Child Labour

Child Labour
"Child labour" is generally speaking, work for children that harms them or exploits them in some way. However, there is no universally accepted definition of 'child labour'. Not all work is bad for children. Some social scientists point out that some kinds of work may be completely unobjectionable except for one thing about the work that makes it exploitative.For instance, a child who delivers newspaper before school might actually benefit from learning how to work, gaining responsibility, and earn a bit money. But what if the child is not paid? Then he or she is being exploited. However, we should be careful in drawing the line between acceptable and unacceptable work.

To avoid confusion, when writing or speaking about "child labour", it's best to explain exactly what you mean by child labour or, if someone else is speaking, ask for a definition. This essay uses the first definition cited in this section: 'Child Labour" is work for children under age 18 that in some way harms or exploits them ( physically, mentally, morally, or by blocking children from education).

Sixty one% in Asia 32% in Africa, and 7 % in latin America, !% in US, Canada, Europe and other wealthy nations, there are children labourers. In Asia 22% of the workforce is children. In Latin America 17% of workforce is children. The proportion of the child labourers varies a lot among countries and even regions inside those countries. 'In Africa, one the child in three is at work, and in Latin America, one child in five works. In both continents, only a tiny proportion of child workers are involved in the formal sector and the vast majority of work is for their families, in homes, in the fields or on the streets' Work ranges from taking care of animals and planting and harvesting food, to many kinds of small manufacturing , auto repair, and making of footwear and textiles.A large proportion of children classified as child labourers work in agriculture. More boys then girls work outside their homes. But more girls work in some jobs. for instance, as domestic maids. Being a maid in someone's house can be risky. Maids typically are cut off from friends and family. and can easily be physically or sexually abused by their employed. Less then 5% of child labourers make products for export to other countries. Poverty is widely considered the top reason why children work at inappropriate jobs for their ages. But there are other reasons as well-not necessarily in this order. family expectations and traditions abuse of the child lack of good school's and day care lack of other services,such as health care public opinion that downplays the risk of early work for children uncaring attitudes of employers limited choices for women

The parent of child labourers are often unemployed or underemployed, desperate for secure employment and income. Yet it is their children- more powerless and paid less- who are offered the jobs. In other words, children are employed because they are easier to exploit. International economic trends also have increased child labour in poor countries. 'during the 1980s, in many developing countries, government indebtedness, unwise internal economic policies and recession resulted in economic crisis. In many countries public education has deteriorated so much, the report declared, that education itself has become part of the problem- because children work to avoid going to school. Children do some types of low-status work, the report adds, because children come from minority groups or populations that have long suffered discrimination. An increasingly consumer-oriented culture, spurring the desire and expectation for consumer goods, can also lead children into work and away from school'. These are some suggestions that can help reduce child labour: economic development that raise family incomes and living standards widespread, affordable, required and relevant education enforcement of anti-child labour laws (along with compulsory education laws). changes in public attitudes toward children that elevate the importance of education social services- that help children and families survive crises, such as disease, or loss of home and shelter family control of fertility-so that families are not burdened by children Some educators and social scientists believe that one of the most important ways to help child workers is to ask their opinions, and involve them in construction to their own problems.

Arranged Marriages

Arranged Marriages
Relationships are the most important things in life. And marriage is one of the most important relationships. Having said that, it becomes even more important who arranges the marriage, whether it's w e or someone else have different opinions coming from different age groups from different parts of the world. Marriage we can see is a commitment of spending the rest of our life with someone. This has a great impact on our life , career and personality. So, should we let our parents decide so much for us? To start with, it can be answered positively. They are more experienced and well placed in the society. They better understand people and thus, understand us better we do sometimes. Moreover, being our parents, they want the best for us all the time. It may be seem to be as simple but in reality is not. The choice of our life partner should have say in it. Of course! how can we marry someone who we don't know? Is it possible to stay along with the person and share everything that we have in our life? From this point of view it may not look sensible at all. Considering that all of us have the right to decide for ourselves once we are grown up and matured, the right of the choosing our life partner should be given to us and no one else unless of course we forfeit it to someone else.

Coming back to the arguments, we can see around us and observe how many 'love married' have been successful? In some parts of the world they stay in but unfortunately in many other places they fail to develop into life-long relationship. The mostly young couples complain of misunderstandings, concealed truths about each other and making a 'hurried and emotional decision', concealed mentally suffer because of this and their performance goes down. They go on to face social and psychological problem and life-long problems in some cases. Young and immature men usually get attracted towards beautiful and fascinated young girls. So, they went to many them. Sometimes, these girls may have many other boy friends and vice versa. Furthermore, since in Pakistan we have joint family system, our parents may not like this thing and they may not to live with her. Therefore, these marriages usually end in divorce. In short, we can say that arranged marriages are best.
