We also have not only adults working as slaves ,but children being used for in working in fields ,and abused by being forced or brainwashed to help or using their bodies to ship either drugs ,or they are being used for prostitution.

    Sweatshops In The 1800s

    The exploitation of human beings for personal or corporate gain has been a constant and bloody stain throughout humanity’s history. In the past, exploitation focused on slavery - the forced labour of captured beings with little to no regard for their needs. This practice died out largely in the 1800s, though not entirely, and the focus has switched to sweatshop factories. The practice of sweatshop labour - difficult and/or dangerous labour by a group of workers where more than one labour law is being broken - grew after the industrial revolution when workplaces moved away from the cottage industry to assembly lines and mass production. Sweatshop labour remains to this day a driving force of poverty, especially in developing or ‘Third World’…

By removing the flag, we are publicly showing that the nation does not support these ideas. However, people do have the right to fly the flag on their own property due to the first amendment.

    Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I am Paige Wacaster. Within our community we are very worried about what is going to happen if and when we integrate. At the negro school there are many negro teachers that could possibly lose their jobs due to integration. Once integration happens the negro school will lose students because they will be going to the white school. Considering that, there will be less students to teach at the negro school which means they won’t need as many teachers, and as a result of that the teachers will lose their jobs.…

    Children all over the world are engaged in a great number of activities classifiable as work. The activities vary from relatively harmless activities like helping parents in their domestic chores, to morally and physically exploiting ones like soldiering and prostitution. If we leave out the former, we are left with what are generally called "economic" activities. Of these economic activities, less than 4 percent of all working children, are estimated to be engaged in what ILO (International Labour Organisation) defines as the "unconditional" worst forms of child labour. The absolute number of children estimated to be engaged in the latter is, however, a stunning 8.4 million.…
