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

BO$$UNIT is a group of young people who are trying to take control of there life with all thats going on. Bo$$unit basically takes advantage of how the world is so high tech nowadays and use technology to express whatever they want. Bo$$unit has realized with technology you can achieve many things, and they just want to show the world that in a way for young people and older people can understand. Bo$$unit produces many products with technology until they get enough money to build a studio that uses technology to do everything and have it open to the public to produce whatever they want to exspress to the world with a little help.

In my point of view our class ''Invisible City'' is about overlooking things that people pass by every day. I learned a lot from being in this class and it gave me a new lens to see things in different ways. I also liked this class because it also gives me a chance to show people how I see things with my photography.
Pictures I personally took were mostly landscape pictures, like pictures of my school and pictures of my community. The music we created was more up to date hip hop type instrumentals. The process of making the music was simple; we used this program called FL studio and put together sounds to make the music we produced.
We took all the projects our class made and we took it to Hershey, Pennsylvania to the PETE&C conference. There we displayed all the things we did in our class for people there to observe. I thought the conference was helpful because people there gave us feedback on what they thought about our work. I would be interested in going again, and if I could go again next year a project I would like to work on more of our music and maybe do some movies.

I felt that that confrence was very good and understanding I understood about the woman migration an human rights i understood alot about that.

This article was about migration in terms of labor. I say this because in the article it says ''many middle-age people have migrated for economic reasons and not persecution. This may be referred to as labour migration resulting from widespread unemployment in the country. It is also not true that many Ugandans seek refuge due to completely unbearable life here at home. Many of these people are not fleeing starvation and a lack of shelter but are on a search for high life on the streets of London. Surely no one can leave Uganda unless they can pay US $ 1000 for the flight to Gatwick or risk a two month trip on a cargo ship''. So i place this article in the categorys of involuntary and labor, I think its some what involuntary because they dont want to leave there home land there being forced to and its labor becase they need jobs because there economic problem

No Questions

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.

The article I read was about Voluntary and Involuntary migration. It was basically talking about the different reasons why immigrants eave ther home palces and move to different places voluntary or involuntary. So they gave and example of a girl named Tina who was 27 years old. They talked about how she lefft Uganda to find her boyfriend, but where she lived was falling apart anyway; She went to go find her boyfriend in Manchester. Also how the girl Tina made it and found her boyfriend and she sent backserveral thousand pounds back to Uganda to plot land and herold house to be knocked down. This is basicallywhat this one article was about. This would be a case of voluntary migration because she wanted to leave where she lived. But some involuntary migration moght be because of natural disasters or life or death situations.

Poverty and the Rights of the Child
This story was about how poor parents over in Ghana, West Africa were selling their children to fisherman for money. These children were from ages 3 to 14, there were mostly boys. The children were forced to go under water and put fish nets at the bottom of the rivers so that the fisherman could catch big fish. These children were totured because they barely ate and for their hard labor they were not piad. Some of them died because they drowned.
I want to know:
How old was the children that died?
&
Did the fisherman get arrested for doing this to children?
&
What did the government have to say about this kind of act?
