Is it acceptable to buy goods manufactured in countries that violate human rights? Why or why not? Would you participate in a boycott against a company that does business with a repressive government? Why or why not

It is not okay to buy products and support countries that violate human rights and use forced human labor or sweat shops. Places that do this are often cruel and have bad working conditions. In countries like america we have laws and regulations that prevent bad and unsafe conditions and it's there for a reason - people do not deserve to be forced to work in awful conditions under terrible circumstances. I would participate in a boycott, and I check brand names to make sure the products I buy are not from forced labor. The violation of human rights it a crime against humanity and through the refusal to buy products of this labor, we could some day bring the numbers of forced labor down significantly. by cutting off their money incoming from this process, they couldn't continue if all they do is lose money. Boycotts against these countries and products sends a good message about how awful forced labor is, and exactly why it is important that we check how our products are made.
