Effects of Changing Dimensions

When you double the dimensions of a polygon, the scale factor is two but if you triple it, its scale factor is three. The perimeter of a one by one polygon is four, but if you double the dimensions, the perimeter is eight, but if you triple it, it is twelve. The area of a one by one polygon is one, but if you double the dimensions of the polygon the area is four, but if you triple the dimensions it would be nine.  You multiply the scale factor once for perimeter and twice for the area.

Feeling Differently About School

In countries like America kids don’t want to go to school, but in regions like Pakistan it’s a different story. Many factors separate rich countries against poor nations. Kids feel differently about school because most kids in rich countries must go to school but some kids in poor countries can’t.

Students in wealthy communities don’t like school because their guardian and our government make them. I like school because I want an education. However, many American students don’t understand the value of education because research shows that students in school and students that make good grades are generally more successful in life. School is important because you can make new friends and meet new people. Despite all of these facts pre-teens and teenagers don’t understand the value of going to school for free.

On the other hand, kids in third world countries can’t because their circumstances won’t let them go to school. Often, they don’t have enough money. Many kids in underprivileged countries want to go to school but can’t. Nearly half the world’s children are uneducated and that’s part of the reason why we should educate children. One billion kids worldwide live in poverty and are unable to go to school to become doctors and lawyers to help poor countries.

Many kids feel differently about school than we do. Large numbers of kids in Pakistan want to go to school because it’s a privilege. Wealthy countries like the U.S. make kids go to school. Despite American kids lack of interest and other kids lack of opportunity, let’s take a lesson from Malala, “So let us wage a glorious struggle against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism, let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.”

Child Labor

I think child labor is bad because I don’t think child labor would help the environment. They don’t get education and they wouldn’t know how to read or write. They only would know how to work machinery. They would cut off their fingers and would not be able to work or go to school. Child labor was good in the Industrial Revolution because the owners of the company’s didn’t want to pay a lot money to adults so they hired children so they could most of the money. The owners of the company’s payed just enough money to the kid and his/her family alive. Child labor made a boom in the Industrial Revolution but also kept children away from their families and schooling. I learned that child labor made a boon in the Industrial Revolution and bane for childhood.
