Firstly when immigrants were coming over they had no food, no home, no job so they would work for very low wages;that does not mean that the conditions in the workplace have to be unsafe and people like Andrew carnegie he was just exploiting the immigrants by making them work for seven-days a week , and daily work 12 or more hours. They were also not entitled to vacation, sick leave, unemployment compensation, or reimbursement for injuries suffered on the job. Lastly it was not only adult workers in the factories children as young as 4 would be working in these factories “an average of 675…
In paragraphs nine and eleven, Kelley appeals to guilt in order to make her claim on child labor clear. In paragraph nine, Kelley refers to her audiences consciences being under a great burden of evil. The horrid evil will continue to haunt their mind until there are no longer small white girls working ten to twelve hours a night while they peacefully sleep. To further their guilt Kelley goes into detail of the children's work, about how they made the exact clothing the audience are wearing at that moment. Kelley blames America for the children being "...robbed of school life..." so that "...they may work for us".…
Ellis worked with both white and African American women in the cotton fields of the “great Cotton Kingdom”. Women were forced to reproduce large numbers of children. Women and children were the cheapest source of labor. Even during pregnancy, women were forced to work through their…
Obtaining a job that will allow someone to support themself or their family is hard enough on its own but without a proper education it becomes even more difficult. In Document B Esperanza's mother says, “Esperanza, you go to school. Study hard.” Her mother wants her to get an education and get a better life than she has had. “I could’ve been somebody you know?”. She’s highlighting the fact that she lost out on opportunities because of the fact that she did not receive a proper education. These pieces of evidence prove the point because she is highlighting all the opportunities she missed and ones her daughter will miss if she doesn't…
In America, there used to be unfair laws and regulations regarding labor. Children are put to work in harsh conditions, conditions often deemed difficult even for adults, and are forced to work ridiculous hours. Florence Kelley gave a speech at the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905. In her speech, Kelley uses repetition, pathos, imagery, logos, and carefully placed diction to express how child labor is morally wrong and inhumane.…
Having the children work as most of the labor force is the catastrophic idea because children were being beat (Doc B). “Sarah Golding was poorly and so she stopped her machine. James Birch, the overlooker, knocked her to the floor. She got up as well as she could. He knocked her down again. Then she was carried to her house, she was later found dead in her bed (Doc B)” explained by an unknown person who worked in the factory. They are kids if they are sick they can’t work as hard as adults that are sick. They should never be…
During the growth of the Industrial Revolution in the mid 1800s, big companies and businesses started to boom. The growth of these companies provided many job opportunities for those in need. Those in need of jobs included men, women, and even children. Even after the Industrial Revolution, child labor was still a huge issue in America. With the rise of the Woman’s Suffrage Movement, reformers such as Florence Kelley took the stage to improve the conditions for women and children in the workforce through labor reforms. Kelley, who was a worker and reformer, addressed this issue in her speech at the convention of the National American Women Suffrage Association in Philadelphia in the summer of 1905. She successfully used her persuasive and argumentative…
While it’s required for every child now a days to have an education, back then children were required to work in factories without getting an education. Only rich families would put their kids through school, and there were only a few rich families back then. Along with that thought, Document #7 is an interview on Elizabeth Bentley, a working woman at Leeds. In the interview, the committee asked, “Were you perfectly straight and healthy before you worked at a mill?” she answered with “yes I was as straight as a little girl as ever went up and down town” (Document #7).…
The film Bad Education, like all films, is judged in two separate facets of the filmmaking process, the films structure or its formal issues and the films real world concerns or its social issues. This intricate film’s plot and timeline make for an interesting and methodically thought out effect on these issues. Bad Education’s use of both a nonlinear storyline and its timeline in Spanish culture show a calculating execution of director Pedro Almodovar’s design for the film.…
Approximately 75 million children around the world have no opportunity to attend primary school. Of the 75 million, most of them are girls due to tradition or parents that hold them back from attending ("Main Navigation"). Other factors that affect children from going to school is because of conflicts and wars that result in schools to be destroyed and families to flee the country. Lack of education is a growing crisis due to many factors in developing countries but it has the power pull a country out of poverty and make them economically stable and attract other countries to trade, therefore it should be seen as a priority. Developed countries are involved to help countries increase their education because every child should have the right to education and be able to have access to education to learn so they can lead and help the future. Developing countries have insufficient budgets dedicated to education, a poor quality of teaching and learning environment and lastly kids too poor to attend school due to costs.…

According to one calculation, “the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the combined populations of "Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming" (http://www.breitbart.com). That is to say, America’s economy is so low, to the point, that the number of citizens requiring food stamps exceeds the population of 24 states combined. One can only stop and wonder, what is the cause of America’s decline. It is Obama’s fault? Is it your own fault? Like with all things in life, in which balance is key, America’s decline is the result of all of our own actions. Even Presidents are the result of our own actions. We pressure them and force them to make dirty underhanded methods to stay on our positive side. Taking this cynical view on life, as if there is no silver lining to think about at all, one can only wonder what is the source of all of the worlds’ problems? Although it may not be the main source of our issues, Education plays a large part into our country’s “failing” economy. It has been said, for many years now by officials, politicians, beauty pageant competitors, celebrities, and Americans that our education system is outdated and very well neglected. If a teacher or a critique were to grade our economy, it would receive an F. In order to raise that F into an A or B, a student would normally being by establishing his basic foundations again, doing homework and studying for tests. The equivalent basis in improving our economy is by creating a foundation of people who can actually become intelligent enough to solve our problems for us. In order to even do that, education must be reformed so that we learn to work off of freedom and creativity, so that we do not punish failure, and adaptable so that we can continue to change with the times.…
Ignorance can be one of the most hurtful catalyst, which I can think of. Ignorance can cause one to say the first thoughtless perception a person has in their head. For example, a seventh grader learning about the Hindu religion and reincarnation in social studies class and then asking the only Indian student in the class if they were going to turn into a rabbit in their next life. Imagine, take yourself back to middle school, filled with insecurities, constantly changing body and your preteen attitudes, how would you react to such questions? Because of the closed-minded society that we live in, it is often hard to learn from other cultures which inevitably hinders our ability to understand one another.…
