Nike

today we watched a 20 minute long video about how Nike is abusing Indonesia and making the workers work for $1.50 a day and in horrible conditions.  I know this because a guy named Jim Keady went to Indonesia and lived off of the wages that the Nike workers are living off of and he lost 25 lbs. in one month, which I think is ridiculous, because he is a very athletic parson, being amazing at soccer and all; Jim bought a cheap razor and the smallest shaving cream at the store, and he didn't eat for the rest of the day.  The girl he went with, Leslie, got sick off the conditions, and if Jim bought medicine, then he would not eat for the rest of the day, but he bought the medicine anyway, because she was sick and she  needed it.  After we watched the video, we went back to our groups and did more research, then we left class.
