volonce in philadelphia
About this event: I Can, I Will...Step Up, Stop the Violence March


The violence in Philadelphia is bad...very bad...people out of the blue getting hurt and kiling people for no reason. Sometimes there is a reason but there’s no reason for a person to kill another person.
Like my hood if you walk down the street and you don’t live down there u would get jumped are getting ran out the hood. The act of violence in Philadelphia is horrible, we need to be ashamed about how we acing because it’s unneeded.

I realize NYC is 6 times the size of Philadelphia but in 2005 NYC had 4 times as many violent crimes as Philly, but you never hear about NYC being an unsafe place to live. If NYC has 40,000 violent crimes per year and Philly’s has 10,000 violent crimes, in reality which place is more unsafe? I could show you a crime map of NYC, Chicago, DC, and La that would make you never want to step within 1000 miles of those cities.

Crime is everywhere in the cities. Certain sections are where 95% of the crimes take place. Is there spillover into what are seemingly safe neighborhoods? Yes but its exception not the norm. Just like Manhattan is going to be safer than parts of the Bronx/Queens, Center City is going to be safer than West/North Philly

Statistically you're more likely to die in a car crash driving around in suburbia than you are to die as an innocent victim of gun violence in the city.

(You're also much more likely to die on the drive to the airport than you are in the plane. People fear irrational phenomena because they don't feel in control of their lives, not because of actual risk analysis.)

As for Philly's housing values, it's not "worth it" to live anywhere but the exurban fringe of a Sunbelt city (say, Phoenix) if you're doing a strictly economic comparison of housing prices and incomes. But people value intangibles (culture, lifestyles, family). That's why people pay $2,000 a month for apartments the size of boxes in Manhattan. They're not crazy; they're just putting value in other things.

Philadelphia's housing has been historically undervalued when compared to its peers in the Northeast (NY, Boston, DC). Philly's basically playing catch-up now

Fear of teen pregnancy
Related to country: United States


I would like to analize why teens are getting pregnant? There are too many fears that come to my mind when i think of young girls lacking direction. What can I do to stop teens from getting pregnant and focusing on finishing school? Should there be more programs out there, like going to different schools informing young girls to abstain from such activities?What role can a morther play in promoting responsible , and positve social behavior ?

Trafficking of Women Summary
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development


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.

Migration
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development


Woman migration
The article was about woman migration
The relating article didn’t have any solutions to solve the other one problems
So our solutions are to let it be both men and woman to make it easier and its more helpful.

Labor
Parents had to sell their children for money because they was poor and they couldn’t afford them
Our solutions is that they can fundraise or donate money
Another solution is that they can get more jobs or maybe having school for the kids

Trafficking of Women
About this category: Human Rights


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.

what represents my culture
About this category: Culture


I am bringing a picture of me and my mother to school because it represents my culture and I chose this because every time I see it ,it reminds me who I am and never lets me forget where I come from and it also is a part of me and it is very special to me I love it and it cheers me up every time I see it ,it puts big smile on my face and it is a giant part of my life and my culture. Because seeing my mom just reminds me of the most wonderful thing a person could ever do she bought me in this world to live and be raised and grow up in this wonderful culture I live in.
