Prohibition has been an issue in the United States for alomst 75 or 80 years now. The government has made laws that makes drugs and alcohol illegal, but people still want/need the stuff so they do it anyways. Our government doesn't enforce the laws very well either so then no one gets caught. There is no point in having a prohiition on something if no one follows the law. The government either needs to enforce the laws more or just get rid of them because there is no point in having a law if no one enforces or follows it.
That is horrible though. I mean did they ever think when they were between the ages of 7 and 12 what they were doing. Well whatever it was they probably weren't being forced to work in dangerous factories. They really should have thought about forcing kids to work before they did it.
Exaclty kids that young should not be put to work. Also, no one ever thinks that kids their age are making our clothes for almost no pay and we take it all for granted. Its horrible. Kids should not be forced to work or allowed to work until they are around the age of 14 or 15 years old.
I agree! The Panama Canal allowed us to create planes, tranes, and many other forms of transportation. We would still be traveling by horse possibly! It is a very good thing that we made the canal. Who knows what it would be like without it.
The movie All Is Quiet on the Western Front shows how life as a German soldier was like. At the beginning it kind of showed how young boys in school got persuaded into war without knowing what it was or even what it was about. They thought it would be fun, and they wouldn’t have anymore school! But, they soon realized that war was intense and you can’t take it as a joke. Once you are in you aren’t getting out. Surviving without going crazy is another thing they had to figure out. (How to calm themselves down when things got bad). All Is Quiet on the Western Front showed a lot of things you wouldn’t really expect in a war; for example, the huge obsession with boots. It gave you a better understanding of many things dealing with war.

America has been and always will be imperialistic. We tell other countries what we do and that they should do the same because it is the right way. America is wrong, there is no right way. Each country does their own thing and sees everything in a different way. For example, every single country uses the metric system, except America. Why is that you say? Because we like our way better so we didn’t change. That’s how other countries feel. We shouldn’t be pressuring them into doing what we do if they are functioning just fine by doing what they do.

There are still places in the world today that make young children work odd jobs and in factories. We can’t imagine that because kids in America don’t usually work until they are 15 or 16 years old and their jobs are just regular everyday jobs that anyone could be doing. They aren’t put into factories and given little to no pay. The weight of supporting a family is not on their shoulders like it is in other countries. Kids here have it so good and we don’t realize it. Other children are working, fighting, and struggling for their lives while we just live ours like nothing is wrong in the world.
If we never won our independence from Great Britain we would still be in Great Britain, and we definitely would not be speaking English. If our people who traveled and found America hadn’t, and we didn’t fight for our separate “lives” away from Great Britain there would not be such thing as an American. We would be saying things like crumpet or drinking tea every day. Things would be so much different than what they are now.
