Post 8: Personal Opinion

Hi everyone, in this moment I will answer two question, and I will give my opinion about this two topics:





What is your opinion about child labor?



Firts of all, we must consider that children should not work as an obligation, since according to the rights of the child, all children have the right to be protected from the child exploitation, and they should not work until they reach a legal age. Nevertheless sometimes they need work to survive, because  the family's salary is not enough to cover bassic needs, In cases like these, children can be allowed to work, as long as they want and are not forced to work againts their will.

For example, when I was a child I loved going to sell at the streetmarket, because it entertained me and also helped my family taking my own  money.

In conclusion, I think that no child should work by obligation of third parties, however, if work does the child happy and also adds income to the family, could be allowed as an exception





What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’?





Talking about the "mechoneo chileno" is a complicated issue, because in Chile, this ritual of admission to university, is a tradition where diverses games are played wich include humiliation and violence towards new students, but nevertheless it has a social acceptance and the "mechoneo" was not questioned about five years ago.

In my opinion, I think that the "mechoneo" should end, and be remplaced by a less violent but equally fun activity, because nobody has the right to humiliate another person for the simple reason of having more seniority in the university.
