How Should Marianne Barner Respond To The German Video Program

Child labour is a very real problem in the world today, and although it is declining, progress is happening at a slow and unequal pace. Child labour by the International Labour Organization is defined as “work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development (Diallo, Etienne, & Mehran, 2013, p. 2).” In the most extreme forms of child labour it could account for child enslavement, separation from their families, exposure to serious hazards and illnesses and being left to fend for themselves on the streets (Dinopoulos & Zhao, 2007). In order for certain types of work to be included as “child labour” depends on the child’s age, the type of work,

In her article, “Live Free and Starve,” Chitra Divakaruni uses multiple persuasive appeals, alongside a pattern of evaluation, to drive home her opinion of child labor in Third World countries. Directed at Americans who recently passed a bill banning import of goods made by children, she explains how boycotting these companies may negatively affect the lives and livelihood of children and their families in these nations. Throughout this article, Chitra is able to stay in-touch with her audience by maintaining a back-and-forth balance between support and criticism for the bill with great success.

“The main cause for children doing work is poverty,” says Nadira Faulmuller in “This Company is Employing Children”. People should buy products made with child labor. Buying these products will support the many families of the working children, since the reason children are working is poverty. Not buying the products can create more problems for the children working. Even though some say that working children are robbed of their education, individuals should buy products made with the use of child labor because hard labor has the ability to motivate children to get an education.

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.

He also demonstrates his works for the community and the common good through politics, and social media. With Kielburger’s goal of bringing global awareness to the issue of child labour, he addresses his concerns with the Canadian Press, with the help of three very young workers, Asmita, Mohan, and Nagashir. Kielburger (1998) expresses that an estimated 250 million children are working in child servitude around the world. These children do not have a chance for education, to live a normal life, or even a chance to play” (p. 168). Kielburger willingly chose to speak out for the millions of children working in child servitude. He expresses how those children would never be able to live that carefree childhood children should live, and how the lives of theses children are not being protected. Through the conference, Kielburger tries to awaken global awareness to this issue, and tries to promote the common good. Craig continues to promote the community and the common good by taking this issue to the Canadian Prime Minister. According to Kielburger (1998), during a short meeting with Prime Minister Chrétien, Kielburger questions, “[if] [the] [United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund] policy forbids’ the purchase of goods from companies that violate the country’s child labour laws [why] would Canada not consider adopting the same policy?” (p. 194). Kielburger pointed to the fact that Canada as a whole is supporting these child servitude facilities by purchasing and supporting the goods made by the children. He understands that the role of the government is to defend and promote the common good of civil society, of its citizens and other intermediate bodies (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003, para 1910). He believes that as long as Canada continues to buy items produced by child labourers, then the

Groups of people that are against the issue of child labor, or child exploitation, cooperate and begin organizations. Founded by a few, to grow into a much more effective project was the way to let the rest of the world aware about the current situation of children being exploited. A well-known organization named International Labor Organization (ILO), has created a project to take action against child labor. The project is named International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor (IPEC), which was created in 1992. IPEC has reached milestones to be closer to eliminating child labor, according to ILO-IPEC (2013), “Global number of children in child labour has declined by one third since 2000, from 246 million to 168 million children. More than half of them, 85 million, are in hazardous work (down from 171 million in 2000).” It can be seen that progress and action has been made, a potential to making a difference in the issue.
