Waiting on the World to Change.

When I asked a family member what they would do if their children were working in a factory? They said they would rather work than have their children risk their lives and work. Being treated with such violence and discrimination as a child can harm your personality and will stay with you for the rest of your life. Children who have been working since they were about six do not lead happy lives. They will never forget the experience, which shaped their life and changed it to the worse. 

A question I would like to answer is: "In the society we live in today, how would some people react to Child Labor if they saw someone under the age of ten working?"

As mentioned before, a family member said they would rather work than have their children work. Many people reacted to this question by saying that it is better to have adults work in factories than have young inexperienced, innocent children work as slaves. When adults work in factories, it is more accepted because they are not considered slaves but are workers who are respected and looked at as citizens of a certain community. When young children work, they are looked at as slaves who do not mean as much as adults do. Children who have no future because they work instead of go to school. Children who are uneducated and will always be failures in life. The most heartbreaking part is that the children working will only get enough money to support their families and not enough to pay for an education. Non-profit organizations will never be able to free all the children working and being exploited. The organizations will definitely make a difference, but they need us, the people, to help influence the rest of the world.
