Because there is an immense amount of information on the internet to be discovered and I am interested in finding out more about working conditions in foreign countries.
2. What question do you want to answer?
Why are working conditions/hours/pay the way they are in certain areas of the world and why is their labor so much cheaper than labor in the U.S.? (easily accessible employees?)
3. Why this question rather than any other?
Because this is the common question that will appear in the mind of the reader and is something of popular discussion.
4. What do you need to learn in order to answer that question?
I need to study specific areas (perhaps the Chinese) to understand why working conditions are socially unacceptable. I need to learn about the pay, what the conditions are actually like, the lifestyle of the employees and how they survive on such little pay
5. What kinds of experts do you need to read from in order to develop a fully complete answer to this question? Where do these experts study? In what academic fields do these experts work? What do these experts research?
- Experts could potentially be people that have worked in factories in their life and experienced these poor conditions first hand. Experts may also include people who have studied foreign work environments for extended periods of time.
- These experts research what life is like for employees that endure these conditions (mostly the clothing industry) and how their labor is different than ours and why they agree to work in terrible environments.
- Experts could study at universities as well overseas to visit a "sweatshop" first hand and view what actually happens.
- Academic field may be social relations/peace corps
