Currently in China, for example, minimum wage should be no lower than 40% of the average wage for any particular area. In Guangzou and Shenzhen, the first cities that were legally allowed to approach foreign big businesses for investment, the minimum wage to average wage percentage is the lowest in the country.

up and help out their parents (Ansell, 2005, p.9). It was not until the late 190 0s where we saw a reform in favour of children, this reform was the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child, where a draft was started in 1979 for the International year of the child and was fully completed and initiated by all states except the United States in 1989.

International law is a broad body that operates within an anarchic system. It contains two sections of law as well as a multitude of organizations that work within the laws.

The first criterion is the requirement that the offending state must have committed a prior international delinquency against the claimant state. This "delinquency" may but need not be of a violent nature. Having suffered an injury, the claimant state is entitled under customary international law to employ otherwise illegal acts designed to: (1) Enforce obedience to…

International and domestic law are not perfect instruments to fight against cyberattacks, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents and weapons, terrorism finance, or terrorism in general, the private sector and civilian population has to be involved.

In the classic boomerang, a violation against human rights is committed by the state causing internal and external protests to occur, the state is then pressured to succumb to the demands of the people and enact change (Godoy, Feb 07). When applied to the Wells Fargo/Seattle case the boomerang misses the initial step because abuse has yet to happen and the final step because Wells Fargo did not follow the demands of the protestors. In Latin America, the boomerang was a powerful tool used to…

Drone Wars: The Ethical Tug of War Unseen, unmanned, just as, if not more, lethal as any other weapon of war. Although there are benefits to using unmanned vehicles, also known as drones, to make assaults on enemies, there are plenty of ethical and moral dilemmas that come along with them. Although drones save soldiers lives, they also put more civilian lives in danger, and in turn, cause more civilian casualties than if foot soldiers were used. Along with civilian casualties being a major…

In Canada, it is 27 degrees outside. To a Canadian, that sounds great there would be kids playing outside with T-shirts and shorts. To an American, however, the situation is different. Most people would be inside with the heater turned on. How could the situation be so different? In Canada, they use the metric system of measurement. The Metric System is a measurement system that is based on the number 10 and used in most countries including most of Europe, Japan, China, and many other nations.…
