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.

Migrant Labor - 1 views

  •  
    This article is directed towards illegal immigrants having a say in their own labor rights. The fear of getting arrested or deported by their employer contains them from having any say on the unequal treatment. The ILRF(International Labor Rights Forum) is working towards having a protected environment with equal rights in the workplace for them, as well as non-temporary employment.

    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.

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.

U.S. Dead Last Among Developed Countries When It Comes To Paid Maternity Leave - 0 views

  •  
    According to the International Labor Organizations, the United States is one of only two countries that do not guarantee paid leave for new mothers. This is surprising as we live in a country with such great freedoms, yet so many new mothers are forced to choose between earning an income and caring for their new baby. While there are many corporations who are beginning to offer this benefit (as well as paternity leave), the organizations in our country, as a whole, are not making this a priority.

    As a general rule employers are allowed to choose not not hire a candidate if in there pre-screening they screen for such toxins as nicotine. The employer has the right to choose who they hire but in most cases can not fire you for later becoming a smoker. American Civil Rights activists continue to argue that this can be and is a potential discrimination issue.

Contemporary Slavery - 3 views

  •  
    Slavery in its most well-known form has been abolished, but contemporary slavery (including forced labor, domestic servitude, and sexual slavery) lives on throughout the world. The majority of people who suffer from contemporary slavery are of the poorest and most vulnerable groups within our society.
  •  
    There is a clear definition of slavery. It is a bit disconcerting to see slavery characterized and "contemporary" or "traditional". This type of demarkation implies one is better than the other. It may lead a listener or reader to ascertain there is a softer less denigrating type of slavery. Does anyone really believe this? Slavery in all forms should be ended. Period.

What is Happening to Females in Afghanistan? - 2 views

  •  
    The IRC (International Rescue Committee) is seriously concerned about females rights in Afghanistan. Females should be able to work, go to school, and move freely. As of August 2021, the response plan funding for women and girls has drastically diminished making them more prone to violence, child labor, and forced marriages. Since international support has slowly been fading away, almost 1 million children will miss out on education.
  •  
    Despite the article referring to women and young girls distinctly why choose to rename your bookmark and pointedly refer to them as females rather than as the article intends? Your article covers rather dehumanizing issues so it strikes me as odd that out of all this your choice was to choose a word you could apply to any non human mammal rather than the women of Afghanistan. Did you not think that the article used the language "women and girls" for the reason of both humanization and to clarify that perhaps the rights of a female mammal weren't at stake here but the human population that happens to be female?
