e) How useful is this source in helping you understand the impact of Nike in DCs? Explain your answer
Content:
Source F is useful in helping me understand the negative impact of Nike in DCs as they are using child labour. (L3/3) The evidence is the young boy in the picture who seems like he is only about 12 to 14 years old sewing a Nike football in a factory in Pakistan. (L3/4)
X-ref to Background info OR Source A to say that Nike is using child labour:
Source F is useful in helping me understand the negative impact of Nike in DCs as it is reliable as it is supported by the BI. Source F states that Nike is using child labour. The evidence is the young boy in the picture who seems like he is only about 12 to 14 years old sewing a Nike football in a factory in Pakistan. This is supported by the BI as it states that Nike is accused of using child labour. The evidence is ‘they have been accused of exploiting workers and using child labour.’ (L5/6)
X-ref to Source B to refute
Source F is not useful in helping me understand the negative impact of Nike in DCs as it is unreliable as it is refuted by Source B. Source F states that Nike makes their workers work in a dirty environment. The evidence is the dusty looking floor that the young boy (sewing a Nike football) is squatting on and the scraps of rubbish in the background of the picture. This is refuted by Source B which states that Nike provides a clean working environment for its workers. The evidence is ‘Factories we visited that produce Nike goods were clean, organized, adequately ventilated and well lit. I had anticipated much worse conditions in factories in Asia where Nike shoes and apparel are produced.’
7 marks for 2 X-ref.
*Note: I made a mistake. You cannot use Source C to X-refer because Source C is talking about abusing workers using violence while Source F doesn’t show any violence..It only shows that the working conditions are dirty and that child labour is used.
You also cannot use Source D to X-refer because Source D is mainly talking about income. Source F doesn’t tell us how much the boy is paid.

Notice that I have to change the statement for F now because I have to make sure it matches the statement for B later.
