DISCUSSION QUESTION DUE BY FRIDAY OCTOBER 28TH
By reading the novel Sold, you have been introduced to the issue of human trafficking. Why do you think that such a big human rights issue continues to exist around the world?
I believe that human trafficking still exist around the world because we do not have a responsible government and also we do not have normal people in this world. I believe we do not have a responsible government because some people that are a part of our government and our protection are money hungry. They would just do anything for money and not care about anybody else’s opinion or thought. Also, the people that are suppose to protect us (the police officers) are money hungry as well. They would just turn the other way when the see a human trafficker doing the illegal thing which is trafficking women/girls. We do not have normal people in this world is another reason why human trafficking exist around the world. There are some disgusting men out there that like to have sex with young girls. There are women/men who are money hungry as well. They don’t care what happens to the girls the men sleep with they just want the money and that is all.
I beileve that is such a big human rights issue that continues to exist around the world today because many people in different parts of the world thinks it's right and many other parts for example United States think it is wrong and us the people want the people to have a chance of life.I also think it continues around the world because of this issue prostitution. Many people are tricked into it thinking that the person that they are sending is going to be sent as a maid and send back money and help provide for the family.
I think that human-trafficking still exists around the world because of desperate economic situations. All over the world, especially in 3rd class countries, people are suffering with poverty and their many children. The U.S KNOWS that it's wrong to sell a person, because slavery is done with. However, in other countries, it's a regular thing to sell people in order to obtain money! Yes, some parents willingly sell their children, because they're THAT desperate for money, but some parents are decieved into thinking that their children will be sent off to work somewhere. For an example, in Lakshmi's case, she was decieved into thinking that she was going to the city to work as a maid, but she was instead sold into a brothel. Some children are also kidnapped! Take Meena's case, for an example. She was kidnapped before she even had her first menstruation!
i believe that the goverment isn't doing anything about human traffickng because they only care about money. When Meena got trafficked, guess who was the president? President Bush. He is the worse president in the world of presidents. He is the one who made us get 9/11. Like what Jessie J said " is not about the money we dont need your money." apparetly bush didnt hear that song. The goverment needs to understand that liitle girls even younger than the age of 12 are being traffick.
I believe that human trafficking still exist around the world . I say this because the government dont think it does , i think the government thinks human trafficking is not a big deal or a problem so they dont stress the situation. Another reason i say this because in the article we read in class about a girl who got traffed , the government did not do nothing . But say if they paid the government to help they would of stress the situation.
I agree with Chasity but I also believe that human trafficking is still a problem all over the world today because people are losing their jobs and are poor. I know this because in the book, Sold, Lakshmi was sold by her stepfather because her family were poor. They need the money to fix the roof, buy the baby a jacket, etc. and the stepfather did not have a job so the had to grow their food. Even thought that novel was fiction, people in poor countries do have lives like Lakshmi did and their are poor people who need to do things to get money.
i say its still a big issue because mainly people have their own decisions. most people really dont care about what happens between the idea of human trafficking. others think that there should be changes. my personal opinion is that there should be changes about human trafficking. also that where its taking place their government or the policw officers should take action about the idea.
I beleive that It still happens because some parts of the goverment dont really pay attention to it.I also think it happens because some family's(like lakshmis stepfather)they sell thier own daughters just so they could get like 900 or 1,000 rupees.
I believe that human trafficking is a huge problem because of desperation. I know this because in the artical we have read in class it says that children are sold because their family needs money. However in some cases the family gets tricked into selling their child. If they sell their daughter she gets put into prostitution. If they sell their sons they are put as laborers. This shows how desperate families are when they have to go to an extent where it puts their child in danger. Or to such an extent where they have to sell their own child to feed the rest of the family.
I believe that human still exists because of the economy. Families sell their children in order to get money. Most of the families who sell the girls into human trafficing are poor.They think there is no other way to earn money.Sometimes families are in such circumstances where it is a life or death situation. Some familes are also tricked by human trafficers. Trafficers think its an easy way to make money. It also happens because the government systems in countries are flimsy and not strict. There are also police who are corrupt by taking bribes or using a girl and walking away from the helpess girls in prostitution.
I believe that human trafficking stills exists. I say this because today on the news I saw that 3 girls were trafficked in Mexico and they were around our age they were trafficked for 50 days until the police caught the two guys that trafficked the three young girls. I also say this because in the article that we read was about a girl named meena that got trafficked from her village. The government has really not done nothing at all because If he did human trafficking would have stopped and not only girls get trafficked but also guys. Hopefully the government does something as soon as possible because I really think that this should stop because the girls are the ones that are mostly suffering.
I think that Human-Trafficking still exists today because it is not looked at often. Other things such as economy, poverty, etc. I belive that human trafficking should be reconized and treated. It it happening all over the world, so many girls are forced into prostitution and it should be stopped.
