[CRC] Child Labor

Today in the CRC machinima camp, we learned all about child labor. First we read an article and brainstormed about what it would take to make a machinima based on it. After that little warm up activity we went back inside and thought about big brand name clothing companies and looked at our real life clothes and realized that almost all of them outsourced, and may even be hiring children in sweatshops! This is horrible! For the next activity, we went outside and pretended to be in a sweatshop building dollhouses. We had to build as many doll houses from scratch as possible in the limited amount of time we had. And we had to do all this with the instructor being cruel factory managers. Although I have to admit I wasn't very intimidated by them demanding in all caps. biggrin.gif Well, over all the day was really interesting and I really enjoyed learning about child labor. It is a very important topic to be aware of and understand!
