Don't Buy Nike

   The argument being made is that "Nike" is being accused with using sweatshops in Indonesia. they pay the workers minimum wage , which is 1.25 a day that covers the basic needs , but if they seek hygiene products. They would have to go hungry, if they want those products. The type of evidence they give in this article is that the workers have endured physical abuse which consists of kicking, slapping, and being made stand under the hot sun for  making a mistake at work. Personally, i think that even the idea of using sweatshops is revolting and only people that are filled with greed would use them. Another reason why i believe this article is because many of the workers in Indonesia joined a union to defend the workers , but sadly were rejected and robbed from their rights.


   The argument being made in the poem is that the workers just work and work. They act as though they were machines. The way the article shows their evidence is that they present the workers feelings .
The difference between the poem and the article is that in the article you can just read the facts but you don't really come in contact with the feeling but in the poem you can actually feel  the pain that they feel.
