So, at school today we learned about child labor around the globe. My history teacher was pissing me off for her ignorance on it. I'm not sure on my views on this. Since it was a joke in History class, what do you all think?

Please leave this open for discussion :)

P.S. I'd like everyone's view on this, I have to write a paper on everyone's opinion. (have to interview like 10 people, I'll count these people as some)

To be honest, I see nothing wrong with it. If small children want to work for money, let them. It's different if you're forcing them to work though.

Just lost all the respect I once had for you.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but didn't wanna sound like a d*ck. I don't approve of the conditions they work in, in certain cases.

Who cares? They're agreeing to work in them. We shouldn't have to give them special care. They should man up or not work there if they don't like the conditions.

I mean come ONNN. You can't tell me it isn't worth it for companies like Nike.

This sounds weird, but I think that would attract more younger people to buy their shoes. They'd see their peers making the shoes, so they'd want to buy them. It's just like alcohol advertising. It would help their company if anything.

They find ways to work with it. It gets them prepared for life. They're also getting paid. The companies can pay em less. Pro, pro, pro, pro. I'm sure the kids don't mind it, either. It's their culture in some places.

I agree. It's much more profit for the company to pay them less. Yet they won't do it? God, people wonder why the US economy is shit...

*sigh* Yeah. We need a better leader who will understand these things better. Someone like Kony. Too bad he's dead :\

Kony is innocent. He has really good ideas, working kids to better their physical strength.

Video about his innocence:

I agree. It's just like Americans to want to go and kill someone based on things they hear. Ignorance...
