There are some good resources to introduce students to the sweat shops. However, it is missing the video that is mentioned in the lesson plan and the teacher makes inferences for the students in this lesson. For example, students discover the disadvantages and are later asked "could there be advantages?" I am not for sweat shops or anything but there are clearly economical benefits that students should be aware of because without knowing why they exist then students won't be able to "fix" them; students should be encouraged to research both sides.
