Details:

One country you consider expanding into routinely employs children as young as 6 years old and often pays workers a salary of $1 a day.

AGAINST argument: Would you be against expanding into this country? Why? How is refraining from expanding into this country a wise business decision? Choose a position, and discuss your answer:
