Mission statement: The whole point of this Child Labour in China blog is to share some information and make people snap into reality of what is really going on in the world, using my perspective. I hope that when you read this blog, you learn lots, and hopefully you change you point of view on the world and want to become someone willing to help the children in China. Stopping child labour in China isn't something that's going to happen overnight, especially when there's very few people willing to help, also because you guys don't realize how big a problem child labour really is! To start off, child labour is a humongous problem worldwide, affecting millions and millions of children, and taking their valuable little lives away. You only get to be a child once. How would you like it if you couldn't go and hang with any friends, or go to school to get the education you deserve, because you have to go cut sugar cane with very sharp spears all day? Not fun. My goal after this blog to to better educate all my viewers, and hopefully give you guys that extra "push" you needed to get going on the path to help all the poor, unhealthy, and restless children in China. No one really and truly understands what the children in China go through every single day, except for them. I am willing to do a lot to help them, and I hope by the end of this you are too. It's not fair at all that right from when you're born up until you reach adulthood that your child life is wasted. They can't even go to school because they are working and making clothing and cutting down plants at age five. I really hope you learn something valuable from this, and it opens new doors making you realize that work/labour is no place for children, however school is. So, let's work together and make child labour in China STOP!
Great post, Caeleigh! I agree with what you wrote about how child labor is not going to end by thinking about it. We, as a society, need to take real action. Your topic is one that is known all over the world, and has been for decades. So, why, as people who know there are issues, have we not made true actions to stop them?! You really showed your perspective, and made me think about mine when you asked how someone would feel if they were in the place of a child being victim of child labor. I can't wait to read the rest of your blog, and hear about your opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree Sherra. I loved how Caeleigh was abrupt, yet effective on getting to the point that we have to take action. I don't get how even though we know this topic as one of the world's biggest issue, we don't seem to be motivated enough to do anything! Putting ourselves in their shoes also put things in perspective for me, Sherra. You made some really good points!
