Child labor

1. The definition of child labor is the employment of children in an industry or business, especially when illegal or considered exploitative. lots of children work in dangerous  factories that have explosives and should be done by adults not children. the reason that children have to work is because families live in poverty and need to make more money to live. or some parents neglect their children so they need to make money for themselves. some of the negative effects that child labor has of these children are they are always exhausted because they work around 15 hours and they have to time for fun. they work in hazardous places that could injure them permanently or even worse death. i think that children that live in poverty will be exploited in some way and its not right.

micro chipping cats

i dont think that cats should be microchip ed because it doesn't feel right i know that people lose cats and find them and with micro chips the SPCA will be able to track them and get the cat back to the owners but to me some ting just feels wrong i just find it wrong to have a chip inside animals to me i think that nature should not be chipped.

government decisions

this is a google doc i made about the recent government decisions about how the labour party is going to band using plastic bags in new Zealand for six months. my opinion on this is i dont think its a good idea but i dont think its a bad idea i think its a bad idea because it will be hard to find paper bags and i use plastic bags for my rubbish. i think its a good idea because it will help our environment and its will change how people behave like when people want to go shopping they have to think oh hey in need to take my paper bag.
