NEWS: HUMAN RIGHTS

link

According to the International Labour Organisation there are 260 million children working around the world, and 170 million of them are engaged in child labour. Of course that Child labour is forbidden but in most of underdeveloped countries this is a usual practice.
But the situation is improving; child labour  figures have dropped by a 30%.

This modern slavery exists because, according to the guardian, fast fashion has engendered a race to the bottom, pushing companies to find ever-cheaper sources of labour. There are so many girls, usually in India, that are being lied to by the big companies with fake promises; they promise them a decent home, food and a good salary, but of course none of this is true.

Most of children who work in this factories are under 15, because in cotton's factories they are more useful because they have tiny fingers.

COMMENT:

In my opinion, I Think all this is society's fault because in these undeveloped countries the capitalism is very hard, and because nobody protects the lower class; all this is caused by the first world enterprises which want more productivity and a lower price. If the governments of these countries don't act, this will keep happening, but who cares if the children are slaved if the big fish can keep making money?
Actually, this doesn't happen in our country but we should do something for help, but obviously we need to be together.

Education is the key, School is the lock

Once Suli said: "as long as you follow the rules and pass the exams, you're cool. But are you aware that examiners have a check list? And if your answer is something outside of the box, the automatic response is a cross", and he was right.

Teachers, examiners, profesors... They all have a check list and if you think a little bit far, a little bit different you automaticlly win a cross. Make exams is difficult, usually you only pass exams by regurgitate on it the response and you need to be sure that the response is inside the box. 

Education needs a change, a big one; students tired, teachers are tired, parents are tired, everybody is tired and anybody cares about it. Also, it's clear that this education mode doesn't work because the results that we are getting are so low. The exams only consist in study and regurgitate facts and I'm so tired of this; one single exam can decide if you are in or not, if you are good or not, if you are intelligent or not. I'm so f***ing sick of this.

I don't know but I need a change, WE need a change, I can't hold it no more. It is so stressful! I can't remember everything and It is unfair.

It is unfair.

I need a change.
