The Two Faces of Chocolate


Do you like chocolate? I mean the kind that is creamy, warm, and mouth-watering? Everyone knows chocolate is sweet, but not everyone knows there is a bitter face to chocolate. Thousands of children are working in cocoa farms to earn money for survival when they should be in school learning.

Come to this workshop to learn about the boy in the picture. You'll also learn how serious child slavery is. Be a global citizen that helps people in need, people in pain, and people in sadness.

Chocolate produced without pain and suffering will be my treat!

Unit 4, Global Issues Reflection Name: Yenah Jang, 6B > > > One participates in global citizenship by caring, knowing, and acting. In order to be a global citizen, we have to know what is going on around the world, which also means we have to know the serious issues in the present. An issue We should care about the people that are suffering in pain, because global citizens are one, and we help others. Let’s say there are 2 chocolate factories, one that produces cacao using children slavery and the other harvesting cacao without slavery. Which company would you choose? Of course, you’d choose the first company because you know. Like this, responsible choices are part of being a global citizen. A responsible choice affects you, and also the world. If the chocolate company stops getting cacao from the cacao farm that uses children as slaves, then the farm might perish, and the children might get free. So if every one of us pick the right choices, we can make a big change. Being a global citizen is important. Every conflict, whether it takes place from far away or right next door is a global issue. We, as global citizens, have a duty to solve these problems and protect each other. As global citizens, we have to connect to each other and we try to solve the global issues. We all have goals we make, and these goals can bring together people from all over the world, which is why it’s important to be a global citizen, because human-borders are meaningless. We can share our ideas, and because we all linked together, we can find out what others think. > - Notes in Inspiration - Podcast in Garageband - Instagrok - Different templates in INspiration - Citations in MLA format - Wikispaces - Google sites - Encyclopædia Britannica’s Image Quest - Quizlet - Primary Source - Technology / Pisca Photo - Library sources

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Marcovitz, Hal. //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Fair Trade //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">. North Mankato, Minnesota: ABDO Publishing Company, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> n.d. Print.

The reason I chose this book is because this book explains very well about the fair trade and child labor. This book has detail in the child labor, so I thought this book will help me for my research.

Print.

I got the idea of my topic from this article from the magazine, "Wizkeys". It explains about children working so hard to earn so little money in huge cacao farms with no safety gears.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"Children in Cocoa Production." //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Wikipedia //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">.

I chose this website because it had detailed information about children in the coco industry, also explaining about the process and the coco harvest the children do.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;">Excerpts:

 * <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;">Although this list has not been certified, these companies are trying to take steps to produce chocolate made away from the hands of child slavery. ( @http://ihscslnews.org/view_article.php?id=315 )

This is a graph of the regional trends in children work.

Parents of young children get tricked by people who say they will educate their children. They're children get sold in very little money.
Children get locked in cocoa farms and they work really hard to earn little amounts of money. These children don't know when they'll get free from these farms- some children work until they die. In times when they have to study, children work. Hard. Many of these children want to go to school desperately, so we should be very thankful we can study in tis great school.

This video shows children in the coco industry, working like slaves. It shows how miserable and sorrowful these children are. When I saw this video, I was shocked, because the pictures of all the children slaves were all dreadful.

"I did not know why the color of the chocolate was dark..." "...The chocolate we eat is a mixture of wails and blood of the children slaves." || Add to original Inspiration or do another.
