Summary
====The topic this news article covers is companies that don’t use sweatshops labor, good companies, companies to avoid, what does “made in the USA” mean, organic products have not been produced in the sweatshops.====

====This source is very useful. It tells about how you should not support companies that use sweatshops. This is because sweatshops violate both men and women’s rights that are forced to work there. Also sweatshops do not treat people who work there correct.====

====This article is about women and their rights in sweatshops in foreign countries. Sometimes, women are lured away by strangers who tell them that they will have a better life in different foreign sweatshops. The women will most likely believe the strangers because they are treated unfairly. They face toxic chemicals, rusty machinery, or unsafe equipment. Most of the time, women are physically and mentally abused as well as sexually abused and beaten. If they try to escape from this horrible lifestyle, they will be forced to pay a fine or be returned to the inhumane treatment. Inhumane treatment, is a cruel act; a deliberate infliction of pain and suffering.==== ====“Sweatshops”, is a very useful source for someone who needs to look up a topic on foreign sweatshops and women’s rights. This article explains the process and what can happen to a woman/women if she disobeys her master or whoever is in charge of her while working. This source is bias. It’s bias because the person who wrote this article gave a negative view on the rights of women and what can happen to them.====
