forever 21 is going to just forget about how important the sweatshop workers are and if they were to all quit working at the sweatshop Forever 21 would be nothing ! ( not saying they should quit)

SWEATSHOPS in LA.

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?
Answer: it is the same because they are still getting paid less than others, and is still struggling through life. It is different because they get paid more which means they are able to get a house and no be living around their own poop like how people in Indonesia does. Also there are people who are helping the people in LA get paid more and get less hours.

2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don't they work as lawyers, doctors, or at McDonalds ?
Answer: The reason is because they need green cards and citzens cards (or something like that) , but in sweatshops they don't need experience or any of that.

3. Predict what is going to happen in the end of the movie?
Answer: i think it is going to be the same, just them working as hard as they can just to get by, but my hopes are that they get paid more and work less hours so they can see their kids and stuff.
