Video 1- I personally feel like there really isn’t really solution for this particular video. Why? Because we all have to realize that different rules well apply in other countries. And it’s nothing or anything that anyone can do to change these things. I also think it makes sense in this video because, his country was shorthanded on men. This lead to them having to make the younger guys step up in fight. Does it suck? Yes, it defiantly does, but desperate times comes with desperate measures.

This is the case because, parents don’t really care about their child working, not following what they’re doing, and not really caring for the child. According to the data base, “The first successful national child labor law, was the Keating-Owen Act, which was passed in 1916. But 2 years later it was denied by the Supreme Court. The good thing is, it wasn’t the final attempt to try to get this law approved. The second attempt came in 1922. This goes to show that the people of this time felt that children shouldn’t be working underage as well. Did it ever get approved? The answer to that question is of course it did! This happened in 1938, and they called it the Standards Act. And this act basically set a minimum again for
