Three Acceptable Outrages by Hisham Alshehri

By Hisham Alsheheri

 One of the most acceptable outrages in the past is Forced marriage even if she or he against to get married. Unfortunately it is still acceptable nowadays in some poor countries and some part of India and Middle East. In the back days, it was very acceptable for the parents to find a husband for their young daughter without asking her if she agree with that or not, and parents believe that is one of their jobs for their daughter and the daughter doesn't have the right to say her opinion of that. That was very acceptable especially in my country Saudi Arabia, and that not only with the daughter, but also with the son. The son back days in my country has no choice to choose the women he wants, but in face his wife already choose since he is very young. Other kind of forced marriage is to get married only from one girl of the family, and unfortunately it is happen these days in many countries around the world especially in southern of Asia and Middle East. It is a big shame if the guy get married from out of the family or from another ethnic. In my opinion, that is against the person rights to choose the partner that he or she wants to live with. which is also can lead for success life.

Another kind of the acceptable outrages back days is child labour. Child labour unfortunately still happens these days in many developing countries such as South Africa or some countries in South America. As Wikipedia mentions, before 1940 many children from age 5-14 worked in Europe and United States and some of them were working for 12 hours a day. Although with deprivation from education and deprivation of the children rights to choose if they willing to work, still this very acceptable for people. Also Wikipedia mentions, in 2010 in developing countries with high poverty especially in South Africa there are more than 50 percent of children who are aged between 5 to 14 are working.

Last type of acceptable outages in the past, women wont allowed to go to school or work.  In my country the women were not able to go to school or have job. It was a big shame for the family to let their daughter to go to the school. In the past women were only can do their main job as people thought which is working in the home only. As I read in CNN News this problem still happen in these days in some parts of India and Africa. Also there are many countries the women there can not go to school, but that because of poverty that people live in.
