Note
Some options in articulating the issues that workers face in the Global South is to point out the rising inequality between the Global North and the Global South. Many nations in the Global South have not participated in globalization and as a result the gulf between them and the developed world has widened. The governments of the Global North should be more inclusive in terms of doing business with and trading with the Global South so as to promote equality. These views could be presented to governments and employers through grassroots activist groups and by supporting companies that engage with the Global South so as to give them a better economic opportunity. Corporate social responsibility programs should be developed to help the Global South gain a foothold in the global marketplace. Consumers have the power...
If companies dont want to support laborers in the Global South, consumers can boycott their products.
Response
Going to the press with stories about inequalities in the Global South could help, but the press is often controlled by the same powerful groups that operate within the realm of big finance and the corporate world. So a better solution might simply be for consumers to boycott companies that facilitate this oppression. Consumers have more power than they realize in most cases. Hit the companies in the pocketbook and they will listen.
Response 2
Communication is always key to the advancement of any agenda. In this case, I would say that consumers can do a lot to advance their aims by refusing to buy the products of companies that fail to help the Global South. Boycotting does have an effect. And it would get the attention of companies that focus on developing corporate social responsibility programs.

Child Labor Define child and labor separately. Child labor in the United States has long been a subject of concern. The U.S. enacted strict child labor statutes in 1938 (Labor, 2009), and has continued to enforce that law. However, there remain problems at home in the U.S. And abroad. The United States seeks to enforce the law, but there are times when it is difficult to catch perpetrators of violations. However, the
Child Labor and Society: A Detrimental Situation Child labor is detrimental to the well-being of the subject as well as the society to which he belongs. Throughout history, sundry civilizations have borne witness to the harsh reality termed as "child labor." The agrarian realm enlisted the help of small hands from the beginning of time. Innocent children as young as six or seven persevered in arduous working conditions on farms. However,
However, by comparison, children in America have much better conditions that children in Africa who rarely receive payment for their services and most often they are deprived of any schooling activity or leisure time (Child Labor: when it is right/wrong?, n.d.). The actors involved in the process of child labor include the states which allow this, most of them being African and Asian states, as well as the international organizations
It was public outrage stemming from the fact that an already wealthy celebrity would use child labor to further acquire wealth that caused Ms. Gifford to react. It was a very highly publicized case, and in a journal article appearing in a 1998 edition of Afterimage, journalist Rebecca Schreiber commented this way: Every so often, an event like the Kathy Lee Gifford scandal uncovers the whole line of production, bringing
Istanbul's native born has made little or not contribution to the population growth due to its near or below-replacement levels of reproduction (Population pp). Child prostitution is a world wide urban social phenomenon and is considered one of the worst contemporary forms of slavery (Kantay Pp). Moreover, child prostitution is one of the most difficult and dangerous forms of child labor (Kuntay Pp). Due to the invisibility of the children involved,
Child labor is condemned across the globe, but is it fair for a multinational to terminate relationships with suppliers when incidents arise regarding the use of child workers, regardless of the implications to the community as a whole? It is fair for a multinational to cease doing business with suppliers that fail to comply with ethical labor practices. This does not mean that an isolated violation justifies doing so when the
