Relevant readings for this essay question include Ahmned's "Rise of Bangladesh garment industry..."; Greenhouse and Barbare's "An ugly side of free trade..."; and Powell's "It's China's world" This is a thought question for you to consider as you think about what you have learned over the semester. We spent time on the last class period dealing with this issue. How could you bring in other information from the units on imperialism, industrialism, and others to help answer the question. The course instructor will grade the answer not on some basis of right or wrong, but instead with how you organize your argument and cite information to support your answer.
