Answer:

Bacchus granted Midas's wish for a golden touch.

Midas couldn't eat because of the wish Bacchus granted.

Explanation:

The details about Silenus are not important to the summary of the myth. The purpose of the myth is to teach that one needs to be careful for what one wishes. All things that seem to be great do have a negative side to them. In this myth, Midas is granted the wish for a golden touch. He thinks this is wonderful and perfect. He's very excited when he tries his gift and everything he touches turns to gold. However, he soon realizes that this wish was not well thought out. Midas is unable to eat since all the food he touches turns to gold. Because of this, he chooses to go back to Bacchus and ask him to reverse the wish.

Dirty work. the creeping rollback of child labor law arguments essay
timama [110]

Child labor was commonly used in the first industrial revolution. The laborers, at that time, needed to work many hours nonstop. Even so, it was not enough, and these workers made their children work too so the family could sustain itself.

Of course, the abuses committed by those employers were stopped, and many laws were made to prevent them. One of these laws was the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

FLSA is a law that creates limits to child labor, it also forbids this type of work in some circumstances. Under sixteen years old, children have several restrictions to be allowed to work,  and under eighteen years old they had fewer restrictions, but could not exercise what everything an adult could, for example, work in a hazardous environment. However, agricultural work was not included in the FLSA, <u>and a good lot of the children worked in this job which was not limited and child labor could inadvertently be used.</u>

Even with FLSA, child labor continues to exist illegally, and its horrors continue to prevent children from having a decent childhood. That is, the youth protection must leave the law papers and assure effectively the childhood safety.

<u>This protection is extremely important, and the rollback of child labor must be avoided when hazardous to their healthy growth – both body and mind.</u>
