Made in L.A Part 1

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?
It's the same because they both have to work hard and the factories don't ask for papers. The difference is that they don't work 15 hours like they do in indonesia, in L.A they work 12 hours. Another difference is that they work ironing, making, and things dealing with clothing unlike in indonesia they work with sneakers. Sometimes in L.a they would have to take their work home but in Indonesia they work in factories. Unlike, in Indonesia the L.A workers are able to spend time with their children or even see them because most of the workers are working at home.

2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at Mcdonalds?

Immigrants end up working at sweatshops because they come to the United States from their country without llegal papers and these papers state that they can be able to be a U.S citizen. But, since they don't have these papers they aren't able to work as lawyers or even in places such as McDonalds because these careers require papers and sweatshops don't. In other words the only option they have if they want to make money is by working at sweatshops.

3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie

I predict that in the end of movie everything is going to stay the way it is and that the sweatshop workers are not going to win their lawsuit against forever 21, because if united states citizens aren't heard when they protest what makes you think immigrants are going to be, if they aren't even treated as everyone else. And i believe this because money speaks louder then words or action, and forever 21 has that money and expensive lawyers.
