3 Acceptable Outrages - Riham Abuzinadah

By: Riham Abuzinadah

In fact, many horrible things have happened  in the world whether they were happening back in the days or during the current time, but are acceptable for many people, are called acceptable outrages. there are many examples of these acceptable out rages, and I would like to discuss 3 of them which are about racism, children workers, and chemical weapons.

Regarding racism, which is the discrimination between people on their abilities and characteristics on the basis of their race, so some racial group thinks that they are superior to others, people have no rights to talk or express themselves, they are also not allowed to have specific jobs. in my point of view, racism is consider outrage because no one should be made to feel inferior just because of his look, color, or where he came from. in addition, racism is bad because it leads to many social problems; for instance, it causes poverty by preventing some people from working, causes a major inequality issues, and can lead to the corruption of justice and increasing the number of crimes. That is why people should not discriminate between each other, and this problem should be eliminated.

Another acceptable outrage that I would like to talk about is child labor. child labor is to make children work while they are in a very young age and to give them tasks that require physical and mental strength. Most of the time, this happens in the poor countries to let the children participate in increasing their families income. So, some families let their children go to factories instead of schools. children labor is an outrage, since it makes children miss their school and the proper education they deserve that could enable them to find good jobs in their future. Furthermore, these children might be exploited be other companies due to their low wages, and they are less likely to protest on their working conditions. moreover, working at factories in a very young age could lead to disabilities because of some dangerous substances;consequently, this kind of child labor is absolutely immoral.

The last outrage i will cover is about using chemical weapons in wars. The usage of this kind of weapons is really horrible as it leads to extreme horror in the country due to the invisible gas that could spread over and seek out every place, and because of the tirrible death it can cause. Besides, chemical weapon is more dangerous than bomb because a person can hide himself against the bomb in a shelter or whatever, but with the chemical one, he cannot do anything other than breath it as it is mixing with air. Also, the aforementioned weapons could lead to permanent illness, blindness, and disabilities.
