Topic 1
Over the past several weeks, we have been working out of the "Apparel Merchandising and Social Responsibility" unit of Academic Universe. A helpful way to think about these essays is that they are arguments of problem and solution. The problem is unfair labor practices, specifically sweat shops and child labor. The solution is the Fair Trade movement. You've read essays that address unfair labor as a crime of humanity, as a necessary evil, and even as a beneficial first step toward development. You've also read articles that address the Fair Trade movement as a cultural and economic revolution, and as a naive non-solution.
Using these arguments as support for your own opinions, compose a post that argues whether or not your group sees Fair Trade as a solution to the problems involving unfair labor practices. Support your view point. You may also do some fast interbet research to find websites or videos that support or inform your view.
Topic 2
Last class, we discussed the importance of being a critical consumer of internet sources. Write a blog that assumes internet initiates as an audience explaining the importance of critical literacy of websites and give some guidelines for evaluating internet sources. Just as we looked at websites about the same topic in class to determine the reliability of these sites, you may find and link to examples explaining which site is more reliable and why.
