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.

Poverty and Death

          Hunger, poverty, diseases and illnesses, these are the silent killers of children all around the world. The number of children dying all around the world increases each year, and right now 22,000 children in the world die each day. Many children can’t afford food, and can barely have one meal a day; some children even skip a day of food because of poverty. Some countries are filled with deadly diseases and illnesses, and a lot of these children in these types of countries such as Africa don’t have enough money to get immunization to these illnesses. Many children all around the world, experience the pain and suffering of poverty which can lead them to a terrible life style or even death.

              In the world, children face horrible fates which are extremely surprising to people who don’t experience the harm of poverty. In the world, 22,000 children die each day.1 child dying every four seconds.15 children dying every minute. That’s like a 2010 Haiti earthquake, or a 2004 Asian tsunami happening every ten days. There are 8.1 children dying every year. There was 88 million children died between 2000 and 2009.These statistics are scary, but faces us with the truth of the real world.

          Poverty has taken away many children’s lives; the children who survived are faced with a terrible lifestyle. Around the world 2.5 billion people lack the access of improved sanitization. 1 billion children are deprived of one or more services essential to survival and development. 148 million under 5 years old in developing regions are underweight for their age. 101 million children are not attending primary school, with more girls than boys missing out22 million infants are not protected from diseases by routine immunization. 8 million children worldwide died before their 5th birthday in 20094 million newborns worldwide are dying in the first month of life. 2 million children fewer than 15 are living with HIV .Poverty is everywhere where it is least expected.

          Deaths, poverty they are both connected and have caused much trouble in the world. People who are involved in poverty are missing out in the beauty of life. The terrifying statistics about poverty and death, gives us the sight of what the real world is like. Not all people have an average salary, not all people can afford a three coarse meal, and not all people can survive.
