It is 2016 and there is still
child labor in the world. To be honest, it is very sad. In some countries in
Asia, like India and China, it is relatively common to see children on the
street helping their parents to sell items or working in people’s house as a
servant. I feel very sad whenever I see children on the streets begging or
selling things. I believe those kids should be in school, they should be
getting an education. They should not be selling items on the streets or in the
marketplace. These children are vulnerable. They are regularly exploited by
their employees as they are children. They have no choice but to work to earn a
living for their family. I believe everyone has a right to an education.
Knowledge is power.Unfortunately, not all kids
are as blessed to get an education. Their parents cannot afford to do so. It is
a Catch-22 situation. The children work because their parents cannot afford to
send them to school. This results in them not getting a formal education which
results in them working for a low-pay job even in their adult life which
results in those individuals living in poverty for the rest of their life. The
cycle of poverty is never-ending. If I have the chance in the
future, I would like to help those kids. Because I, personally, am really fond
of children, so I would like to help them or to teach them if possible. I would
like to help them get out of the cycle of poverty. I think everyone has a right
to an education. People should not turn a blind eye to child labor; it is a very
serious issue. We should all work together and put a stop to child labor.
