It Helps Developing Countries If We Boycott Their Cheap Goods
It is a fact that lots of electrical goods and clothes are made cheaply in the developing world and sold on the High Streets of the developed world. Should we buy these goods or boycott them? Is it better that these third world people get the pittance that big business pays them or to get nothing at all if we boycott these goods? I am really not sure.

No, it does not help developing countries if we boycott their cheap goods. It only hurts the poor people who are working like dogs trying to make a living for their families. It is unfair that these poor people have to work so hard for such little pay, but for many -- that is the only option they have in life. They depend on that low pay to feed their families. If we boycott the cheap goods, then we are putting their jobs in jeopardy and they could lose the little bit they have in life. Therefore, it does not help developing countries if we boycott their cheap goods.
