How many slaves work for you?

[sg1008]

I got 17, although as others have said, it's very unlikely to be accurate )whther I estimated too low or two high, or details about each thing)

I found it interesting though, and for the people complaining about it not being accurate etc - i'm sure it's mainly about raising awareness and getting you to THINK about what you buy/use. Not about being a technically correct analyisis

Then it should be called, 'How many slaves could possibly work for you?', raising awareness with technically incorrect analysis and all.

I really don't think the NUMBER of slaves was the point. I think the point is raise awareness about the prevelance of slavery int he production of items ppl use everyday or might take for granted. For those of you who actually finished the survey, you would have found a map of areas where slavery is prevalent, what items typically come from there. The point of the site was to personalize your link with slave labour used to manufacture, or extract materials, because we tend to feel removed from such things. Hence why they had the little chain-links showing how you connect to enslaved people.

And I didn't feel it was guilt tripping at all. I was genuinely interested in the prevalence of slaves and they provided good, easy to read information for further research.

Of course there is slavery. It's just that it isn't called slavery officially and that most of the slaves (but not all) are "free" to starve to death instead of being slaves.

Exactly. That was the point of it. Not so people could find out exactly what number of slaves they're benefiting from. That would be impossible, obviously.

All sites and campaigns need a catchy name. "How many slaves work for you?" is designed to get people to click on it

The questions are designed to get people to THINK ABOUT all the different products they use that might derive from forced labour etc

THe results aren't really what it's about

Many awareness-raisning campaigns use stuff like this. It's not unusual and it's not about giving you a precise number. I think it also made that clear throughout the test and at the end (it said plenty of times that they were working on assumptions, and gave you the option to make it more specific)

It's about getting the attention of people who wouldn't necessarily have clicked on a link and read through an article about it

I don't see what the fuss is all about (the fuss about it not being correct I mean, not the fuss about slavery lol)

Damn spazzes can't even enjoy a silly survey with silly results, without debating the motive of the survey maker.

I hate shopping for clothes, rates right up there with having a root canal for me.

Did anyone find the site the least bit interesting?

It was far too controlling, right from the start. It felt like what it is, a propaganda site.

It's not very personal if they get their facts wrong. It's just annoying.

If you want my attention, focus on the facts. It's one thing focussing on assumptions and another to lie. They have obviously put some effort into the site but it feels as if their main focus was on design, not to get their numbers right.

Unfortunately the same is true for many other awareness sites.

That's just wrong. We have a whole subforum full of silly surveys people take without debate.

That's probably the true motive of the survey maker.

Yes. This thread is simply misplaced.

I am ashamed to post my results. 

I think it was a good post SG.

But it got your attention anyway.  Enough of it to be discussing it now.
