Writing Feedback / Child Labor in the World - children are not anyone's property. [8]

Please rate out of 10 and why:

Child Labor in the World:

Mikhail Bakunin once said that "Children do not constitute anyones property: they are neither the property of their parents, nor of the society. They belong only to their own future freedom."

His quote was relating to child labor, a growing problem in the world's society.
A couple of months ago I visited India for my uncle's marriage. While driving to my uncle's house we stopped by at a local restaurant for a bite to eat. There I got my firsthand experience of the horrors of child labor. Children there looked about five to eight years of age, and they worked very hard serving tea, cleaning tables, and taking orders. Once, a child accidentally dropped a glass, and his the store manager got very mad. He started yelling at the children and created a hubbub in the store.

This wasn't the only experience I had with child labor in India. Children worked as servants, waiters, and did other jobs in harsh conditions. I felt sorry for these children, who were being deprived of their childhood.

Coincidentally, when I returned to school my teacher had started the chapter on the Industrial Revolution, where children worked in dangerous conditions in factories and sweatshops, often coming home injured or hurt. I also found out that companies like Nike, Coca-Cola, and Hanes also use child labor produce some of its products.

The rate of child-labor in the world is increasing daily, especially in poverty-stricken countries like South Africa, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Many laws are being passed to prevent child labor today. The United Nations Children's Fund makes laws every day to prevent the spreading of child labor in the world today. However, it is our job to push for more laws to eliminate child labor in the world today.
