Particularly vulnerable groups were the old, who had no means of acquiring money. The young, were dependant on their parents’ financial status and good will, if they were not orphans. Seasonal workers were vulnerable due to the cyclical nature of their employment. Anyone who suffered from illness either long or short term fell into poverty because there were no sickness benefits. Women were another vulnerable group because they were always paid at a lower rate than men.
Now in 2011, these workers make a dollar fifty an hour. The Filipinos were the very first group to go on strike for higher wages, but that was a fail. So everyone decided not to go to work; it did work for a while, but it was still the violence and prejudice that hindered them from succeeding. In the documentary, “Chicano: Struggle in the fields” talks about how hard life was for these migrant workers. Getting treated like property, no respect or dignity, completely invisible to all growers, and seen as lazy, ignorant, stupid, dirty, and poor and that’s one of the reasons why they were migrant workers; they also got treated like crap.
It is easy to see why this is a hotly debated subject because death is not to be taken lightly. Opponents worry about the ethical and moral implications. They consider P.A.S. to be immoral and violating God’s will. Catholics believe that life is the most basic gift God has given to us and in return we are to take care of our own health; but in our lives, “we are not morally obligated to use all available medical procedures in every set of circumstances.” (ProCon.org).
She must figure out by herself how to obtain food, clothing, and shelter; yet this is extremely common within young campesinos for they are often found to be homeless and malnourished. Many Honduran women adjust their lives according to the wishes of a man by working in the home, and tending to their every need. They are viewed as inferior to men and have more difficulty finding a source of income. With no money and her academic knowledge only stretching as far as the second grade, Elvia lacks the basic resources necessary to obtain a financially stable life. Unaware of the physical natural process of young females and the ideas of contraception, Elvia becomes pregnant at the age of 15 and must find a way to provide a life for her and her unborn child.
Whether it was to try to help their parents make more money, or to feed themselves, they would work. Some of the problems the workers would have were the lack of time and of money. They worked under very poor conditions, and did not have many privileges. Incidents like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory had major effects on the way the escapes in buildings were designed. Anyways all these incidents, made a difference, the government
The earning of the workers even after inflation have risen by just a small margin, making the living standards of the workers low, some of them unable to even provide for their families while others stay with their parents even after employment. Other workers have faced and met their death at their places of wok for lack of proper precautions especially those working under dangerous conditions like construction sites. Exploitation has moved to a whole new level where safety standards have been totally disregarded and workers have been left t work in conditions not suitable to work in. The safety equipments that the firms invest in are cheap and unsafe which they acquire so that their profits margins remain high. They on the other hand cannot fail to work because they have people looking up to them to provide and support.
MLK Responces 1. Injustice anywhere is always a threat to justice everywhere because there is still that fear of oppression that people are dealing with. Injustice is this situation is trying to be kept hidden because the white moderate and church just feel that they do not need to get involved. There will never be complete Justice until all of the Injustice is removed so all people have the equal rights and oppression will not be something that people would have to go against.

The 'working poor,' as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure deprivation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be
We also learn a bit about Mr Ewell. Lee states earlier on, ?The varmints had a lean of it, for the Ewell?s gave the dump through gleaning every day? This suggests that the Ewells live of the town?s dump which isn?t a very hygienic way of living, but then again Mr Ewell is an unemployed alcoholic. As we are told earlier, ?No public health officer could free them from congenital defeats, various worms and diseases indigenous to filthy surroundings? Mr Ewell is a terrible father due to his abusiveness and neglect.
These companies violate human rights by employing people in improper working environment and providing them with low wages (Chartier 2006). Usually, sweatshops are the factories where working conditions are extremely poor and dangerous. The workers have remarkably few rights and receive a very small wage or salary for long hours of hard work. These organizations often break human rights by providing limited benefits for workers. Sweatshops are attracted by the people of rural and poor areas, immigrants and the people of rapidly growing cities
