This was my favorite picture from the community walk because I was glad to see that the community gave tribute to the Philadelphia Negro League because a lot of black people do not recieve a lot of credit and for them to have a whole memorial deicated to the Philadelphia Baseball Negro League its a step up from not reconizing black people at all.

Today in class i read a piece. I read a article on youth rights. It was saying that youth need to get known more and adults need to pay more attetion to their youth. For example they said that children need more rec centers and organizations like that. There was a couple of things that i didnt under stand one thing was that it was talking about migration and youth and didnt under stand it. Also I didnt understand that the age part of the article.

Trafficking women is done to most immigrants. They under pay the women. They tell them the grass is greener over here. When the women get here they are underpaid. The women don’t complain because what they make is a lot compared to what they make in their Country.

I WAS READING ABOUT HOW WOMEN ARE SOME TIMES USED AS SLAVES AND COULD NOT GET WHAT THEY WANTED. THEY GOT SLOTERD AND RAPED AND BEAT UP FOR STUFF THEY DID NOT DO. AND IF THEY DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THERE MATE. THE LITTLE GIRLS WAS FORCED TO GET MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE AND HAVING KIDS WITH THAT PERSON THEY WERE FORCED TO MATE WITH. I THINK THAT ALL OF THAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING THEY DO NOT WANT TO LIKE GETTING MARRIED TO SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW AND DO NOT CARE AND PLUS HE'S GROWN. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THREW ALL THAT BECAUSE THAT MAKES NO SINCE AT ALL. MY DAD WILL NEVER WANT ME TO GET MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE. HE TELL'S ME ALL OF TIME TO STAY A CHILD AS LONG AS POSIBLE. HOPEULLY ALL OF THIS WAR AGAINST WOMEN IS SOLVED WHEN I GROW UP BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO THREW ALL THAT

The summary i read was about migration. It was about how immigrants went to different countries to find work, food, etc. The money the immmigrants earned went to fill hungry bellies, clothe poor children and educate the uneducated.As work, migrant women, they toiled the households of more wealthy fa milies, they soothed the sick and also helped the elderly. They also contributed their technical,professional expertise pay takes and try to make those important whose live s has been taken for granted.

As i read thi article I wondered:

1. How come some countries had money and the others didnt?

2. How come some parts of the migrated countries have money and the othewrs dont?

3. Why didn't the people inwhich the immigrants cleaned their homes, why didn't they pay the immigrants a little extra?

The image of youth today is to be seen and not heard by the adult population. Today the teenage population is being the most rebelus population. It is also been taken advantage by most of the adult population, espeicaly since adolences have been able to be employed for part time jobs. On daily occation teenagers have been talked down to by adults. Teenagers rights are highly redused by Gaurdians and by law.

How are the rights of youth violated by migration?
Do youths have a right to migration aswell as adults?
Is there anyway youth can cause any form of migration?

The article's topic was based on xenophobia and discrimination. The article was talking about how a man named Simon attented a christmas party that was organized by the manager from work. The people who also attented were some of his friends. Simon stayed in a small group of people that consisted of students, engineers, IT specialist, lawyers, and laboures. They were all having a good discussion until it became political. A man named Phil introduced his thoughts of manners. He stated that he can't believe those bastards killed our children in Bali. Kick them, send them back to where they belong. They can't fit in with our, the Australian. Simon stated his opinion about what Phil said and Simon asked Phil you are trying to say that we should deport, kick out, detain every single Muslim and person who doesn't fit into of society? You are telling me that al Muslims are terrorist and all of them hate us? Phil said yes. Simon felt as though that was vey ignorant and discrminating because he felt like all Muslims aren't terroist and everyone should be treated equally. He also thought that people discriminating other people was over and thar was over a hundred yeas ago.

Do you think what Phil said was worng?

Do you think other people think that all Muslims are terrorsits?

Are their more people like Phil still out there?

Does discrimination still exist agianst other races?

What can we do to prevent it?

If immigration effect you?
I think immigration does effect you I believe it effect everybody. You don't have to move to a different country you could just move into a different area of your city. So, yes i do believe migration do effect me and everyone else and it is very important.

well i woudent care like that cause i am not one of them

i think that migration affects me because the community to change depending on the different people in it. And it affects my life cause my family might have to migrate and i would hate to move from philly.

What I thought about today was that I think that we weren’t as prepared as we could have been because I really didn’t comprehend a lot of what they were talking about as far the lady answering the other student’s questions. It wasn’t really a big issue as far as us being prepared because the students from the other school actually take a class that deals with human rights and migration.
Our school went to the UN day to learn other information the migration and the other 5 topics. When we broke up into our small group discussions I was in the group concerning children’s rights. I thought my group was interesting and I learn a lot about children’s rights. There was a girl named Jenifer in my group and she went to Delaware Valley Friends. I not sure what grade she was in but she knew a lot about children’s rights. My Facilitator named was Sara Kitchen and she told us that she started to want to be involved in children’s rights when she was a teenager and she worked as a waitress at a dinner in Massachusetts she overheard two guards that worked at a school a mile away from her home would talk about how they would torture the young men that went to the school. That situation made her want to go into the fields of children’s rights so she studied law and decided after a while to go from law to the classroom and now she is a professor at Chestnut Hill College.
Some of the things I learned The Convention on the Rights of the child is part of education and core curriculums around the world, parents leave their homes to migrate and sometime they take their children with them or they leave them with family members Children migrate to the U.S. so that they can get a better education to receive better jobs some become citizens of the United States others go back to their country, if a child were migrating to come to a Quaker school they could do community service to receive a green card or they can go back to their country, also if they are in a quarter school they would learn the religion if they are a Quaker, and they can easily be abused. This was a good opportunity because I learned a lot about children’s rights and that’s something I wouldn’t mind studying in the future I can’t wait to learn more when everybody come on Dec.1.

From the passage I've just read it was about female trafficking and how females are promised a better life but when they get to their new distination they are doing labor work like prositution farming work like just being treated like slaves. If one of my family memebers got human traffic I would be devastated and sad, just like cant really believe it would happen to them. This is why I would not make part with Human Trafficking nor Trafficking of Women.
