SPA Policy Blog Paragraph

One policy that i wish could be changed is the curfew time. Curfew is meant for those who do not know how to manage their time. Curfew is meant for those who need it, meant for discipline when needed, or meant for those who are incapable of staying out of nighttime trouble. If there is going to be a policy for curfew then it should be for those who either are getting in trouble or having bad grades, and also the curfew should not be so early-because when you cut off that extra time you are making extra time for the studying. For example, One Hour at SPA, curfew is 9:00pm while Two Hour is 8:00pm. Now yes its is only one hour difference but there is more, One Hour you are allowed out the house and not doing studies from 3:15pm through 5:30pm and 7:30pm through 9:00pm while Two Hour are allowed out the house with no studies from 3:15pm through 4:30pm and 7:30pm through 8:00. That leaves Two Hour people and extra hour(8:00pm through 9:00pm) to study or not be able to have freedom out the house, that is not fair. So if there is going to be a curfew for those who need it then it should be 9:00pm, the One Hour's curfew. But those who do not stay in trouble and have good grades should time themselves and have an appropriate curfew setting, like 11:00. So in conclusion, curfew is beneficial for those need it- not for those who are doing good.

Academic Language Week 35 - Sweatshops

Sweatshops are a violation of people's rights because they force you to do extreme LABOR with the reward being less then minimum wadge. This is ridiculous, nobody should ever have to work so hard for nothing. It is a violation to people's rights by being unfair, treating the workers like animals and not recognizing them of their hard-work, it's devastating that this is happening. Now some might argue that these workers signed a CONTRACT, coming into the job knowing what they are up for. But that still doesn't give anybody the right to over-work the workers or even treat the like slaves. Yes, they did signed the CONTRACT but they didn't sign up to be slaves, the bosses choose to treat them like that and they are also manipulating the workers, knowing they need the money, so they do anything to them because they know that they will take it and not quit because they know the workers need the money. These workers APPLY themselves too much to not get any credit and be treated like slaves, they do not deserve to be treated like this, these workers rights of equality is being striped. Another reason why Sweatshops are a violation to people's rights is that they take away a human right that John Locke proposed, stating that freedom is one of the three human rights that every human being has when they are born, working at a sweatshop will strip you of this right. So in conclusion, Sweatshops are a violation to people's rights, by striping them of both freedom and equality.
