JUST DON'T DO IT

We did some more research on the down side of globalization again today.  We looked at articles about the argument over how Nike should treat their employees. One website wrote about how Nike had solved it issue. The only problem was, they didn't really solve it. Just because they gave the workers less hours doesn't mean that their lives are much better. The reason the article was saying Nike solved the issue was because they were pro-business and didn't want Nike to lose any money. What Nike needs to do is pay the workers more, give them safer work conditions, give them health benefits, and so much more. Another article we read was about how Nike was forcing the workers to work for lower salaries, by threatening them with the military.  What I don’t understand is how you can treat someone like crap, when they are human beings too.
