Child Labor in China - 1 views

  •  
    This article discusses the issue of child labor in China. Clearly, there are many reasons for the seeming necessity of child labor such as poverty, or lack of resources, but it is still remains a problem that has yet to be entirely resolved.
  •  
    This is such a sad topic to talk about but needed to be done. Those kids are taken advantage of to the max.
  •  
    I am glad you decided to share this issue regarding child labor. I noticed this article was posted 3 years ago, I wonder how much that number (11 million) has gone up since then. I like how this person provided us insight into how exactly child labor exists. This is definitely an issue that needs to be stopped.

    This article provides a great amount of detail that is associated with child labor and what is needed to have the world free of child labor. Out of all the suggestions provided by the authur, "unified global action" was the one that stood out to me the most.
  •  
    It sadden me to see that some children have it worse then others. Myself as a college student and working gets overwhelming, I couldn't imagine how children younger feel.
  •  
    I believe child labor is a form of abuse. If a child is not old enough to have the mental capacity to be working, it is not fair. It is also dangerous to allow children to do many kinds of work.

Developmental Effects of Child Labor - 1 views

  •  
    Child labor has enduring negative effects on children. Child labor results in the lack of cognitive ability, depression, poor health and lack of social development. Child labor retards a child's overall development in nearly every aspect of life.
  •  
    I also did an article about child labor and it is very heartbreaking to see what these children go through. It doesn't just keep them from going to school, but it also affects them mentally in the long run. They don't even have a childhood, just skip straight to adult responsibilities with very little knowledge of life.

  •  
    The history of the child labor in US. The bad side of the child labor in the early decades of the twentieth century, and the indentured servitude and child slavery. the article also shows the way people get over it, and how it was collapsed.
  •  
    Of the many mistakes and harsh realities that have existed over the course of American history, I think this is definitely one of the most saddening. From the innocent deaths in the coal mines to the risky machinery work of the rising industrial era, the well being of employed children was vastly disregarded.

Children's Rights - 1 views

  •  
    Even though child labor laws were passed decades ago prohibiting employment of underage youngsters, pockets of oppressive child labor exist, literally, on American soil; child farm laborers work long hours in squalid conditions and often receive half the standard minimum wage.
  •  
    This is a very strong topic. Mostly because children can't really speak up, and we are the ones that need to do it for them. You're childhood should be something you enjoy and not have to struggle through. And the fact that they are always taken advantage of, with low wages and horrible working conditions, makes it an extreme priority in social justice issues.

Child Labor Discussion - 1 views

  •  
    This article gives an overview of child labor laws, historical background, and why this topic is one that is not easy to solve. For families who struggle to make ends meet, it is necessary to have everyone contribute. However, this keeps the children from being able to focus on education and have an opportunity to socialize and grow, possibly ending the cycle for that family of never being able to get ahead.
