Favorite Discussion- Blog 18

So far in class we discuss a lot of cultural elements from the Victorian Era that we seen it self repeating in our time. But what I enjoy learning about was about child labor back then . I know it is not something I should like but I like learning about how the conditions and the treatments towards younger kids were . In my head the question “why would some one want to put their kid in situations like that and was it that bad for parents to not have a choice and send their kids out to work.” It also made me think how would things been if we had let this continue and have young children work like they did then . How would of things been different than they already are today . Seeing those pictures in class about kids who couldn’t even reach a top counter were at work , working with machine ten times their size was insane . But I love learning about the past to be appreciative about the things I didn’t have to deal with at that age .
