The 2015 General Election saw the Conservatives win an overall majority, 12 seats ahead of the Labour party and was said to be the most unpredictable election in a generation. With scores of the population having turned away from traditional styles of voting, a nation of swing voters emerged (Cowley and Kavanagh). Whilst it is true to say that social class and age remain fundamental components, it could also be said that more modern short term factors such as issue voting and the media have…

Florence Kelley’s, United States social worker, main message in this speech is that child labor is a huge issue in our society. She gave this speech at the National Woman Suffrage Association convention to raise awareness for these kids.

They both had physical punishment from their masters. They both worked for no money and with no control over their lives.…

Having heard the testimony about the working conditions of children, I have already voted to change the law to restrict the number of houses which children can work up to 8 hours a day. Being said this as a member of parliament in England, I will also vote a “yes” on proposing the “Ten Hour Bill”, which will allow adults to only work up to ten hours a day instead of thirteen. This bill will allow them to work for only ten hours since they work under poisonous conditions, they will allow them to…

young and some cities and towns are depending on it. Most of these cultures are precariously hanging on to having enough money to feed their families. “Saga estimates that as many as 20,000 families could be affected, since 70 percent of the local market relies on them for work” (Montero). Many cultures would starve to death if seventy percent of their economy comes from manufacturing for Nike and other brands. All together, cultures are affected by people working young.…
