Can you identify any principles of justice which are being or
may be violated by participants in the fast-fashion industry?
What principles are violated by the corporate decision-makers?
By the employees? By the consumers?
As demonstrated in the film, some economists argue that
conditions in garment factories, bad as they may be, are better
opportunities for workers in “developing” countries than they
would have otherwise. After watching this film, do you buy this
argument? Even if the argument is true, does that mean that

3. conditions should not be improved? How are women’s rights
particularly affected?
Compare the conditions for garment workers you saw in the film
to those in factories in the U.S. in the early 20th century. How
are they similar and how are they different? Compare the
conditions for garment workers to conditions for factory
workers in the United States and other Western countries today.
What is the difference? What do you think makes conditions
better in some countries? What allowed workers in the West to
secure better working conditions, higher salaries, health
insurance, and a chance at entering the middle class?
How important is collective bargaining to workers’ rights?
When workers organized and protested the labor conditions in
the film, they were met with a fierce backlash from their
employers and state forces. Why is worker organizing and
collective bargaining so threatening to employers and
governments?
Given that labor and environmental laws are weaker in
“developing” countries, are fast fashion companies’ voluntary
codes of conduct sufficient to improve working conditions in
garment factories? If not, how can domestic and international
law be changed to make this improvement?
How can consumers affect change on this model? As experts
posit in the film, consuming more can have a negative effect on
your psyche. Can a change in your consumption habits improve
your well-being? How can it improve the well-being of others?
As consumers what can we do? With so much recognized wrong
in the world, how important are the issues raised here? Think
about a single mother with four children to feed. Should she
feel justified in shopping at Wal-Mart or elsewhere considering
her kids will grow out of the clothes in a few months? If you are

4. a university student facing student loan debt and (hopefully) an
entry-level salary, how can you make ethical fashion a part of
your lifestyle?
Honest Work
Chapter 5: Who Gets What and Why?
Fairness and Justice
First Paper Assignment
From the course site:
After reading chapter 5 and viewing the documentary The True
Cost, compose an analysis of the justice of the fast fashion
industry. Use at least two readings from chapter 5.
Restrict your analysis to a maximum of three pages (typed,
double-spaced). Aim for depth over length. Do not waste time
with unnecessary introductory or concluding formalities.
Instead, compose a succinct and penetrating analysis.
Writing for Philosophy Assignments
Generally:
Answer questions, don't ask them. The point of a philosophy
assignment is to argue for a position.
Don't use slang or colloquialisms. Also, know the meanings of
the words you use. An idea which is simply written and clear is
preferable to one which tries to use big words and fails.
Don't make big general statements you aren't prepared to
defend. "There are a lot of different theories of justice out
there." These kinds of statements are either uninformative or
indefensible (or both). Avoid ambiguous or sweeping statements
in general.
Use quotations sparingly. When you do use quotes, cite
correctly using an appropriate format.

5. Cut out the fluff. Write for impact, not length. Longer is not
necessarily better. Your reader should not have to search for the
main points of your argument. On the other hand, don’t expect
to explain complex philosophical ideas in just a few sentences.
Make sure your meaning is clear and your thoughts well
organized.
Provide strong arguments:
A philosophy assignment is not a book report. You should be
arguing for the position. Provide clear, concise, and coherent
reasons for your position. Make sure your conclusion follows
from your reasons.
Do not appeal to authority. Quotes should be used to support
your argument. Do not rely solely on religious, political, or
social bodies of belief. These may provide some evidence to
support your position, but remember not everyone will agree
these principles. Try to provide reasonable evidence by which
someone with different beliefs may be swayed. Avoid logical
fallacies.
Know your opposition. Confronting an opposing argument and
providing evidence against it can be part of an effective paper.
However, remember you are attacking positions, not people.
Philosophy is not about opinions or feelings. Philosophy is
about making arguments. The distinction may not be clear to
you at first, but it is an important distinction. Opinions are
statements that generally require no evidence. Arguments are
used to advance a position, and require supporting evidence.
“Ring of Gyges”
Plato
Glaucon argues that we do not act morally (or justly) for any
reason other than fear of punishment
He goes on to say that the perfectly unjust life might be more
satisfying than the perfectly just life

6. “Ring of Gyges”
Plato
Story of the ring meant to show (eventually) that justice is
desirable for its own sake
Justice is not a matter of reward or punishment, but whether our
souls and the state are balanced for optimal health
“On Human Exchange and Human Difference”
Adam Smith
Why does Smith believe that “self-love” is a good thing?
Why does Smith discuss the differences in people’s talents?
Why is it important that the difference in talents is not so large
as we often suppose?
“On Human Exchange and Human Difference”
Adam Smith
Self-love serves important purposes
By appeal, we can work together for mutual benefit
We share general talents necessary for human survival
In pursuing these common goals, we use our individual talents,
causing us to be of good use to one another
The highest good for all will result if each individual member of
society is allowed to pursue her or his own idea of the good
(without interfering with others), so that everyone may cultivate
the talents particular to her or him
“A Latin Viewpoint: The Bentonville Menace”

7. Latin Trade
What is the problem with Wal-Mart in Latin America?
Is economic justice more important than low prices? Should we
be shopping at Wal-Mart?
“A Latin Viewpoint: The Bentonville Menace”
Latin Trade
Counters the free market argument derived from Smith’s
position
Free markets can result in the weak being exploited by the
powerful
Some principle of social justice violated in order to deliver low
prices
“Exploitation of Need”
Joanne B. Ciulla
The existence of choice does not necessarily eliminate
exploitation
Self-enslavement: a choice to sell yourself to others in order to
avoid starvation, violence, etc.
“How much freedom and human dignity can an employed
morally justify buying because someone is willing to sell it?”
(198)
“Exploitation of Need”
Joanne B. Ciulla
Monkey Labor
Logic of exploitation used to justify taking advantage of needy
Use of power to determine wants and needs of others
Wages for time and freedom

8. Workers compensated not for the product or service, but for
time and loss of freedom
Lower-wage jobs associated with greater loss of freedom
“The idea of selling freedom often goes hand-in-hand with
selling labor, especially when a person is in desperate need of a
job and has little choice” (200)
“Justice as Fairness”
John Rawls
The initial situation and veil of ignorance
What principles of justice would we choose if we did not know
any of the following:
Place in society
Class position or social status
Natural talents, intelligence, disabilities, etc.
Psychological state or philosophical leanings
“Justice as Fairness”
John Rawls
From the original position, the majority of rational, self-
interested people would choose the following two principles:
Equal right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with
liberty for all
Inequalities should be arranged so that they are:
Reasonably expected to be to everyone’s advantage
Attached to positions and offices open to all
These principles of justice meant to compensate for the
arbitrariness of nature and the contingencies of social
circumstance
“Anarchy, State, and Utopia”
Robert Nozick
Response to Rawls’ argument for justice as fairness

9. Nozick argues for justice as entitlement
Minimal state is the most needed in order to secure justice
Anything more than a minimal state violates individual rights
Redistribution by the state is a violation of entitlement theory
Entitlement theory
Principle of justice in acquisition
Principle of justice in transfer
“Rich and Poor”
Peter Singer
Relative and absolute poverty
Relative poverty is poverty in relation to one’s neighbors
(industrialized countries)
Absolute poverty is poverty by any standards
Obligation to Assist
Drowning child thought experiment
“If it is in our power to prevent something very bad from
happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable
moral significance, we ought to do it” (216)
“A Capitalist Conception of Justice”
Irving Kristol
Kristol argues capitalism does not require the creation of a
common authority charged with redistributing wealth
A centralized power (like a government and a tax structure) not
necessary to tell us who, when, and how to help others
“Social justice” designed to be incompatible with capitalism
Capitalism has its own justice with principles such as “equal
opportunity leads to the bettering of everyone’s condition”
Human sympathy (Smith) in addition to economic
considerations

10. “Justice Ruins the Market”
Friedrich von Hayek
Argues that the attempt to impose “social justice” on a healthy
marketplace will harm both the market and those whom the
original action intended to help
In an unfettered market everyone knows the rules
“Social justice” means making rules to suit specific groups, so
everyone cannot compete equally
Individual self-interest will usually result in what is in the
general best interest, but self-interest of organized groups is not
in the general interest
“The Winner-Take-All Game”
Eduard Gracia
Example of how “market thinking” can interfere with the good
of everyone
“Hollywood-style economics”
An economy in which reputation is everything
Our economy as “Hollywood-style”
Pressure for performance as stimulating in global competitive
market, but also discounts long-term planning
Incentives for market-leaders to go after short-terms gains,
ignoring long-terms implications, and ultimately hurting
themselves in the end
Argues it is the organization’s duty to manage incentives to
create the best balance of short-terms and long-terms incentives
“Comparable Worth: A Matter of Simple Justice”
Gerald W. McEntee
Argument in defense of fairness in guaranteeing the equality of
men’s and women’s earnings.
Because the labor of men and women is of “comparable worth,”

11. they should have comparable pay
Addresses counter-arguments
Women’s more recent entry into workforce, etc.
Upset free market and require new laws
Dissimilar jobs
Costs too much
“The 1 Percent: How Lucky They Are”
Greg Breining
The richest 1% owe their fabulous wealth to chance, according
to a mathematical model by U of Minnesota
Capitalism inevitably puts wealth in the hands of a few
“If you play long enough, someone will end up with all the
money” (232).
The superrich should give a lot of their money back
Concentrated wealth to this degree violates our sense of justice
and breeds social instability
It may be bad business in the long-term
Extreme wealth is not a reward for virtue or merit, but simply
luck
