Low Wages, Strong Backs, political science homework help
Other
Thesis: “The two readings “Low Wages, Strong Backs” by Tom Meagher and “No Sweat” Rubi Garyfalakis have a similar subject, however, they have a different focus and are not equally credible”
Format:
Introduction:
- General introduction briefly describing each article (Little summary… “This article by … talks about”)
- Thesis (stated above)
Body:
- Topic sentences for each paragraph that relate back to the thesis
- Supporting evidence (examples from the articles) for every claim (topic sentence) made, (all ideas that are NOT your own must be cited)
Conclusion:
- Sums up the argument
- Can re-state thesis in other words
- Does NOT introduce new information
My three points which you are comparing and contrasting are (a paragraph needed for each with examples from both readings in each paragraph):
1) SIMILAR TOPIC/Subject. Both discuss workers are exploited
2) : FOCUS
Newspaper article (focuses on low-wage workers in N.J., USA; mostly newcomers) and the consequences
Essay (focuses on sweatshop workers in Bangladeshi; mostly women and children) and the positive effects/benefits of sweat shops
3) Not equally credible.
Newspaper: interviews, first hand observations, and stating statistics
Essay: References published research
I’ve attached the first reading “no sweat” The second reading can be found here: http://www.tommeagher.com/files/clips/templife.pdf
