Child labor

Child Labor





    Kids don’t go to school because they need to work, and they don’t get fed when they are hungry. Iqbal and Craig are examples of child actives against child slavery because they both speak out against this issue. Iqbal went thru it himself, but Craig read about it in the newspaper.


       Iqbal got sold to a carpet company when he was four by his father for twelve dollars. Evidence from the text is “A bounded worker who could never make enough money to buy his freedom. I got this on newint.org.” This information is important because he can’t do what he wants he has to be at his station.


   
        When Iqbal was shot he was 12, Craig was also 12 at that time when he heard about it and he started Free the Children. Evidence for this is “I was also 12 years old at that point and so basically I looked at the difference and similarities.”

Girls Not Getting a Education By:Ryleigh Baker

        Girls Not Getting a Education
                                 By:Ryleigh Baker

       My topic is girls and women around the world need education and to have a voice. This is a problem because if women don't get the education they need they really can't have a life because they might not know how to do math to pay for their house or read to buy the things they need. Malala Yousafzai wants education for girls. Ana Waquatabu Liganisulu wants girls to speak for their village. Cheleste Dushime wants women to use opportunities that they have. Those are only a few teen activists who are fighting for girls and women's rights.
                     
                  Malala Yousafzai is a teen activist who wants girls to get an education. One example is when Malala said“ The powerful nations are not those who have weapons,guns,and bombs. The powerful nations are those who have educated society and human morals, education for everyone and equal rights for both genders, male and female”.My quote supports the main idea  of my paragraph because Malala is saying education is more powerful than any weapon. Also, she is saying if the powerful nations educate society then they educate everyone.

           Next ,Ana Waquatabu Liganisulu is a teen activist who wants girls to be able to speak at her village meetings. One thing that Ana had said is “ In my community girls are seen as fragile and we do not have a say in village meetings. When we speak,we are growled at for speaking up, told to be a ‘girl’ and sit quietly and listen to our elders”. My evidence supports my main idea because Ana Waquatabu  Liganisulu wants girls in Fiji to be able to talk at their village meetings.

                     Cheleste Dushime is a teen activist who wants to give women opportunities that women have but don’t use. One example is when Cheleste said “There isn’t a lack of opportunities for women in Rwanda. There is a lack of Rwandan women to use these opportunities”.It is important to my main idea because it shows how there are opportunities for women, but the women in Rwanda don’t use those opportunities.
 
          Girls not getting an education is a big problem around the world . Malala wants girls to get an education so they can have a do more with their lives. Ana wants girls to be able to speak for the people in her village. Cheleste wants the women of Rwanda to use the opportunities that the government gives them.


   

Abandoned pets By: Alexi

                                                   Abandoned pets
My intro is about how animals get treated like dirt in some places they get thrown on the streets then they have to take care of themselves so they get left to die.so the people need to treat them better.we need to put them in a place we know they are safe and cared for.so we need to treat them how we want to be treated so we dont see animals on the streets. So let's not be jerks to the animals the chances are they didn't do anything to you and you just abuse and hurt them it makes no sense to hurt them. Next we need to stop this from happening anymore.

The pets around the world are getting abandoned or running away.So these few people i will talk about are all about to talk why it is very bad for the animals. The person that i read about first said that the animals are getting abandoned by bad owners and because the owner doesn't care about the pet or pets anymore so then they think of trying to get them out as fast as possible and put them on the street and leave them there to die and one example is " this person said you know what i'm sick and tired of seeing pets on the roads all alone" this is important because  it made the people mad so they spoke and got the word out and the people did everything in their power to stop what is happening.


then the second person i'm going to talk about she thinks that animals should have equal rights as people so you don't see us getting thrown on the streets to die so let's not ever do that to animals treat them how you want to be treated. We want the people to stop abusing animals so we need to be more respectful to the animals we need to not abuse them anymore. She is someone who said that she "doesn't want to have animals abused it is not fair to the animals" this is important because it is helping the animal abuse problem around the world.


The third and final person talked about how they had to put a lot of work into the shelter or place that they are building on or fixing a old shelter. That they built or that was already there so they spent a lot of money and time so they sometimes can not afford to put up a building of refurbish  a old building to bring it back to business again so then they put up a fund raiser for money."they also said that this is not just in one place we need to spread this around the world to stop what is happening".this is important because it is helping raise awareness so that they can get the money to build new shelters so the animals can have a good home.

 So in conclusion animal abuse is very bad for animals. So we need to treat the animals the way we want to be treated so we can't just throw them on the streets or leave them there because we can't take care of them anymore we need to put them in a place that will take good care of them. We need to stop the abuse there is no need to hurt animals or they did nothing wrong. We really need to confront the people who are hurting these poor animals who just want love.so lets stop the hate to animals so it needs yo stop the hurt on the animals so lets stop these horible people when there is no need.

             All of the activist want to make a difference and help out the environment. They do this by putting in a lot of effort and spending a lot of time in their work. They do this by meeting and sharing ideas. By working with schools and making nesting grounds for osprey and other endangered birds. And lastly by travelling around the country in a band to motivate kids teens and adults to help fight climate change.

            The first  way these activist protect the environment and help fight climate change. Is going to be about what Clay Mullen dose to protect the environment. He has pushed for Ohio laws to help protect the environment this means that Clay Mullen puts a lot of effort and care for his work to protect the environment. He made projects to build nesting grounds for osprey and other endangered birds. For example Clay said, “Whatever amount of work I have to do it’s completely worth it”. So this shows that Clay Mullen really cares about his work and helping and protecting the environment. He also spends a lot of time on his work. Clay spent two-thousand hours on environmental causes since seventh grade. That is really impressive because that means he really does care about all of work such as building nesting grounds for osprey and other endangered birds.

             The second way these activist protect the environment and help fight climate change. Is for instance going to be about young people having the ability to make a change is by being a activist in the community. For example it saze,”to inspire and motivate young people, to rally their peers and hometown communities to fight climate change.”
So this shows that the In conventional youth is just a group of teens dedicated to raising awareness to global warming. So they are helping out and fighting climate change and global warming.

             The last why these activist protect the environment and help fight climate change.Is for instance a group of people wanting to protect the environment., “Everywhere you turn there is a great story about a teen leading her family, school or community towards environmental and social awareness. Lorean Dangerfield organised with people to win environmental rights. Last week at the 2010 U.S. social forum 20,000 activist met in Detroit Michigan. For example they,”Networked and share their visions of social change.”, “There were attendees and presenters who spanned of all ages and groups but many folks were stuck by just how many young people came out to pursue the environment and social justice issues. So this shows that a lot of activist are meeting to discuss problems and help fight climate change. So there still are all kinds of activist ready to fight climate change.


               So in conclusion all of the activist that I have talked such as Clay Mullen or Brian Merchant all share something in common and that is making a difference in the world. They do this by meeting and sharing ideas. Working with schools and making nesting grounds for osprey and other endangered birds. And lastly by travelling around the country in a band to motivate kids and people to fight climate change.

    Emily,Daniel,Caralena,Creg and Benjamin all want to help clean up Santa Monica,California to make it clean and save animal lives. They are in a team that cleans up the city. Benjamin is the team leader that use to be a highschool teacher. They are mainly focused on plastic bags.
     In one day they picked up 5 pounds of plastic on a beach. Benjamin said,” Over the course of a year 100,000 animals died of plastic bags.” This is bad because the environment is being harmed by us and we don't want that.
   
    They spend hours and hours a day cleaning the roads,beaches, and drain pipes. Benjamin also said,” There are 6 million plastic bags made in santa monica every year.” Most of those bags end up in the ocean from drain pipes and other things. When the bags end up in the ocean the ocean animals get sick by eating them or choking on them and die.

 The team said,” 4 of the 6 million plastic bags animals eat because they think it’s food.” That is treacherous because those animals will eventually die because they either suffocate or they don't digest them and get sick.

     They are saving animals lives and cleaning up  plastic bags in Santa Monica to make the environment better.

Abandoning Animals

       Some of the obstacles that child activists have to face is seeing hurt dogs, having to put down other people’s pets. Also having that pressure on you to have an try to save pets lives. The solution to these problems is too put out advertisements in the roads and in parks to try and sell all the loving animals that deserve a home. So when you see animals on the road stop and try to find help don’t just drive by, because if that was you wouldn’t want people to just drive by and leave right?


     An example, of problems with the animal shelters is they don’t  have enough medicine and food. For instance, some animals don’t have a leg and need the right needles and injections to get better. Shelters are also having problems with food too because there are a lot of animals coming in and not enough food to help the animal out. A solution to this problem is to send the animals across the country where  they may be more medicine to help the animals stay alive. This also helps the pets get the care they need. In the article they said,“ We speak up for our hurting animals that need homes.” Gary Weitzman is a man who owns a shelter down south and he will do anything for the animals that come into his shelter.


      Another thing, that animal shelters are having problems with is a major over population of sick or hurt animals coming in a week. It is very hard and sad for the workers to have animals coming in because, yes it is always heartbroken to see an animal without a leg or a home. It is also hard on the workers because it is more animals to have to look after everyday and to love and care. The solution to this problem is to make advertisements and host fairs to help with the animals adoption. In this article the people that work here think very highly of their animals,”We try our best every day to try and expand the shelter so we can handle more animals as they come in.” Teen star making a difference is a great group of kids that are local and really agree and want to help all animals in need.


      Lastly, and sadly animals are dying in shelters. Animals are dying in because they are heartbroken and are either dying of old age or brokenhearted for not having any homes or loving family’s. Some animals are strongly emotionally about living in a cage for almost over a year, depending on where the shelter is not a lot of food or medicine that they need to survive for that long. And some animals get shipped across the country and have to go on water sometimes,and that can also leave a little bit of a brokenheart, or can get sick from constanley moving and swaying in a boat a lot.One of the soultions to this problem is, “Some of our workers are taking the animals home to there own loving family so they have a home.” Leslie Sullivan is a hard worker that has almost 3-4 pets at home that she just bought home from her shelter that she owns.


     In conclusion, all in all this issue is important because, all of these helpers have to face horrible things everyday while they work, between not having enough medicine and food to help the animals live. Having a major overpopulation of animals a day, and having to see animals die in shelters almost everyday. There are good sides too because you get to see some dogs/animals go home with a loving adoptive family.
