Moral Dilemma in Bread and Roses

In Bread and Roses, I saw a few interesting moral dilemma that are actually existent in our society. First is the issue of immigration. While, as for the rule of law, it would seem to undermine the law itself if the government did not to do anything about illegal immigration But, we also need to think about well-being of illegal immigrants at the same time as well because they are already here; they moved here because the needed to; and, perhaps more importantly, they are human beings as well.

Second is whether or not to be vocal and fight for one's own labor rights. If you were an illegal immigrant, you would be easily taken advantage of by your employer due to your legal status. Simply put, if you were hired by an employer who knows your status, you would basically be "indebted." Now, if you became vocal and criticized the employer because of exploitation the employer put you through, you could be fired automatically and you would not be able to support yourself or family anymore. It's definitely tough situation and the movie, I think, depicted it pretty well.

Third is the conflict of interests between an individual and an organization. An activist may want to go further and deeper to fight for labor rights, but if you were running a labor rights organization, you would also have to think about the well being of the organization itself to provide, systematize, and sustain your service, and secure the well being of your employees as well.

I thought these dilemmas were quite interesting so just wanted to bring them up!
