Kid Work Ethics Case Study

Children are being robbed of their childhood by corporations, that do not care about them. These corporations turn a blind eye towards the dissatisfying life, that is led by these children. They do not care about the children's education or the manner in which they grow up, and they expose them to harsh physical labor and unsatisfactory pay. These children are robbed of the years in which they should lead a normal child's life, and they don't get to truly enjoy being a child. These children are exposed to unhealthy situations to both the body and the mind,situations that a child should not be involved in. They are often unable to pursue proper academic studies, because of their jobs, and this could be because they aren't allowed to study, or simply that the lifestyle they lead doesn't allow them to study. On the other hand, children working at a younger age helps them shape an appreciation for hard work, and they learn to value money and time. Working at an early age also helps shape the economy of the third world countries that these children work

Business owners never thought that children should have a good education than work at these factories because these factories are actually making them deformed. Proof from document seven says that Elizabeth Bentley’s health changed since she had worked at the factory. “Yes, I was . . . a little [healthy] girl [before I started working at the factory]” (Document #7). This is the downside for working at these places. Even though the factory was producing a lot of product, but at the same time they are turning perfectly normal people into mentally retarded people. Furthermore, this isn’t the only cons about these factories. These factories are making these people work more than an average person would work in the twenty-first century. “[They would work] [f]rom six in the morning till 7 at night” (Document #7). These children are working fourteen hours. A normal person would only work eight hours today. Not only that they get worked to death, they weren’t given much breaks. “Forty minutes at noon [time was given for a break]” (Document #7). Working this long these children should be rewarded with a longer break. See the people who believe that getting short breaks is good; well they are wrong because if you do the same thing over and over it gets boring. Also, your brain will get fried. Case in point, child labor is a torturing practice that needs to get abolished because the working

Responding to Children and Young People’s Disclosures of Abuse (September 2011) National Child Protection Clearing House – Practice Brief

In the early 1900’s many young children had to work in factories and mills to help provide for their families. These children often died due to exhaustion and malnutrition. I do not feel that children were an acceptable source of labor, but I think I can understand why some kids had to work and why some employers would hire them. Some families may have not been able to afford to send their children to school because the money their kids made from working was important part of their families income. It probably would have been a hard decision for parents to send their children to work because they knew the bad work conditions of factories and mills. Employers would have hired children because they did have to pay them as much as adults at the

Throughout my research I have noticed that kids who worked hard and were independent at a young age became more successful in their futures. Parents who encourage their kids to work hard in their own advantage are giving their kids a jump start on life. There are many reasons that parents should work their kids but the main ones are, that kids will be given a jump-start in life, and they will learn important life skills like learning to be independent.

against the law to have kids work no matter the families’ condition. These children are

Even though it was expected of children to work, some parents did not want to send their children to work. Parents really only sent their children to work for an extra income to help the family out of poverty. Poverty is the main reason that children are sent to work. The following is the definition of poverty, “Poverty is the inability, through lack of income or wealth, to provide decent housing, clothing, health care, nutrition, or education for oneself or one’s family.” (Riggs 1). Because parents were desperate for money they would take their children’s names off of the school list when education became required (Carson 1). Parents would also feel obligated to give their children permission to work and bring in a small amount of money, but much needed funds. It was also an expectation that children could provide a profitable benefit for their families.

However, that is not the case for all children is America. Often, American farmers employ their own children for heavy labor with no pay. As United States Representative Lynn Woolsey said, “The fact is that children who work on a farm are allowed to work at a younger age, for longer hours and in more hazardous conditions than kids who work at a grocery store. This is unacceptable (Woolsey 33).”

During the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s child labor was a social issue that developed in the United States. In the early 1900’s, so many children ages 16 and under were working in American mine and factories. Our kids should not be forced to work at such an early age, they need education and a good childhood that they will always remember. Some children that are as young as 4 years old are being forced to work in crammed, dangerous factories. These factories are full of poisonous fumes and diseases that can obviously kill. Kids as young as 13 are being forced to work around 13 hours a day. Working these 13 hours is exactly what most adults are working at the time. Kids are also earning a lower wage since they are minors, employers

Everyday individuals are faced with issues associated with ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas involve an individual’s behavior toward a moral standard, which may have been established from previous generations and passed along. In upholding the standards taught individual may be forced to take a particular action involving a decision when a behavior is considered non-ethical is when an ethical dilemma occurs. It can become difficult at times in making the correct decisions or solutions to the situation, which is why a code of ethics is established in the workplace. The code of ethics in the

When their work do not affect their “health and personal development or interfere with their schooling,” they do not fit the negative notion of child labor (ILO, 1996). Children sometimes assist their parents with housework and take a part in building family businesses without their working hours affecting primary education. This is indeed a beneficial experience for children, because they learn to be productive within their communities. On the other hand, ILO (1996) applies the term child labor when work “is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children; and interferes with their schooling by; depriving them of the opportunity to attend school; obliging them to leave school prematurely; or requiring them to attempt to combine school attendance with excessively long and heavy work.” When child labor is engaged in enslavement, separation from families, and misplacement of children on the streets, ILO experts refer to it as the most extreme forms of child

Personal values may conflict with ethical decision making if those personal values are different than the organizational norms of the business or institution. Constructing, and maintaining personal ethics in the workplace rests with the individual, and how willing he or she is in assimilating to the evolving cultural dynamic of the corporate world. Many times a person find their personal, cultural and/or organizational ethics conflicting and must reconcile a course of action that will mitigate cognitive dissonance. In order to be a productive member of society, in small groups and globally, one must reconcile these conflicts on a daily basis and continually move forward while maintaining personal integrity and

When I used to think about child work I automatically thought about it as “child work” in regards to labor and exploitation rather than “childwork” through the process of children being used as the object of anothers service. Throughout my life story, I think that the most prominent and continuos form of childwork in which I was the object was K-12 schooling. This type of childwork or work made to serve children, was provided by teachers and educators whom I interacted with. I consider school a form of exploitation in that many teachers and schools benefit from student attendance since that pays for their salary and increases the funding for each school. If taken from this point of view, education serves as an economic actor which benefits

Children globally at a certain age, are precluded from work. Nonetheless, under no circumstances are they supposed to be coerced to perform any work. When this principle is violated, it is tantamount to abuse, and must be decried globally. Although in certain situations they can perform some household chores, it should not be conducted in a servitude atmosphere. But what do we see in our world today? Children are being enlisted into terrorist groups, militia and other militant groups, not by their own volition, but either they are forced or enticed with financial rewards, which most of the time turn out to be counterproductive.
