A team of researchers examined the long-term impacts of maternity leave in Norway since the country’s introduction of paid, job-protected leave time … [and] found that “reform had strong effects on children’s subsequent high school dropout rates and earnings at age 30, especially for those whose mothers had less than 10 years of education” (Carneiro). Thus, increased time at home with children— especially time during which mothers can relax without fear of sacrificing their income—can lead to success in the child’s life.

They see it as their right to take action outside the law because the government in charge of that law has shirked their responsibilities to provide security and a moral economy (Ibid. 1388). When the scope of the world narrows to eating or starving, when there is no one coming to save the day, when there is no other way out, when all that is left is survival, those are the moments that pirates are born.
