While children under siege mainly has been affected from shortage of food and medical supply, children living in West Bank which under occupation have to live in pressure as the curfews forces them to stay at home for days and weeks. Children suffer from lack of food, medical treatment, not being able to go to school and the freedom playing on the streets due to the frequent curfews. Children there also live in fear as Israel forces destroy homes. Education lifestyle of Palestinian children under occupied territories is the most significant. Children lives in fear, stress, depress and suffer from psychosocial problems as they have to face violence and military outpost near their school and their housing areas.
Society in the Industrial Revolution - Child Labour Orphan children were most vulnerable to exploitation, as they couldn't fend for themselves. Due to their helplessness, they were forced to work in factories. Families sent their children to work in factories due to being trapped by poverty. The children were sent to the factories which put them under poor conditions and they received little pay to support their working families. Factories were very poor health and safety wise, therefore the child 'slaves' didn't have suitable working conditions, severely affecting their health in short term and long term.
Yet, Says a New Book, Their Misery Helped Forge Britain.” N.p., 17 Sept. 2010. Web. 26 Sept. 2014. This article explains how children were treated cruelly and unjustly while working. They suffered much pain they had to endure and be silent.
Large, heavy, and dangerous equipment was very common for children to be using or working near. Many accidents occurred in the factories, in some extreme cases children could die from working the machines, breathing in poisons gases or being abused by higher management. The treatment of children in factories was often unpleasant and cruel, and the children’s safety was generally ignored. Both boys and girls who worked in factories were subject to beatings and other harsh forms of pain. It wasn’t till the factory act of 1833 did things start to improve.
The government does not provide education, health care or ways for them to earn money to get out of poverty. Some families just believe that child labour is not harmful and they encourage children to work which they soon regret. From research I have discovered that; 8.4 million children are trapped in slavery, trafficking, debt bondage, prostitution, pornography and other illicit activities. The number of children involved in armed conflicts has increased to about 300,000 over the past decade. Between 40 and 50 per
These Sociologists saw the discontent from these people and the despair on their faces. They couldn’t afford anything and even had to have their children work. Their children would be forced to work machines and would be chained to them to prevent escape. This would obviously be a sociological problem that would need fixing. This once again caused people to look at their lives and try to discover answers.
As mentioned above there are many reasons why a child lives in poverty, and we will now look at these in more detail. The five main groups all have one thing in common, which is lack of resources. This can be due to the adults not having a job, being unable to work as they have a disability, or not being eligible to work in the country. A large amount of the information used has been taken from the Banardos website. Many people who are out of work rely on state benefits to survive, and if they have children these benefits often are not enough to keep the family above the poverty line, hence the children suffer by lacking basic essentials such as new school uniforms, schoolbooks, pens, pencils etc, and therefore their education suffers.
Many EMGs are classed as working class families meaning social deprivation can often happen. The lack of money can often mean that families cannot afford the extra things which may aid their child in education. These are things could be as simple as books or stationary or not owning a computer, therefore having no access to the internet. As working class EMG families are on low incomes, children may not have the same experiences as working class children, missing out on holidays and trips to places such as museums and galleries. Many EMG children also do not have that initial push of how important education is for them.
The Separation of Children from Dignity by Poverty The minds of children are so very sensitive to everything that they encounter. The rest of a child’s life may be affected by what most adults may consider insignificant events and happenings in their own lives. Imagine what damage could be done by large-scale issues like poverty and homelessness. As author Melanie Scheller explains, “Poor white trash were viciously stereotyped, and never more viciously than on the playground… don’t get near them or you might catch [ringworm and pink-eye]” (356). How is a child to learn the meaning of having friends or of dignity growing up this way?
Describe the challenges of living in mega cities and evaluate the responses to these challenges. It is evident that developing countries have been hit hard through the globalisation period as their developing economies are under pressure to become internationally competitive which is raising unemployment and destroying their agriculture and manufacturing sectors, in these instances large numbers of the population are internally migrating to capital cities in hope for employment and a better life. In many cases this results in a mega city. A mega city is defined as a area of urban development with a population of over ten million. Mexico City has a population of 19.5 million, with an expectation of it reaching 21.6 million in 2015.
