What Are France's Strict Laws

“ In 1900, 18 percent of all American workers were under the age of 16.”(Foner) Child labor is a terrible thing that children have to go through. Although this was not considered a problem because of how normal it was.(Foner.). But due to the work of investigative journalist children today no longer have to worry about working in these dangerous environments.

For Dia de los muertos I am going to represent my dog Nani. She was very furry and her color was blonde. I could hold her in my arms because she was super tiny. I would describe Nani as a nice, kind, sweet, and awesome dog. The sad part though is that she died last year.

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.

Hundreds of thousands of children under the age of 18 are working in agriculture in the United States. According to The Daily Transcript, “Many young people ages 13 to 16 work 70 to 80 hours a week and risk pesticide poisoning, heat illness, injuries and lifelong disabilities.” With this going on, children are being exposed to harm that they may or may not even be aware of. Child labor is more common in the United States (and all over the world) than one might think. There are laws currently in place dealing with child labor, “…which prohibit 12 and 13-year-olds from working most jobs, except on farms, and also say that youths aged 14 and 15 may not work in hazardous jobs, including construction.” (The Daily Transcript). Although these laws are in place, in 2010, 467 child-labor violations were found and

If it wasn’t in farms, then it was out in the hot sun of the fields, or even in factories. Kids were meant to work in their family’s farm, but when it was time to send them to work in other farmer’s farm it was to do so. Working in agriculture was difficult with the extreme temperatures. For some children high temperatures was normal because of how they were used to being out working. Others that worked in factories sometimes dealt with carrying heavy equipment and dangerous tools. Many factories had to do with fire and toxins that many worked around of. Being in factories they were useful due to their size, they’d fit anywhere that adults couldn’t reach into. They were easier to control for how young they were and even though they managed to do most of the work, they were paid less than the adults. All minors had long hours to work every day for such little pay. Sometimes hours reached at least ten to fourteen and didn’t give them much break that was supposed

There are studies that prove that child labour is the cause of many dangers and hazards. Some of the consequences of child labour are as follows:

First of all, child labor laws should be regulated so that working conditions are safer. Children’s health is diminishing because of the terrible working conditions. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), “23 percent of all children between 5 and 17 years of age were economically active in the year 2000,” and that “About half of these children are estimated to do work that is likely to harm their health, safety, or moral development” (Huebler 4). There is an enormous amount of children that are being harmed at work, and better regulations should be placed to stop this from happening. Children are suffering from injuries at work and the accidents end up unreported. England’s Health and Safety Executive says that there are, “31 reportable accidents involving under-16s at work over the past two years, including 16 major injuries and one fatality” (White 137). This is why accidents are being under-reported, and children that work in illegal industries are worse off. If there are no regulations and nobody is enforcing better and safer work conditions, there will be more children injured each year.

Article 9 in France states that everyone has a right to privacy. This article prevents privacy invasions. This affects photography because it does not allow you to take pictures with people, like in street photography. Since they can be recognized, you are invading their privacy.

Child labor laws prevent anyone under the age of 16 from getting a job, but they are still considered a child as they are a child until they reach the age of 18. Child labor laws are in place to prevent adults from taking advantage of children, but child labor laws don’t apply to people who are still children, according to the rule that you have to be 18+ to be an adult. These two rules contradict each other, child labor laws make it where you are a child until 16+ years old, while until you’re 18+ years old, you are considered a child. When you take on responsibility for your actions at age 16, you should be

In general the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has set a general rule that allows minor as young as 14 years of age to work. Of course there are limits to the amount of hours worked. The military requires a minimum age of 17 with parents consent to join. Wow a 17 year old can be allowed to carry and M16 A4 rifle and fight for his/her country. But the National Basketball Association wants to up the age to 20 years old.

To help the child to develop properly age limitations were set for the child to be allowed to work at the age of 15 years of age. At the age of 15 years of age the Convention members feel the child should have already met the criteria for its requirements as it relates

“Child labor usually means work that is done by children under the age of 15 (14 in some developing countries) that restricts or damages a child's physical, emotional, social and/or spiritual growth.”1

We as people do not all live by the same moral principles since we originate from different societies and practice different moral beliefs and practices. Therefore, this scenario exemplifies moral relativism. The members of the groups are against the child labor which relates to the moral relativism. In certain societies the officially permitted working age is required by law for an individual to work. Some positions forbidden even for those who are of age. This is due to the nature of the profession and the amount of risk the child may be in while completing work for the position. Many societies approve of children working in certain hazardous positions due to their way of living. Less fortunate countries usually have more children working

Jonathan arrived home, dropped his bag on the ground, his shoulders sore from carrying it around all day, and began scanning his surroundings for signs of disturbance caused by his wonderful ol’ demon pal. To his surprise, he found nothing, or at least not anything that he could see at the moment. He walked to the kitchen to grab something to eat, and glanced around the room, and again found nothing that would show that Sock had been up to something while he was gone. As this was highly unusual, he guessed that the kid had probably done something in and/or to his room.

The Age of Reason was a period of contemplation. This was also a time of growth in knowledge, enlightenment, and reasoning. This was a period of great change in the way man viewed himself, the universe, and God. Ways and ideas of America today happen to reflect the Age of Reason. In fact, enlightenment really hasn’t ended.
