Our Kicks
I love sports, I love sneakers all kinds of sneakers. I know I'm not the only one, almost everyone at school owns a pair or two. Just like the film Mardi Gras Made in China we have a simular situation. Sneaker sweat shop workers, in foreign countries make very little money and work in horrible conditions. This is just another way we are connected to the issues seen in the Mardi Gras film and in the book Love and Gold.

Work
This song by reggae artist Barrington Levy, sings about the importance of work. He tell that everyone should have a job and work hard at it. He speaks to the youth telling them, that being idle and not doing anything with their live will have consequences. There is a verse that says " need to have some ambition keep your spirit alive, don't go making excuses just get out there and try." Sometimes I just dont feel like working, this some encourages me and let me know that the results of work are sweet. Check it out
