Are... are you a politician?
So if the alternative to a sweatshop is homelessness and starvation that's better? How does that help people "see past [their] present situation"? What does that even mean?
Have you even been to China? Unless you have family or friends to support you the only alternative to employment is starvation or crime.
I fail to understand how making someone unemployed will do anything BUT keep costs down(among other things).
For some reason people think sweatshops are an awful thing, compared to working for MicroSoft sure.
Look at Victorian Britain. Yes they had sweatshops filled with women and children, who without the work would have starved(to death). Never mind the affordable goods that those factories produced.

Is this something individual workers can fix? No, maybe not, but as long as people collectively put up with sweat shops, companies who wish to treat workers better have a huge uphill battle to compete with the low overhead. Things can't get better till the practice is halted.
