Child Labor Persuasive Speech

It is estimated that one in six of the world’s children are working in unacceptable conditions and that's about 180 million children worldwide (Kilcullen 218). That is a great deal of children that are exposed to harm or exploitation. The opposing side believes that these poor countries need child labor to survive, that it is alright to pay children low wages for the work they do, and do not believe that schooling is as important as work. By regulating child labor laws, governments would be able to enforce safer working conditions, increase wages to meet the cost of living, and mandate education for better opportunities even though the opposing side disputes these reasons and stance.

Ask anyone, anyone who keeps an eye or have an idea on human trafficking, the replies will indicate and cover the ongoing crisis that has been assuming a part in putting millions at stake. What do you people think about it? This is not surprising that you people have not taken any major initiatives given that many of the respective governments have not yet established an organized and skilled force for combating it.

In 1900 18% of all americans worked under the age of 16(child labor)! Today there is over 168 million kids working indurated to help out there family(s). This effect people because the kids would have to skip school causing them to because dumb and not helping in any way, shape , or form for our community. That’s just messed up, working children for minimum wage or even less for up to 12 hours a day, that’s not right and erroneous. In 1916, the NCLC pressured the US Congress to pass the Keating–Owen Act, which was signed into law by president Woodrow Wilson. It was the first federal child labor law.

Would you want a parent that is too young or irresponsible to take care of you, someone who abuses alcohol, drugs, legal and illegal? Nobody would, that is why every parent should have to be certified to become one. This is believed by many because it is really uncalled for to have any child be put in harm's way. Anyone can be a father or mother, but it takes a true person to be a mom or a dad.

One morning, 12-year old Craig Kielburger read in the newspaper that a boy his age had been killed for speaking out against child labor. He realized that he could have been that boy, and alerted his brother, Marc, and his classmates and friends about child labor. The brothers invested time, effort, and money to this cause by creating an organization, WE charity (we.org, Our Story). The goal was simple and direct, to help children get out of child labor, so that they can have a normal, happy childhood, and attend school. However, the Kielburger brothers soon realized that just helping kids to be able to attend school was not enough. After the children were taken out of their labor, their families did not have enough money to support themselves. As a result, children had to start working again. Craig and Marc quickly changed their goal to helping communities have easy access to fresh water, food and other necessities, so that children can go to school instead of going to fetch water, or helping to grow crops. According to their website, they also “empower people to change and improve their communities for the long term” (we.org, “Our Impact”). This means that instead of just helping a community once by taking children out of child labor, We Charity teaches members in the community how to help and support children

Florence Kelley, in her 1905 speech to the National American Woman Suffrage Association, condemns that “while we sleep,” labor practices in the United States force young children into cruel, inhumane working conditions. Kelley illuminates the harsh reality of child labor by utilizing shocking statistics, creating forceful emotional appeals to detail a bleak visual of the grueling working conditions, and juxtaposing both the way girls spend their time and the current laws between states. Kelley’s purpose is to inspire women to fight for the right to vote, believing that enfranchisement will lead to improvements in society, including the reformation of child labor practices. Kelley’s ostensible audience is the voting class of America because she closes her speech by offering to “enlist the workingmen voters” to join the fight against child labor in an enraged and persuasive tone.

Do you have a dislike for school? Have you ever wished that you did not have to go to school or wish for a break? Well, have you ever thought about kids who can’t go to school? There are kids your age, even some under the age of five who do not have the right to attend school like you can. You are probably wondering why can’t these children go to school or have education and that these children are extremely lucky, well if you think this you are wrong. These children dream or would do anything to have the education that you have.

When Faye started to volunteer at the shelter she decided to make a facebook page so people can adopt the dogs. Another example is that Faye always grooms the puppies and photographs them before she puts them on the facebook page. Therefore, Faye also posts the new dogs available each week for adoption on her facebook page. Every Time Faye volunteers at the shelter, the shelter receives 20 new dogs each week but some dogs still need re-homing. A quote from a worker also from the shelter says “ This takes a lot of heat off the pound for us trying to get these dogs into homes.” A quote from Mr. Oliver says “he appreciates Faye in every good way and wouldn’t let her dream be unpredictable.”

School is a basic human right and it should not be taken away from anyone as Malala would say. Malala is making an inspiring message throughout the world for those students who have the ability to have an education to thank their teachers and take advantage for education not being deprived from them. Malala states that, “You were the one who said if we believe in something greater than our lives, then our voices will only multiply, even if we are dead... (Malala, 119). She brings to attention that if you die fighting for something you believe in then you actually made a difference in the world and that is all that matters. Malala uses pathos and ethos because she is inspiring others to realize that they should start making a change, by maybe helping one person or more and she is willing to die for her

Now, she has a facebook page called Animal Re-Home Waikato, that she spends 3 hours on a night.

The speaker begins her speech by introducing the topic of child labor by stating powerful facts that support her case and using poignant diction to create sympathy; these devices work together to bring attention to the problem of children being overworked from very young ages, and to get people to initially agree with her opinion and see her as a credible source on the matter. Kelley refers to a census regarding the different groups of people making up the “wage earning class” and saying that “no contingent so doubles from census period to census period…as does the contingent of girls between twelve and twenty years of age.” The rate of young girls working, earning a living, increases faster than any other group of people. The reference to

Florence Kelley, an advocate for women and children, delivered an inspiring speech regarding child labor to an emassed crowd of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). In order to expose the horrors of the inhumane practice of child labor, Kelley proposed that child labor laws were needed, women deserved suffrage, and men should contribute to the child labor movement. The persuasive speech included technical diction, emotive imagery, and tone to encourage the listener to end child labor and introduce laws prohibiting it. The persuasive speech serves as a clarion call against child labor.

War is a very tough thing to handle. There is sacrifice and death, and yet peace is still not found. Now countries like the U.S. might fight with others but they don’t use children to do it. Other countries like Sierra Leone are using children to fight their battles. Their horrible methods are immoral and unsafe, so it is only safe to say that child soldiers are the victims of this unspeakable act. The goal should be to rehabilitate these children, not punish them. We should give these kids a chance at a normal life. Some of these children have watched their parents die in front of them or have been victims of rape and abuse. They have nothing and if we punish them even more by taking away the one thing they are still trying to hold on too,

While Canada is the 5th most prosperous country in the world, we are ranked 17th out of 29 affluent nations for our children’s wellbeing, and we drop to the bottom ranks for key measures on children’s health and safety, as well as child poverty. The facts are deeply alarming:
