Living in our seemingly excluded universe, i would consider most Americans to be oblivious to the horrific events happening across the globe. Are we too focused on "getting ahead" that we forget about those who are suffering severe torture and fear? If you think i am being a little harsh, then i would have to consider you to be afraid of the truth, or even worse, one who is partaking in the typical self-advancing phenom . Of course there are those out there who acknowledge global crises but refuse to do anything about it, which makes my blood boil. Alot of their idleness, i feel, does not derive so much from their apathy, but from now knowing how to get involved or how to increase awareness. So when global crises such as child labor come about, either the issue goes unknown or nothing is being done to resolve it.
Although i know child labor exists, i have vague knowledge about the cruelties and specifics evolving around this issue. Because i am very biased in my beliefs, i fear i may approach this topic with a closed mind, however i assure that i will try to look at this issue from both sides. I will look at positions that both defame and revere child labor in an attempt to get a thorough understanding. I will look into the circumstances that make child slavery a must, although i feel no means are necessary to enslave a child. I will research what kind of labor children are used for and why, how children are obtained, how the international community is getting involved, and the UN's attempt at resolution.
My research question: How has child labor developed into a human rights issue and how much is the global community doing to develop/reinforce child rights?
