Boy: Why would companies do business with factories that allow dangerous working conditions? It's actually quite simple. Corporations want bigger profit margins. The cheaper the production costs, the more money they make when the product sells. And since consumers show more interest in purchasing lower-priced items than thinking about how such items are created, the pressure is on to provide inexpensive goods. The only way to do this and still make money is to make the goods at the lowest cost possible.

But there is a way to break this cycle of cheap labor and deadly working conditions. You, me, all of us as consumers must be willing to step up and take an active role in the system. We can do this in two ways. First, we can pressure companies to improve working conditions for factory workers. And second, we can pay fair prices.
