As first-year students continue to investigate how sugar changed the world, the focus shifts to a consideration of why people with limited job options take on dangerous or subjugating work. Class members read an opinion piece by Nicholas D. Kristof and analyze the evidence he uses to support his argument in defense of sweatshops.
