10 Worst Countries for Child Labor


In Social Studies we are learning about Human Rights and one of our topics are Slavery the part that we are currently learning is Forced Child Labour.
So what is Forced Child Labor?
 It is about children being forced to work and to absent school to prevent they're own learning/ they're right to education. But also child labour can be dangerous for children, mentally, socially, and physically, one of the example are, not getting enough rest getting crushed with rocks and dirt in the mines plus inhaling toxic chemicals. Making work children at a very young age is very unacceptable specially to the smaller kids Imagine how young they are and they're working tirelessly, working in brick kilns, carpet factory, and working in mines! Mines that are too dangerous for kids and only grown men should be working. Child labuor must be stopped. Here is the worst Countries for Child Labour, This map shows the location/country of the worst child labour, if you click a pin it will show what type of child labor takes place in that country and an estimated population of children that are in child labour

1. Risa overhears two nurses debating law and human nature. Which argument do you think is the stronger? Why do you think this? Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on law and human nature. I think Nurse Young has a better argument than Nurse Greta. Because people follow the Law, If theirs no rules people will have they're freedom to do what they want it will be chaos without Laws.

 4. What is the role of a mother? Do you think the title of mother is something that should be earned, or a natural right of the woman who gave birth?

Connors experiences in storking is bad, because of what happened to the child who got passed in the neighborhood which have died makes him very considerate to storked babies while Lev's experience is good because they have always accepted storked babies they believe it's a gift from God and Gods plan, making Lev very grateful to storked babies.

Harriet Tubman Research

Part One Triplicate

Part One Triplicate

1.How much brainwashing do you think has happened for teenagers to make this sort of claim as they’re being led to their "death"?  A lot because they think they will still be alive just living in a divided state.

2.Why, do you think, has Shusterman chosen to have three characters tell their story?
I think Shusterman chose to have three characters to show the different perspective of unwinding.

3. Lev is a tithe. This means that he is the 10% that his family will give back to the church as an offering. What are your thoughts on this?  I think because Lev's family is rich they should've used money instead of Lev as a tithe.

4. Rita is a state home kid - she was unwanted at birth, and now the state have decided she is no longer useful. Do you think that the state should ever be able to determine if one life is more useful than another? No, I think the state shouldn't determine and compare if a children is useful or useful than the other, because everybody is useful in a different kind of way.

5. Connor's parents have chosen to unwind him due to his difficult behavior. They have then booked a ticket to the Bahamas. In your opinion, how do parents view their children? Why do you think this? I think Connors parents views him as a pet, a pet that is once cute and adorable but not anymore so giving that pet away is much very useful for others. His parents thought because of his difficult behavior they are not capable to take care Connor (pet) anymore so they just offered him to be unwound.

6.Pastor Dan presents as being conflicted. What reasons might he have to encourage Lev in his journey as a tithe? Why does he encourage him to run? I think Pastor Dan encouraged Lev to run because he want Lev to survive and not get offered as a tithe. Pastor Dan knew that Lev's parents is wrong and offering a child is wrong. Pastor Dan believed that any child should not be used as an offering or a sacrifice .

7.What is the story based on a nursery rhyme that circulates among the youth?  
Humphrey Dunfee is a nursery rhyme that is used to scare kids from being unwound

In the not-too-distant future, teens Connor, Risa, and Lev are on the run for their lives. Following the Second Civil War, between pro-choice and pro-life forces, the United States now allows parents to unwind their unwanted and difficult kids between the ages of thirteen and eighteen: Their bodies are surgically taken apart and all the organs and tissue are used in other people. According to the law, the kids aren't considered dead, they're "living in a divided state." But Connor, Risa, and Lev, and thousands of other teens slated for "unwinding", don't see it that way. They choose instead to "kick AWOL," or run away. Unwind follows these three across the country as they travel together, split up, and meet again when their destinies cross in a Harvest Camp where they are slated to be unwound.
