The birdcage theme is definitely apparent...Tricia,<br /><br />The birdcage theme is definitely apparent for Asian women working in sweatshops. As you have mention above all the rhetoric that surrounds Asian women pushes them to feel confined to traditional roles and less valued jobs in society. I do agree with you that it is appalling that the United States and Europe endorse this labor made cheap system. I think it is extremely hypocritical of the United States to support labor made cheap when in its own land higher wages, better working conditions, etc. are demanded for while on the other hand we support labor made cheap in other countries. We have the mentality that it is okay to exploit others. I totally agree with you that we should be more aware of our consumer power and think about the roles we play in a global sense and how we can impact/change the world.Jia Zhenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326792792457689325noreply@blogger.com
