"The shoes don't make the man, the child in the sweat shop makes the shoes." -Do you know what you are funding?
This phrase is a remix of something that people say, you know “the clothes don’t make the man, the man makes the clothes”, but truthfully, "the man" doesn't make the clothes "the man" outsources and pay oversea factories who uses abuse such as rape to prevent protesting and use horrible working conditions to keep costs low. These companies, such as Nike, claims that the conditions of the factories are not their responsibility, yet at the first sign of protests for higher wages or better working conditions, they pack up and find a new area where they can exploit new people for the same low price. If you’re gonna wear it, at least know where it comes from.
