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

Today was a very exciting day for the School of the future. Why because we actually had people. From different countries visit our school for the first time. I myself was alittle nevus because I wasn't sure. About what to say and what not to say. As i got to kno them alittle better then i became comfortable. These mutilingual educators expressed things about their countries in a well thought out way. If i could visit their country for about a week. That would be very interesting just to be in a total different envoirnment sounds like fun.

This TIG Blog is a result of a discussion board post about movie with a message. All movies have messages and one film that needs to be seen is the movie Blood Diamonds. Here is the story for the film. "Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer- a South African mercenary - and Solomon Vandy- a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon - who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen, an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have."
A blood diamond can also be called a conflict diamond or a war diamond and when referred to it is a diamond mined in a war zone and sold, usually clandestinely, in order to finance an insurgent or invading army's war efforts.
This issue is an important one and is starting to get its spectators now. Now making a movie on it, news specials and even in songs. Rapper Kanye West raised the issue of conflict “blood” diamonds in his song “Diamonds” Conflict diamonds, diamonds mined and traded by rebel groups, have been the source of murder and mutilation in the small, west-African country of Sierra Leone.

In the song, West voices his own inner conflict with diamonds:
See, a part of me say keep shinin’
How? When I know what a “Blood Diamond” is …

In his video, West takes his message even further. The video takes viewers into dimly lit diamond mines, where children are forced to mine for “small bits of carbon that have no intrinsic value in themselves, and no value whatsoever to the average Sierra Leonean beyond their attraction to foreigners.”

According to a report by Partnership Africa Canada (P.A.C.), “upwards of 50,000 [have been] killed, half the population displaced, and more than two-thirds of its already severely limited infrastructure destroyed.” Meanwhile, the underground trade of illicit diamonds is booming. Conflict diamonds are valued “between 4 percent and 15 percent of the world total” and generate annual trade revenues of $7.5 billion.

This issue needs to be discussed and known. Most people don't even know what a blood diamond it, but maybe we can finally do something with this issue. This needs to stop, many innocent lives are lost over a diamond. This article is meant to make you ponder, so do that and discuss, do what you feel is right.

I dont really think that global warming will affect me in my life time. I mean sure its causing the polar ice caps to melt but it really won't affect the world until later generations where the sea levels rise above where tey are now, submearsing most cities on the coast in water. I thinkto help slow this process we should use less gas for example get a hybrid care instead of a hummer. Also to slow the process you could use solar power instead of gasor oil.

it that the movies that was shown yesterday it really stressed the fact that we to not only ones that live it should be concered.The movies about miagration really was something to think about, because all these people are trying to do is get a better life for them and their family.in my opion its even a little sad that people call them maigrants when they to are people. Then it was a movie about global warming where i see for a fact that the weather that we have been having is not normal because its december and we still have had some unnormal weather for it to bethis time of the yerar.

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.

Basically the article is telling me about the difference between men and women to be migrants but focuses on the women. It is also describing how hard it is for the migrant women to find good jobs to take care of their families on the income they receive. Next the article goes into the help that the women overseas get from our government it’s not much but it keeps the children clothed and educated. Also it explains the difference from the 1990’s and now. Basically now our government helps migrants here in the U.S.

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.

why did migrating started?
why do people want migrating?
why women like

and i know that people like mrigrating and it can help you and it do a lot to people

The British collected a number of Nepalese youngsters to the British armed forces. And they collected migrants to come and work for them. They used the migrants of Nepalese for employment purposes only. There are many villages in Nepal where labor migration has been established as a culture of a community.
Economic migration to the Middle East from South Asia and other parts of the world was spurred-on by the oil boom in the early 1970s.

Why do they need migrants to work for them?
How could they end migration?

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

this artical is about how poor parents sold there children to fishermen for money and the kids had to work for the fishermen without pay and they did not get piad for it they were slaves.

1.why did sell their kids.
2.what was the city like.
3.was it a bad enviernment

how does labor affect you?
what can we do to stop labor?
why was labpor so bad?

i feel reall strongly about people taking women for granted number on because i am a young women and without women alot of things could not happen like for examples baby's. i dont understand how some poeple like that towards a sex that mankind depens on.

1. i would like know what is going threw peoples head to make them think men are better then women.
2. i want to know how the women ell when they cannot do diffrent thing because of there sex

When reading this you cant help but feel bad cause you know it took people a long time to really see how much they really bring to the united states(woman) more then half of all migants are women and they are confronted with many things from a day to day baseis.they send millions of dollars back to there homes for general needs to be taken care of.for a long time they where last onthe list for every thing but this brings me to ask two questions 1 why did it take this long for the policymakes to acknowled this? 2. what are they doing for others that are not migrants but lower income?
