Hello Everyone,
I know it has nothing to do with the course, but I thought I could put something in here to get you to think a little bit!
Here is a riddle I had to do for my poetry course!
Ocean of green light falling dark at night
Lines of bleu skies flies through calm heights
From endless white fights the yellow light
To grow powerful mixes that fixes its magical sight
Producers of wild life who help us survive
Deadly cold holds white snows
Highly seen enemies won’t succeed
Them we have as an unbreakable fortress
Who may I be? It’s yours to see!
Have fun, and if you want the answer, ask me!
Good day to you all,
Carole
As a hint, I can tell you the answer is shown on my blog!

Research Propasal 2
Using Children
The research paper I am about to do about child labour, will bring forward what still lacks in the regulations about child labour in the United States of America today, by examining and analysing what has been done and tried and what has not. Plus, I will try to bring new ideas forward, in order to abolish child labour completely from United States based on researches made by scholars.
To help my audience understand the specific vocabulary and certain ideas brought in up in the paper, I will produce an appendix and end notes that will explain more in depth certain ideas or points made by the scholars I will base my research paper on.
This topic really came out of nowhere. I am a person that is interested in so many different subjects that I did not know what I was going to do with that research. However, while searching the Internet, I saw those two words, and read about it. It seemed pretty interesting and I could not stop thinking about it. People’s right is something that really touches me deeply, especially children’s right. As soon as I read what it was, I wanted to learn more about it, and I feel like I need to. It’s worth my time and any anybody else’s time, because I think not enough people know about the subject, including me. It is a way for me to learn something new and to get other people to know about it as well. In a way, I want to teach something to the ones that will read my paper and my blog about child labour and children rights in the United States of America. Moreover, I want them to become concerned about that subject, because while reading about it, I became concerned.

Moreover, I want them to become concerned about that subject, because while reading about it, I became concerned.
In addition, when I was a child, my parents gave me little jobs to do around the house and with their company. I asked them myself because I wanted pocket money, and that I knew they had to pay someone to do the job anyway. It was not hard physically or mentally nor dangerous, plus it was never more than four hours a week and it was not every week. Moreover, it made me more responsible than other children my age, because I had a deadline to follow. That is why, I feel the need to dig deeper into that subject, in order to understand and learn how abusing children mentally, emotionally and physically, through work, at a really young age, was once admissible and is still not as strictly regulated as it should be, according to many scholars.
The first step is to read about child labour in the United States, in order to discover enough information to have a complete research paper. My second step is, as I am going to read, take notes on my computer, by numbering the texts I will read and match my notes with the text number. Then as a third step, when I will be done finding my information, I will revise the information found in order to stay as close as possible to my thesis statement, because I can end up having too much information for a 12 page paper, plus the information might not all be relevant to my thesis statement. After taking notes on what is important, my fourth step will be writing my first draft, not a complete 12 page, because I want to keep a certain freedom. As a fifth step, I will have my revising team reading it. I might finish a part, have them read it, correct it, get them to read it again, and then present the other parts, and so on. Then, the sixth part will be writing the final version and show it to my revising team again, prepare a sheet with questions for them to answer, so I will know I have included only important information and I have answered all their questions about child labour. Then, I will compile their answers, will put the final touches, go to the writing center for final correction and I will give it in.

Notes: Review of the literature
Unfinished Business : The Persistence of Child Labor in the US written by Hugh D. Hindman a professor of Labor & Human Resources at the Appalachian State University in Boone, USA.
MLA bibliography: Hindman, Hugh D. "Unfinished Business: The Persistence of Child Labor in the U. S." Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal 18.2 (2006): 125-31. 31 January 2007 <http://www.springerlink.com/content/y785x9773w618067/fulltext.pdf>
"This essay assesses residual child labor problems in the Us today"
Child labor vs. child work
Child work: work that can be beneficial for children or at least nor harmful
Child labor: harmful work
“Convention #182 of the International Labor Organization condemns certain forms of child labor including slavery, sale and trafficking of children, debt bondage and other forms of forced labor, child prostitution and pornography, and use of children in illicit activities such as drug trafficking, and recommends the act of placing children in these situations be criminalized.”Child labor is anything that can harm a child physically, mentally or morally according to Convention #182 of the ILO. Plus, any form of work by a child under ten years old is considered as being child labor, and all children under eighteen are protected against hazardous work.
Historically
Even though the progress was really slow, by the mid-30’s, children under fourteen were removed from the mines, mills and factories, and with all the other regulations by 1938 the child labor was removed completely from the mines, mills and factories. Children became “economically worthless but priceless emotionally”
Today
Most common freelance jobs held by girls is babysitting and by boys yard work. Other jobs such as snow shovelling, chores and odd jobs, newspaper routes and pet care are held by children nowadays. Most of these jobs held by children between twelve and sixteen are seen as a tool for children to learn to take responsibilities, gain independence and self-confidence, among other values.
But there are still children that are illegally unemployed in the United States every year and that are abused by their bosses. The most common violation is excessive hours combined with hazardous work.
Child labor in Agriculture
Child labor on family farms remains today unregulated. Children of any age can work an amazing amount of hours after school. There are three groups of farm work. Children working on family farms, seasonal workers and migrant workers, and it is more dangerous for a children working on the family farm, because they are more likely to be permitted to do hazardous work.
Other jobs were children face a rate of fatality higher than adults are in construction, were it is twice as dangerous for a children that for an adult, for that reason children under eighteen are banned from the construction jobs, in sweatshops and in child prostitution and child traffic, which are regulated, but authorities face difficulties stopping all of it.
Conclusion
Child labor is most often seen as something from the past, but it still exists unfortunately, and the causes are numerous.
