Due to the fact that the Area of Interaction that I am
focusing on for this project is Community and Service, I have been looking
quite a bit into the "action" side of things. In a recent reflection
of mine I wrote about how I, as an individual need to focus more on inspiring
others to take action, by my own action. When my mentor read my reflection we
talked about how that "individual" doesn't actually have to be me,
but instead I could take "action" to realize which individuals can
create change, in other words "take action" to improve certain
aspects of labour.
Personally, and using evidence from the interviews, I think education is where everything starts. Let's face it, right from the beginning education is what leads you to your job. The reason why labourers have jobs which pay a low salary is probably because they don’t have a rich past in education.
Another aspect of education is that do labourers even know their own rights? Something to really think about is, is it actually their responsibility to be aware of their rights and all the laws, or is it the governments, or the employer’s job, to educate their employee...? What do you think??
