Child Labor: A Global ProblemThe Current SituationThe article "Christmas Ornaments, Child Labor" by Marjorie Elizabeth Wood, published in the New York Times on December 24th, 2012, sheds light on the issue of child labor in third-world countries. The article highlights that millions of children worldwide are forced to work in hazardous conditions, producing goods such as toys and Christmas ornaments. According to the United Nations, six million children are trafficked into labor each year, and over half of the 215 million laborers under the age of 18 work in hazardous conditions. The White Label MovementTo combat this issue, the article suggests the introduction of a "White Label" movement, where businesses that do not sell products of child labor are given a label. This movement was successful in the early 20th century in the United States, where it raised consumer awareness and helped abolish most industrial child labor. The article suggests that fair-trade labeling could be used to combat child labor in the 21st century global economy. The Role of ConsumersThe article emphasizes that consumers have the power to reverse the trend of global child labor. American consumers, in particular, are the world's largest market for child-labor goods and must lead the way in making ethical purchasing decisions. The article suggests that a public awareness campaign about child-labor-free products could be launched, and an app could be designed to help consumers determine whether products are child-labor-free. The Psychopathic MonsterIn a review of the documentary "The Corporation," the article quotes a statement that the modern business corporation has developed into a psychopathic monster. The article comments on this statement, referring to the documentary and current business news. The article suggests that business interests have managed to thwart serious efforts to curb the problem of child labor abroad. Although many corporations and trade associations have official policies against child labor, they are not advocating for import bans on the products of child labor. ConclusionIn conclusion, child labor is a global problem that needs to be addressed. The article suggests that a White Label movement and fair-trade labeling could be used to combat child labor in the 21st century global economy. Consumers have the power to make ethical purchasing decisions and reverse the trend of global child labor. It is time for businesses to take responsibility and advocate for import bans on the products of child labor.
