65 -) Composition & Essay Writing
96 - ) Slavery
Slavery is a term that
signifies the injustice that is being carried out against humans since the
1600s. Whenever this word comes up, usually people picture rich white people
ruling over black people. However, that is not the only case to exist. After a
profound study, historians found evidence that suggested the presence of
slavery in almost every culture. It was not essentially in the form of people
working in the fields, but other forms. Slavery generally happens due to the
division of levels amongst humans in a society. It still exists in various
parts of the world. It may not necessarily be that hard-core, nonetheless, it
happens.
Slavery is one
of the main causes behind racism in most of the cultures. It did severe damage
to the race relations of America where a rift was formed between the whites and
blacks. The impact of Slavery has caused irreparable damage which can be seen
to date. Even after the abolishment of slavery in the 1800s in America, racial
tensions remained amongst the citizens.
In other
words, this made them drift apart from each other instead of coming close.
Slavery also gave birth to White supremacy which made people think they are
inherently superior just because of their skin color and descendant.
Talking
about the other forms of slavery, human trafficking did tremendous damage. It
is a social evil which operates even today, ruining hundreds and thousands of
innocent lives. Slavery is the sole cause which gave birth to all this.
Even though slavery
was abolished over 150 years ago, the scars still remain. The enslaved still
haven’t forgotten the struggles of their ancestors. It lives on in their hearts
which has made them defensive more than usual. They resent the people whose
ancestors brought it down on their lineage. Even today many people of color are
a victim of racism in the 21st century. For instance, black people face far
more severe punishments than a white man. They are ridiculed for their skin
color even today. There is a desperate need to overcome slavery and all its
manifestations for the condition and security of all citizens irrespective of
race, religion, social, and economic position.
In short, slavery never did
any good to any human being, of the majority nor minority. It further divided
us as humans and put tags on one another. Times are changing and so are
people’s mindsets. One needs to be socially aware of these evils lurking in our
society in different forms. We must come together as one to fight it off. Every
citizen has the duty to make the world a safer place for every human being to
live in.
97 - ) Child Labor
Child labor is a term
you might have heard about in news or movies. It refers to a crime where
children are forced to work from a very early age. It is like expecting kids to
perform responsibilities like working and fending for themselves. There are
certain policies which have put restrictions and limitations on children
working.
The average age
for a child to be appropriate to work is considered fifteen years and more.
Children falling below this age limit won’t be allowed to indulge in any type
of work forcefully. Why is that so? Because child labor takes away the kids
opportunity of having a normal childhood, a proper education, and physical and
mental well-being. In some countries, it is illegal but still, it’s a far way
from being completely eradicated.
Child Labor happens due
to a number of reasons. While some of the reasons may be common in some
countries, there are some reasons which are specific in particular areas and
regions. When we look at what is causing child labor, we will be able to fight
it better. Firstly, it happens in countries that have a lot of poverty and
unemployment. When the families won’t have enough earning, they put the
children of the family to work so they can have enough money to survive.
Similarly, if the adults of the family are unemployed, the younger ones have to
work in their place. Moreover, when people do not have access to the education
they will ultimately put their children to work. The uneducated only care about
a short term result which is why they put children to work so they can survive
their present. Furthermore, the money-saving attitude of various industries is
a major cause of child labor. They hire children because they pay them lesser for
the same work as an adult. As children work more than adults and also at fewer
wages, they prefer children. They can easily influence and manipulate them.
They only see their profit and this is why they engage children in factories.
If we wish to
eradicate child labor, we need to formulate some very effective solutions which
will save our children. It will also enhance the future of any country dealing
with these social issues. To begin with, one can create a number of unions that
solely work to prevent child labor. It should help the children indulging in
this work and punishing those who make them do it. Furthermore, we need to keep
the parents in the loop so as to teach them the importance of education. If we
make education free and the people aware, we will be able to educate more and
more children who won’t have to do child labor. Moreover, making people aware
of the harmful consequences of child labor is a must. In addition, family
control measures must also be taken. This will reduce the family’s burden so
when you have lesser mouths to feed, the parents will be enough to work for
them, instead of the children. In fact, every family must be promised a minimum
income by the government to survive.
In short, the government
and people must come together. Employment opportunities must be given to people
in abundance so they can earn their livelihood instead of putting their kids to
work. The children are the future of our country; we cannot expect them to
maintain the economic conditions of their families instead of having a normal
childhood.
