Although children had been servants throughout most of human history, child labour reached new extremes during the Industrial Revolution. Children were employed at the young age of four. Employers recognised that they could employ children for lower wages than the adults to do a more dangerous job. It was the work by younger children that was the most dangerous. Children as young as four or five could be employed as trappers, their job was to open and close the ventilation doors in the underground tunnels to allow the hurriers pulling their carts to pass through. Children in coalmines were employed as hurriers, hurriers were needed to carry baskets or tow trucks of coal to the surface. Girls as young as six or seven could be employed in this way, to pull the tow truck or basket they had to wear a belt or chain around their waist, this caused a lot of damage to the pelvic bone and many women who worked in the mines as children later died in childbirth because their bodies could not support it. In textile factories, young children were employed as scavengers they would collect loose pieces of cotton from under the machines while they were still running. Many young girls worked in match factories, the harsh chemicals would often cause them lose their teeth. Children in the industrial revolution were forced to grow up at such a young age and lost their freedom and didn’t get time to do

Finally, Lululemon’s founder, Chip Wilson, made a publicly offensive suggestion, that some women’s bodies were not made to wear his yoga pants. “The problem was that the yoga-apparel company has been having with its pants on the size of women 's thighs” (EBSCO, Nov 14, 2013). After making those comments discourage plus size customers were embarrassed and felt like they don’t want to shop at the store anymore. Some women blamed CEO for making products that don’t last long. One of the examples from Financial Post. However, despite the unfortunate occurrences last year Lululemon is in a very healthy position in the Canadian and US markets. In addition to that, Lululemon’s baggiest competitor is now Sears Canada. Sears became a new stop for consumers who want high-quality and affordable yoga gear. “The struggling department store chain says its Pure Energy Athletics line of yoga clothes has been a hit with customers since they were introduced in February. The chain says it sells yoga pants for $14.99 or $29.99 — a steal compared to similar clothing from other retailers, like Lululemon Athletica” (Edmonton Journal, May 21, 2014). However, Lululemon has a tremendous

In 2008, there were approximately 215 million child labourers, aged 5-17, in the world. According to the International Labour Organization, the number of child labourers globally fell by 3% from the years of 2004-2008 which is slower in comparison to the 2000-2004 period that had an 11% decrease (Diallo, Etienne, & Mehran, 2013).There has also been a 15% decrease in the number of girls in child labour in contrast to boys who are having their work increase (United Nations, 2013). Among them, 115 million children were in hazardous work which includes: prostitution, agriculture, mining, militia, construction, manufacturing, service industries, hotels, bars, and domestic service (Cigno, Rosati, & Guarcello, 2002). The terms “hazard” and “risk” are often used with this type of child

“Children worked in very dangerous conditions in the picture represent in document 8” (Document 8). The children working in the factories have to be careful not to get their limbs or foreign objects lodged into the machines. If they got injured or ill and had to miss work in order to properly recuperate. “You are considerably deformed in person as a consequence of this labor? Yes I am” (Document 7), a woman that worked in a flax mill as a young girl was left deformed from all the harsh labor that was forced upon her while growing up. Not only did the parents have to work in order to be able to provide for their family, but their children had to work in order to contribute to be able to put food on the table for the whole family due to the parents lack of pay. “Children were uneducated and were unable to attend school as seen in document 6” (Document 6). Because of the lack of education many adults were illiterate, which caused many problems for example, learning basic life skills would be more difficult and time consuming because people are unable to self-educate by reading informational books on how to acquire basic skills “I am at work in a spinning room tending four sides of warp which is one girl’s work” (Document 1) Children were over worked the girl that spoke in the text about was forced to do the work of four separation girls all in one. Furthermore is unhealthy for anyone at any age

During the industrial revolution in Britain, the usage of child labourers dramatically increased as it became a cheap and easy form of labour. This lead to the continued abuse of many children in textile factories. In 1833, the Factory Act of 1833 was put forth which dictated that no children under the age of nine would work. Children ages nine to thirteen wouldn’t work more than nine hours a day and children ages thirteen to eighteen wouldn’t work more than twelve hours a day. In addition it introduced the circulation of four factory inspectors who were to enforce the new legislation. They were to certify whether children had received their compulsory education of two hours each day and report conditions to the government. This act brought forth attention and sparked debates from the public which made stronger note of the working conditions for children.

As a member of the British Parliament it is in my duty to inform the country of the plight of children in textile mills and other factories. Many documents have claimed factories to be harsh, unhealthy and unsafe. While, others have claimed them to have light and safe work. But which is correct? In this article, 4 excerpts have been analyzed and explained. Documents A & C include negative comments on child labor in factories, while Documents B & D are positive towards the situations children in factories have to handle.

We are only paid a fraction of what an adult gets, and some factory owners get away with not paying workers. Orphans were the ones subjected to the slave like labor. Factory owners justified their actions of not paying orphans by claiming they have the orphans food, shelter, and clothing, all of which were far below par. The children that were not old enough to work with machines, were normally sent to be assistants to textile workers. I have heard that the people who the children worked for, would verbally and physically abuse them without taking their safety into consideration. Additionally, one form of common punishment from being late or not working up to standards is being “weighted.” This is when a leader/overseer ties a heavy weight to a worker’s neck and has them walk up and down the factory so other children can see them and “take the example.” Weighting has serious consequences such as horrible injuries to the neck and/or back. Boys are sometimes dragged naked from their beds and sent to factories only holding their clothes, to be put on there. This ensured that they were not late, which in fact is very cruel, even if it is a few

Many started young, others started in their teens, while the rest don’t know the experience. Each individual may know at least someone else who’s been or still is in this category. Past years, it was an issue but now in days it’s not as common as it was before in time. Child Labor, child labor is what kept children from attending school or even harmed them in variety of ways. They’d get what is called minimum waged, not enough money. It’d harm their way of thinking and also emotional wise. Some would say that even illness was involved with these children or worse, injuries. Owners wouldn’t have bit sympathy for the occurrence, as long as they had their job done at the end of the day.

Document A states, “accidents were very often admitted to the infirmary, through children’s hands and arms having been caught in the machinery.” Document A also explains that over half of children employed in factories were injured by machinery. In Document C, it states that before an inspection, the workers would have to clean up and answer questions as they were told, “not daring to do any other, knowing what would happen if we told them the truth.” No further inspection was done at that factory, even though the boys were beaten with sticks, as said in paragraph 2. Document D even states that, “it is definitely true that there have been instances of abuse and cruelty in some factories.”

In the early 1900’s, children were often forced to work long hours with very little pay. In addition, the conditions in these factories were considered highly dangerous. Because the children were required to work in these labor conditions to support their families, they were unable to get the education they deserved. The working conditions during the Industrial Revolution were poor; however, the working environment for minors today has significantly improved. There is a long list of physical demanding jobs that are not allowed to employ children.

Target has a wide variety of clothes that appeal to a wide variety of people. The main segments of their targeted consumers are women, men, and children. The sub-segments in women’s clothing are active wear, youth, or maternity. Active wear are for women who are looking for comfortable clothes to workout in. Youth are for casual or business casual people to wear on a day to day basis. Maternity clothes are for women who are pregnant and looking for clothes that are bigger. Men sub-segments include active wear and casual wear. Both sub-segments serve the same purpose as the women’s. Children sub-segments include infant, toddler, and school uniforms. Infant are usually gender-neutral clothing for all babies. Toddler clothing are for kids around

These children should be in school rather than in these workplaces. Child labor costs less, but it causes problems for the children later on in life. These circumstances are very unhealthy for these children. "It causes permanent physical, psychological, intellectual, social, and moral damage leading towards death" (Greene, 9-10). There was a child who was forced to work fifteen-hour days. If a young child working that many hours were able to make up the sleep lost during the time they were working, it would take nearly a lifetime to make it all up (Bartoletti 12). Children should be able to get the right amount of sleep so they do not become ill. By working that many hours children do not get the right amount of sleep that they need.

Of the hundreds of named brand clothing that form part of the retail and fashion industry I chose to compare, for my analysis, Abercrombie & Fitch, Forever 21, American Eagle, and H&M. These stores are prominent, well-known for selling apparel, shoes, and accessories by the means of offering sales and promotions to their customers. This is a clever strategy for attracting customers, allowing them to believe that they bought goods at affordable, convenient prices – and not to mention the prestigious name prescribed to the clothing brands. Using keyhole.co as my main source, I obtained relevant and valuable information regarding the status of these brands. My intentions were to compare a period of 14 days, however, due to the limited access that I received from my free trial, the program only allowed me to see fewer of the dates than I anticipated. I want to take this opportunity and mention ahead of time that due to the various and distinctive products that are sold from these stores, when looking for the “spending capacity” I decided to focus on shirts/ jeans for men and women and compare the prices among them since each of these retailers carry those items and as a way to make this report easier to contrast and comprehend. Also, when approaching the section of “setting”, I screen-shotted some of the images on Instagram and made them into a collage to separate the type of clothes and trends that each of these brands sell currently. In the following modules

Gap Inc., a leading global specialty apparel retailer, continued to lose market share and revenues as customer loyalty declined across the company’s five brands. Struggling to deliver a consistent product and customer experience, Gap Inc. was challenged to redefine its strategy once again. Going forward, the company is focused on driving long-term growth by expanding its customer base.

Levi Strauss & Co.’s Women’s wear Division markets several lines of products but their recent introduction of the Women’s 501® jeans have been particularly successful. The marketing strategy for the new product launch was based on studies identifying two consumers Clusters as primary targets. The first consumer group consisted of women whose median age was 25, who had sophisticated tastes and were appreciative of the latest styles, the second group consisted of
