Working Children

Child labor is a very serious issue that most third world countries are facing nowadays . These children are being exposed to hard work so early on in their lives because they do not have any choice . They come from poor families that do not have any means of providing enough food for the whole family and they , in turn , resort to working just to have something to eat everyday

The website provided different images depicting the same pressing problem , which is child labor . The world has been constantly changing

and improvements are made everyday but it seems that the problem of child labor is being left behind . Personally , I have not been exposed to dangerous working conditions nor did I work as a child . My family also does not have a history that involves child labor . However , this does not make it hard to feel sympathy for the children and anger towards those governments who allow this to happen to their young citizens . As a person who has lived in a developing country , I have also become familiar with these situations . I can say that these images affect my desire to work in the area of environmental and occupational health . I may not be able to help every child exposed to hard , illegal work but I would be able to make a difference one child at a time through determination and commitment

Feeling sympathy is not enough to solve the problem . One has to take specific actions to contribute to the improvement of the situation There are so many ways to help if only people find the time . It should be remembered that we cannot move forward if there are others who are helplessly left behind . After all , it is not their fault that they are in that situation
