g20 police officers

         Many people were arrested during the g20, they haven’t done anything and weren’t even allowed to go to court to see if they can go to jail or not .On the news it showed people being released from detention centers. These people gave information that the police there were very rude, they’ve have been argued by police, they weren’t even able to get clean drinking water. These people have experienced a terrible moment in their lives. Some peaceful protestors were even arrested or beaten for no apparent reason. Many people have been wrongfully accused by police officers, but I don’t think the police officers have done that by accident though. It’s probably because of the power they had during the g20, the power to arrest people.

          The g20 caused a lot of problems to the citizens who were wrongfully accused by police officers, and were beaten and/or arrested. The police officers behavior was unacceptable and not right in my opinion. Innocent protesters were put in detention centers that would not even given clean water to drink from. Many people who wanted to voice out their opinions were arrested, many peaceful protestors were beaten, many people were put in to detention centers for no reason, and these were the behaviors of the police officers.

Seal Hunting

          Should the seal hunt in northern Canada be banned? What is more important the extinction of the seal or the Inuit’s culture of seal hunting being taken away? Debates are being brought up about whether the seal hunt in northern Canada should be banned or not. In my opinion the seal hunt should be banned because of the fact that they are becoming endangered. But seal hunting is the culture of the Inuit’s in the north of Canada; they eat seal and make their skin into clothes. But can they hunt seal too much? There are many pros and cons about seal hunting that makes people think whether seal hunting should be banned or not?
          The reason why seal hunting shouldn’t be banned is because it is the Inuit’s culture to seal hunt. Inuit’s are known for seal hunting, and they use parts of the seal to help them survive. The Inuit’s eat their meat, and make their skin into clothing. But they are also reasons for not hunting seals which are because they are becoming endangered. And I know that it may seem unprofessional for me to say it, but they are so cute, they faces are just adorable making it heart breaking seeing them being slaughtered.
          There are many pros and cons to seal hunting. The pros are that it is the culture of the native people to hunt seal. But the cons are they are becoming endangered and they are very beautiful animals. But in my opinion seal hunting should be banned, just by looking at the cons makes me realize that I do not support seal hunting. I know it may seem cruel that I do not support seal hunting but I eat pigs, cows and chickens, but the truth is, is that they aren’t endangered. Debates are heating about seal hunting in Canada, and in my opinion I am against seal hunting.

Sweatshops

          Are sweatshops really necessary? Is it okay to endanger a human life in these dangerous work environments? Should we allow people who work in sweatshops to be treated unjustly and paid a minimum wage? Well, I don’t think so. People all around the world are involved in sweatshops for many reasons such as, the desperate need of money, but these people don’t know what there up against. Sweatshops are dangerous in many ways: the owner of the sweatshops hits/beats the employees if they do not work to their standards. And the places people in sweatshops work in are very unstable in a way that the machines can fall on them endangering their lives. I don’t think sweatshops should even be legal because of the torture people have to go through just to earn a small amount of money.
          The people who work in sweatshops are treated badly, treated like slaves. People who work in sweatshops don’t really have a choice, because the usual case is that these people badly need money and would do anything to get it, so they end up working in a place where they would soon regret. I feel very bad for people who work in sweatshops because of the abuse they have to go through. Most of the time they aren’t paid minimum wage, they are paid bellow minimum wage. These people are fighting for their lives, but sweatshops just make that struggle even worse. People get hurt by their employer everyday if they don’t meet their standards. These employers don’t know how hard their employees are working, all the stress they have been through. People in sweatshops risk their lives every day, from the abuse they go through by the amount of work they have to do, to the physical abuse by their employers, to the death deifying truth that working in sweatshops don’t help their lives, but takes it away.
          Life is a beautiful thing, you cannot replace it, people would do anything thing to save it in this case work in sweatshops. The truth is money is one of the things you need to help you survive, and when people don’t have money they would do anything to get it, so they can pay for food, shelter, water, to live. People in sweatshops are desperate for money, they really need it, some people may know the dangers of sweatshops, some people don’t, but they would do it anyway just to earn money. Sweatshops are dangerous, cruel, and painful; people who work in sweatshops will soon regret it.
