SAMPLE PARAGRAPH (copy and paste this paragraph into Turnitin)
The cost of clothing is a concern for most American families. In an article for Newsweek’s parenting column, Springen (2008) offered this advice to parents tackling back-to-school shopping: “Steer your kids towards affordable stores like Old Navy and H&M, but don’t force them to buy knockoffs. These days, even preschoolers can spot a pair of fake Ugg boots . . . and may taunt classmates about them” (para. 1). This advice appears sound and sincere. However, such common wisdom hides the uncomfortable reality that most westerners are more concerned with getting a bargain than with the darker side of mass-consumer fashion. Attachment to cheap, disposable clothing, commonly known as fast fashion, is supporting a corrupt labor system, unsustainable production practices, and a culture of mindless consumerism. While the issue is complex, western consumers can contribute to a culture of change by revisiting some of their preconceived notions about frugality.
