A Trip to Indonesia!

      Today in class we watched a short film about what it’s like in Indonesia and how they make our Nike socks here in America. Jim Keady, the co-director and founder of educating for justice, took a trip with his partner, Leslie Kretzu, to Tangerang, Indonesia. They said it was awful there, it was blazing hot, they had to sleep on concrete floors where rats the size of footballs would run around them during the night. The people who made the socks in the sweatshops only made a dollar twenty five a day, but the thing was they said, was that the people loved their jobs. Which is surprising because there only making a dollar twenty five each day. Then Jim Keady said that Tiger Woods makes a bunch of money for wearing some companies clothes, the Indonesians were pretty surprised by that. The whole reason for the trip of going to Indonesia was to see how they lived, and what they lived on. In the end of class once we were finished talking about Indonesia, we got back into our groups and started working on our globalization power points.
