Married... with Children

Child labor and sexual exploitation of children could easily be considered some of the worst crimes against humanity. A movie directed by Bill Bilheimer, titled "Not My Life" argues "there are more than 190 countries in the world, and virtually all of them enslave children… within or across their borders" (Video). "Not my Life" is a movie depicting exploitation, abuse, and mistreatment of children around the world. Filmed in many different countries, "Not My Life" portrays various forms of…

Human Trafficking is not strictly focused on sexual or labor trafficking, there are many other forms of Human Trafficking including domestic servitude, forced marriage and forced, bonded and child labor. These crimes highly affect women and young children from any range of ages. It is important to know that Traffickers do not simply focus on one specific stereotype or areas of a community. Rather they target what they can acquire on their own through their threats or forms of coercion, the use…

Forced labor is illegal, yet so many people are subjected to it. The majority of those people are migrants and indigenous people. There are about 168 million children around the world who are victims of forced labor. Over 85 million are working in hazardous environment. Nobody is around to ensure their safety because their employers know that they can always find someone else if that child dies ("Forced Labour, Human Trafficking and Slavery"). All of this people are vulnerable and taken…

“A war is when the government tells the people who the enemy is, a revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.” This was not true in the case of 12 year old Ishmael Beah who not only had to figure out who the enemy was, but also had to escape the trials of danger that came along with being at both ends of an AK-47. No child at that young age would deliberately put themselves in a situation where kill or be killed was their daily life motto. I think the child soldiers were highly unaware…

#6 Child Soldiers, Should They be given Amnesty Child soldiers are a big problem in the world, and the question is that if they should be given amnesty? Child soldiers are normal children from the start, they play and do what children do, but what happens is that they are abducted or they join a rebel group or an army because they need food because their families were killed and they have nowhere else to go, or they were abducted. Child soldiers SHOULD be given amnesty because they have nowhere…

It was a bright sunny Saturday morning, waking up hearing the birds chirping outside. The sun was shining through the windows throughout the house. I can remember sitting in the living room in a tan recliner facing the Tv. When I heard the phone ring the first time, it was around ten o’clock in the morning; I looked over to see my mom running to the home phone that used to sit on the desk in the laundry room. It rang three times before my mom answered. The second time was around 12:30 in the…

after being rescued by UNICEF is possibly quite similar to the traumatic stories of many of “about 250,000 children employed in armed factions worldwide” (Taylor 869). Sociology of the life course effectively assesses what happens to these children when they are separated from their familiar families and surroundings. I believe the following information explains the transition of the children from their family lives to that of child soldiers. “The changes result from individual and societal…

AFTER PINK=CITED QUOTE All around the world there are desperate children being abducted and brainwashed into child soldiers. Children as young as 5 are taken, given a gun and told to kill others or die. If these kids do get rescued by peacekeepers they go into rehabilitation. Child soldiers deserve amnesty because they were just desperate children who were abducted and brainwashed into killing. Around the world innocent children 5-18 are being terribly captured. Captured then drugged with…
