Recently I found out t hat the Disney corporation exploits children and use them as mini labor girls and boy’s. As a child Disney Land was my favorite place in the world. I saw only joy and fun times in the amusement park. And even when I was older for example this year back in June I went to Disney Land for my graduation trip with my senior class, and had so much fun once again blinded by the false happiness they want you to see. I was having a conversation with my older sister, and Disney Land came out as a topic, she started talking all this things about my favorite place in the world, I began to debate and told her my point of views. In till she hit me with the bomb , that Disney uses child labor all over the world. At first I didn’t believe her in till she made me Google , so I did and she was right. At that moment I thought to my self how can a place that bring children so much happiness cause other children in third world countries pain. See if I was to but on my critical thinking hat back then , I would of seen all the signs and investigated to the Disney corporation more in depth. The sad reality is that Disney is such a powerful corporation just like Wal-Mart that it would take a lot of people with the idea to end child labor to shut them down, but unfortionaly Disney Land is the “happiest place on earth”.
