Teen activists work to fight for their cause in different ways. Some of them have support from their parents, some work groups or make organizations, and some just work alone. One of the teen activist that works with her dad is Malala Yousafzai. Malala’s dad was always with her no matter what and even in her interview on the Daily Show, Jon had said that he knows that her dad was backstage. This piece of evidence shows that her dad always stayed with her no matter where Malala went. Malala's dad “was great encouragement for” her “because he...spoke out for women’s right.” This information shows that her dad always was with her although he knew that he could have been killed supporting her daughter. Her dad also cared about his daughter’s …show more content…
An activist who did that was Kylee McCumber who made a team of big kids, a team of little kids and a team of adults who helped make Kid Kits to help feed hungry kids. She had seen many kids eating at school before school started and where she talked to the principal about this matter, she got to know that many kids could not afford to eat at home or they did not have the money to eat at home and could only eat at school. She made a big team to raise money so that she could help feed the kids who are hungry. Kylee McCumber started out with 10 kids and now she feeds 204 which “costs around $900 to provide a full week of food to the kids and that is to get them through Friday and Saturday.” In the video that she had said this you could see Kylee McCumber packing bags of food with her organization to give and deliver to the kids. This is another way that teen activist work to fight for their …show more content…
He was sold when he was really small, so he did it have any parental support or support from anyone he knew. Although he did not have any support when he started protesting he had support from outsiders and when he came to the US he had support from kids at school and other people. Iqbal worked at a carpet factory and “when Iqbal was 10 years old he made up his mind to escape.” When he got out he went to the local police immediately to tell how the owner beat the kids and “unfortunately, the police officer was more willing to receive the ‘finder’s fee’ for escaped slaves and returned Iqbal” to his owner. This fact reveals that although police officers are supposed to help people they showed no support to Iqbal and sent him back to the place with “endured hot, cramped conditions, air filled with wool debris and countless whippings, beatings and cuttings”. This also showed that Iqbal had no support from anyone because nobody gave him a good life and sent him back to work. Although he worked alone at the start, he got support later on which is another way of working for you cause. After Iqbal left the USA, he was shot in front of his grandma’s house because he spoke out against child labor. Although Iqbal knew that it was dangerous to go to Pakistan he wanted to end where he started. After the group of kids in school that Iqbal gave his speech to heard that Iqbal had been assassinated they wanted to do
Iqbal Masih was just four years old when his single mother used him as collateral on a loan between a local employer of a carpet weaving factory in Pakistan to pay for her eldest son’s wedding. For the six long years he was employed, a typical workday included at least 14 hour shifts for six days a week with only one 30 minute break. Even though Iqbal lived under terrible conditions and the relentless threats of abuse, his mother had no choice but to keep borrowing money from the employer to make ends meet at home.
Iqbal Masih started his child labour journey at a very young age. At just four years old he was forced out of his home, away from his family, to work for a wealthy carpet maker, to whom his family owed a total of six hundred rupees, sixteen Canadian dollars. Iqbal and a large amount of children were forced to work more than twelve hours a day, six days a week. The over worked children were treated like rubbish. They were beaten regularly, verbally abused, and worst of all chained to their looms by the carpet factory owner. If that wasn’t enough the poor clueless children were cheated into working insane hours and were paid twenty cents a day, and that’s only if they make a certain amount of product. If that wasn’t awful enough, the children had to pay for their own food. Leaving the children to starve and pay off their debt sooner, or slave for more money so they can eat a meal of rice. After eight years of being over worked and beaten Iqbal ran away from his master, to the police, after learning child labour was illegal, Iqbal went back to his owner’s factory with police reinforcements. Iqbal was astounded when he saw his master bribing the police. Iqbal expressed to Francesco D'Adamo how he felt his stomach tighten and how fear took over his body because he knew he would be in trouble with his master. Iqbal was punished severally for his escape attempt but this only motivated him more. He escaped once more and this time he knew he had to make it count. Iqbal ran off to the BBLF, the Bonded Labour Liberation Fund, here they offered Iqbal a safe place to stay. Although Iqbal Masih passed away at a young age, he nevertheless left his mark on the world by travelling around the world to raise awareness for child labour, insp...
The role of the father, a male figure in a child’s life is a very crucial role that has been diminishing over the years. An absent father can be defined in two ways; the father is physically not present, or the father is physically present, but emotionally present. To an adolescent, a father is an idolized figure, someone they look up to (Feud, 1921), thus when such a figure is an absent one, it can and will negatively affect a child’s development. Many of the problems we face in society today, such as crime and delinquency, poor academic achievement, divorce, drug use, early pregnancy and sexual activity can be attributed to fathers being absent during adolescent development (Popenoe, 1996; Whitehead, 1993). The percentage of adolescents growing up fatherless has risen from 17% to 36% in just three decades between 1960 and 1990 (Popenoe, 1996). Dr. Popenoe estimates this number will increase to approximately 50% by the turn of the century (Popenoe, 1996). The US Census Bureau reported out of population of 24 million children, 1 out 3 live in a home without a father (US Census Bureau, 2009).
father is important to the story because now he has someone whom he can consistently depend
A father’s role in a child’s life is extremely important when it comes to a child’s development. With so much emphasis placed on young black boys needing their fathers during crucial developmental ages, the rate of our young black girls growing up without fathers is staggering and overlooked. What is an absent father? The definition is quite simple; an absent father can be defined as a father who is not present in the life of their child whether it is physically, emotionally, or both. Although the absence of a father is detrimental in any child’s life, the absence of such in a young black girl’s life is even more crucial. The absent father in a black girl’s life leads to, in some cases, promiscuity and teenage pregnancy, poverty, and emotional affects such as feelings of unworthiness and unable to be loved, fear of abandonment, and issues with rejection and commitment. The ways in which they view the opposite sex, the outside world and their self are forever tainted as a result of missing the key element of a father.
In the biography, the narrator writes about his childhood life, and how he tries to live up to his dad who he never met. In theory, mothers and fathers are very essential in child development. Mothers are there to nature and provide for a child; while fathers are there to give guidance and be a role model. There are two kinds of
In the short story The Father by Hugh Garner there is boy who’s father is not involved in his life. This is mostly because he is always drunk. Because of this Johnny, the father’s son, has not really been able to connect with his father. He is never there for Johnny when he needs him and is always embarrassing him. This made me really sad as I cannot imagine living without a loving father. I do not think that anyone should have to live without the care of their father. I can only imagine how sad that Johnny must have felt to not have a good father in his life. It must have been very hard for Johnny to see all of the other scout and their father’s at the banquet, knowing that he would never have a good father-son relationship with his dad. The fact that he did not feel comfortable asking his dad to come to the scouts banquet himself,
When he was four years old when he was called in from play to be sold from his parents for extra cash for his older brother’s wedding. His family had to sell him to a rug maker to work off a loan of about twelve dollars in U.S. cash. Iqbal had to work a year entirely without pay, then after, he was “paid” twenty cents per day, that means if he made a mistake, he was fined so he didn’t really make any money. Then, by the time he was ten, his loan grew to about two-hundred sixty bucks. During work which is six days a week, fourteen hours a day, They had poor conditions like poor light, no ventilations, heat, unfiltered air, and many more. Even Iqbal himself explains his work explained in the article, Pats Eduent, “Even sick children were not allowed to rest. They also hung children upside down until they got sicker. Children were beaten. If children fell asleep or were slow in their work, they would be punished by being beaten or starved.” Then in 1992 the Bonded Labor LIberation Front let him free at age ten. When he was out, he was sick and frail, half the height of a ten year old, and stopped growing. Iqbal also had arthritis with kidney and breathing problems, plus his spine was permanently curved, with scars and cuts from the tools. He then became an activist against child labor and risked pretending to be a factory worker so he could get information about the children working there, or to even help escape. Iqbal also helped free about three thousand child laborers from all sorts of factories, and became a good speaker and explained his experiences in BLLF meetings and journalists. He also visited the U.S. from Sweden to Massachusetts. But when he arrived back in Pakistan, his life, was cut short. Some people say the carpet factory worker murdered him, but nobody really. Iqbal was an inspiration to many people, plus some people planned to build a school in his home area to
Daru’s story starts when he is fired from his job at a bank after being rude to a customer and, although he is willing to break the law to make money, he remains too proud to take a lower-paying job. Eventually, he loses the ability to pay his bills, and along with that, the ability to call himself one of Pakistan’s elite. His life slowly disappears before his eyes as his home loses air conditioning, leaving him vulnerable to the extreme heat of Pakistan. Shortly after losing his job, Daru decides to start dealing drugs to make money on the side to pay for air condition and other bills. I argue this is evidence of a country that is run by the elite.

Initially, Father is her world. As she helps him care for the foxes, she does not call him Daddy; she calls him Father. The name Father commands respect and formality. Munro writes, ". . . I was shy of him and would never ask him questions. Nevertheless I worked willing under his eyes, and with a feeling of pride" (112). Although eager and happy to spend time with her father, Munro reveals here that she does not have a close relationship with her fath...
The role of a father in his child’s life extends past the knowledge of far too many, and can oftentimes be eclipsed by the role of the mother. Although the mother’s role is essential and greatly valued in a child’s life and development, the father plays a significant role as well. No mother can fill the father’s place in a child’s heart, for fathers nurture and play differently than a mother. Several studies show that an attentive and highly involved father is critical, especially in the early stages of a child’s life. The absence of a father during this stage can lead to “impaired social and behavioral abilities in adults” (Robert, 2013).
Research over the years has emphasized the role family has upon children within a family system. The role a mother plays for her children has been researched continuously for decades, often neglecting the impact of the father. With this lack of knowledge surrounding a father's paternal responsibilities and implications as a nurturer, it is important to examine the consequences of their actions on their children's future. Recently, research has begun to include the father's role, in particular to their daughter and features they look for in their romantic counterparts. If this research were to establish that young girls follow their father's prototype when choosing a romantic partner, parenting styles may change and fathers might become more involved. More importantly, fathers would know their role as not just the provider for material things but for emotional and psychological stability. Father daughter relationships are an important area to research because reports show that father involvement can be vital to children, improving their social skills and future adult relationships.
Activism is not where you originate from or where you are located, it’s what you do. Activism allows us to make social changes; this can occur in many different ways.
