At first I think "wow, what a price for those jeans!" Then I watch the documentary 'China blue', and then I think "wow, what a price for those jeans".
In theory, I absolutely agree; however, in reality I disagree unless you can show some data that indicates money being spent this way is more ethical than inhibition. Considering the competition for apparel, ample supply of workers, and what actually goes on in factories, if I have the option I will buy from a place that is more likely to uphold human rights.
If you would like a glimpse into my position and haven't already watched the PBS documentary China Blue, I recommend it.
