SHOULD SWEATSHOPS BE BOYCOTTED? THE BIAS OF COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGNS OF ACTIVISTS
Abstract
The paper aims to bring a new perspective to the public opinion about garment factories in third world countries, known as sweatshops. This is a reaction to the highly publicized anti-sweatshop campaigns. We try to answer to the question: are sweatshops a reason for poverty or a sign that the countries who host them are on the right path towards economic progress?
