“Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty, you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time” (Grace Abbott).

The Socratic Seminar on Friday mainly discusses how tone has a large impact on the reader’s understanding of an essay or piece of writing. One point that Juliana makes is that tone depends on the type of writing. For example, in creative and narrative writing, when an individual is writing about their experience or understanding, the tone of the essay would be more subjective. More specifically, the genre of this essay would determine the type of tone that the author establishes. In the text, “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, the tone of the story is hopeful and positive.
This next document shows the negative side of children working in the factories "This shows the ugly side of child labor, Lack of safety features/unsafe working conditions, the children working are very young they are obviously not in school/lack of education” (Document8). In this document they talk about how children working in these factories don’t get a good education, they do not have enough time to attend school. It also shows how they are very easily injured from working in these harsh conditions. Not only was there unequal pay for women, boys, and girls, but there was
During the Socratic Seminar, I actively listened to the claims being said and gave my input when I felt I had enough evidence to support an argument that I felt should be put out there. I also had my study guides, the two journals, “Dover Beach” poem and TP-CASTT, Fahrenheit 451 book, “Where Is Our Dover Beach?” article, and a paper with quotes and facts I gathered that related to the two topics. I used these resources throughout the seminar as references and evidence. An example of this was when I gave my claim that fitting into society can seem like a form of happiness but is not. To support this claim, I used the quote from Fahrenheit 451: “‘You took all the pills in your bottle last night.’
How have sweatshops benefitted society or caused harm to it? This research paper will identify and analyse the significance of sweatshops, reasons for its prevalence and compare its positive and negative impacts on society. Literature review A sweatshop is a term for a workplace that violates local or international labour laws, such as providing workers with atrocious working conditions and minimal compensation (New World Encyclopedia, 2008).
Around 215 million children work against their will today, many of which work full time (World Day against Child Labor, n.d). Since they work such long hours, many of the children do not receive proper nutrition, care, or play time, are denied an education, and suffer horrendous forms of forced labor (World Day against Child Labor, n.d.). The worst countries for child labor are almost all third world countries, so the children work for very little or no pay, which does not enhance their families dire income either (The 10 Worst Countries for Child Labor, Hunt K. 2013). Not only do they work without pay, their work conditions are filthy, unsanitary, and dirty, which could lead to sickness and an overall unhealthy

The proceeding essay will take on the cause and effects as well as a few pros and cons of sweatshops in the United States regarding the beginning of sweatshops and the effects on people involved.

With physical and sexual abuse very common among the victims, the children that are being exploited are damaged both physically and mentally. Physical abuse among the children has led to many cases of suicide (Batstone, 2009). Since the children that are being trafficked are still in their developmental stage, they can be easily deceived by the aspect of earning money for easy labor, when in reality, they are not paid anything but forced to work in hazardous
The Problems and Psychological Issues Correlated with Child Labor Laws Child labor has been an extremely tough concept and problem for many years. This issue affect thousands of children in other countries, especially third world countries. Many children are often forced to choose working in sweatshops over going to school. This is what mainly causes the lack of education given to children in other countries. The children who are allowed to attend school are stressed with the overwhelming schedule.
Child abuse is a worldwide problem. Due to the necessity of economic growth, it affects a lot of the developing countries more than others. Child labor is an existing problem that needs regulation. Thanks to the International Labor Organization (ILO) which led to the global commitment to eliminate the worst forms of child labor, so that all the incidents that has been happening in factories, farms, fishing and mines with children can be supervised and make sure works are carried under the laws. Child abuse has become a well talk topic in the developed countries against the developing countries, using it as means of well economic standards.
The film “The True Cost” directed by Andrew Morgan, goes into great detail on the global world of fast fashion, and how it affects the global apparel industry. The countries in which the clothes are produced, there are significant issues with labour regulations, all to accommodate North America’s demand for fast fashion consumerism. The global North consumers demand for fast fashion have effects globally, leaving workers underpaid and exploited. Through management methods and outsourcing, firms search for the lowest costs for the consumer, without concern about the consequences for workers. Relocating the garment industry to the global South can arguably be the downfall of workers as they are sacrificing their lives for their job.
Pros #1 Child labor is very important towards poor families who need extra help bringing food and money in the house. Most children under the age of ten start working in order to help bring in a decent amount of money in order to help their parents and siblings survive. Children are not incompetent; most realize when their parents are struggling to make ends meat, they try to help out as much as they can and most decided that, even though they are young, they have to start doing more therefore most decide to start working. The jobs they receive often don’t pay much so in order to have higher pay most children work for hours on end in order to bring in more money especially if they come from extremely poor families. “Victor chapani started working when he was 10- a few hours a day- rounding up passengers minibuses in his impoverished city of El Alto, Bolivia... earning less than a dollar an hour… “United,” he says, sounding like a seasoned adult laborite, “we as child workers can achieve anything.”
