    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.

    Child labor was a huge issue back in the day, and was forgotten. Recently, child labor has risen to be an issue again. Especially with all of the new electronic companies lately.

National holidays are more than just a day off | Opinion | laloyolan.com - 1 views

  •  
    This article explains how us as American do not look into the true meaning of a holiday and what it is supposed to entail. Labor Day,for example is "a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country." This article urges us to have more thoughtful conversations about where ur holidays are actually coming from.

    This article got me thinking about what the holidays to me truly mean. I know the basics of the holidays I celebrate but I do agree that myself and others need to spend the extra minute to google what these holidays truly mean.

    This is a topic not talked about often but I have witnessed some bullying from other coworkers multiple times. It's not something just seen on the playground, and it should have more attention drawn to it!
  •  
    It's wonderful that people are finally starting to speak up about this issue. It's always commonly talked about among the younger generation but bullying has no age nor gender. Thanks for the link!
  •  
    I love that people are starting to speak up about bullying and realize that something needs to be done. A lot of people talk about it and see it happening, but nothing is ever done.
  •  
    It brings such joy to see people to finally speak up about bullying when often times people are either scared to or nothing is every done to prevent such a horrible issue.
  •  
    Most people think of bullying in a school environment rather than a work environment, this is a topic that people do need to be aware of and how to help prevent it in their own work place.
  •  
    Not a lot of people think that bullying happens elsewhere rather than school. Bullying can happen even in church, camps, and even at home. I hope that one day we could put a stop to this.
  •  
    I am not sure what to think about this article. Am I the only one that thinks it is a little absurd? I say absurd because it seems people are increasingly sensitive. I do not condone bullying. However, an adult should not be bullied at work. I can not think of a profession that it would actually take place. One might say well that is part of the problem. No, just because somebody can't take a joke; are they going to report a coworker to a supervisor. Too many people are too sensitive.

    Bullying can happen anywhere and we may just not realize it. Most people don't realize when someones being bullied because it's all seen as a joke.
