While researching information about sweatshops in the United States I discovered that there is a numerous amount of information about this topic. I had to research the broad topic of sweatshops first and then narrow it down to the abuse of child labor laws in order to get specific information about what I am researching. Despite this being a very broad topic, the abuse of child labor laws, by narrowing down my key words it gave me several different aspects about this specific topic.
The different aspects that I found about my research topic is that they sorted it into several different case studies that were constructed, while others was just information about laws from the field of criminal justice. The criminal justice law field was very beneficial because it helped to get some more insight about the severity of the sweatshop situation that is becoming an increasing issue. This insight also helped to narrow my search even more now that I have a better understanding of the depth of my research topic.
With this new amount of information that I have gained, it allows me to open my eyes and realize just how much of an issue this has become over the years. Also, that with the existence of the sweatshop industry the abuse of child labor will continue to grow because the young are benefited with a very low paying job while the sweatshop industry will continue to earn money as long as they have workers are in desperate need of an annual income and have no other options open to them.
These sound like great methods for narrowing down your topic. I'm glad your search terms worked so well for you.
