*This is a great idea, except that you might want to hand out cards to certain people telling them they need to do this, because after working on this project all semester together (I know my group) would not be willing to split up easily! But I really like this idea.

In order to make the World Sim more realistic (and applicable to today's post-colonial problems), I suggest adding rules to allow colonizers to import and export people as well as goods. This would allow for the creation of multi-national states after decolonization, and even create the possibility of internal conflict (by far the most common form of conflict in the world today). Further, adding rules to allow for independence movements will realistically simulate the challenges of post-colonial governance. So far, the World Sim has been a system-level simulation. By expanding its scope to include regional-level situations, it will better simulate current global conditions.

What are we doing to help?

Just another example of the global problem of child prostitution.

This article shows an example of one solution to end hunger for those living in poverty, but the supplies is not reaching those who need it, so we need to rethink this method!

This is the image of poverty and child labor most commonly thought of.

This article is basically just one of the ways The United States of America is trying to end the labor of child prostitution.

Children are more susceptible to injury or death on the job than adults. (which is the same in physical abuse.)

This article highlights the concerns people have for the environment and type of work that young citizens do.

This is a perfect example of how child labor has become a global problem of itself.

This website gives well rounded definitions of many different forms of child abuse, including the statement that "illegal" child labor is a form of child abuse.

I hope that after watching this video and seeing just a few minor bruises that children recieve while being abused.  This just breaks my heart to see!

This is a great little video with accurate facts and ways that each individual in this world can help to stop abuse.  Your can research these foundations, and if you wish to contact them to make a contribution.

Child Labor is a form of child abuse, it can cause physical and/or mental harm to the child!

I know that before this class whenever I thought of child labor the only thing that came to mind was India, and sweat shops!  I like many others never took into consideration any other kind of labor.  So felt compeeled to do a little bit of reading on child labor in India, so that I could personally relate it to other places in the world!

Honestly, I really just liked this blog, it's a neat one!

This poses a wonderful question!  Except many children feel that cleaning their room disrupts their childhood.  How far should a definition be allowed to go?

I really agree with the website's definition of child labor.  This is what I personally believe child labor is!  There are some many additives today that make the simple definition so needlessly complicated!

This website is awesome, check it out, and look around to find all sorts of nifty research on children worldwide!
