Ravisankar begins his essay by talking about how consumers are constantly emphasizing finding lower prices and that means using sweatshop labor.

To my surprise, after I turned seven years old, my parents decided to enroll me in professional tennis classes with aspirations of me becoming a professional tennis player. Likewise, many times during practices, I felt comfortable wearing my brother’s shorts because I did not like the clothes that girls were forced to wear.
