In drama we talked about global issues and began researching ones that we were interested in. I began researching child labor and I found a lot! As a class we decided to focus on a few main global issues. These consisted of poverty, women's rights, 911, child labor, WMD and HIV/AIDS. I am most interested in child labor and women's rights. Both of them upset me because I am a girl and a kid. We deserve to be in school, not sewing nike shoes to be able to pay for one meal for our family. Everyone, like us, takes it for granted and as we're using our child labor made product, we don't even think about it! What kind of a world is this?! It makes me really mad when guys think that just because they are bigger and stronger (most of the time) that they rule the world. It's NOT true! Women are just as smart and without women, males wouldn't even exist! We don't deserve to be pushed around by other people. Sadly, in some places, women are. Since I obviously have an interest in both of these, I will be doing most of my research on them.
