Mr Futbol Fred

Find TWO current media topics which you consider to be social justice or moral issues. Then using your eduBlog Page, under the category CST/IST - Project 5, answer the following questions for each media topic.

1. Name the issue

Unfair workplaces

2. Describe one media account of this issue

Nike is a company that manufactures footwear and other sporting goods. It has its headquarters in the US but itts factories are located in other countries. The Nike Corporation does not actually make shoes. It designs and markets them. The manufacturing is contracted out to suppliers in Asia ( such as Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia). The workers are paid very low wages and work in relatively poor conditions- often referred to as sweatshops.

My old geography book

4. Is this media account correct or reliable? Why?

I believe it is reliable because if it wasnt i dont think they would teach it to millions of students.
