In Human Geography class today, we talked about Nike again,
and the sweatshops. We didn’t continue our work on the power points which was
kind of disappointing because my group didn’t finish. We talked about how
outrageous the prices of shoes can be. I think if a shoe is over $200 it seems
a little outrageous. It seems ridiculous to spend all that money on a pair of
shoes. I feel like people who are wealthy just buy the shoes to flaunt their
wealth. I personally think that is wrong. Think about all the people in
Indonesia working at the sweatshops, making next to nothing. Someone in great
poverty made those shoes, and only got paid about $2. I know I am guilty of
buying Nike shoes, but now that we have talked about this in class it has
really made me think about other people in the world.
