Human Trafficking and Slavery.

Wednesday, May 4, 2011
Human Trafficking is when humans are being sent to a location illegally. They are usually smuggled into the country like cattle, with not much on their backs and only the clothes they are wearing.

This is used for Human Slavery. Human Slavery is when the people who are usually trafficked from a country in order to work for people with low or no pay and are mistreated.

This is a video to show you what is Human Trafficking and Slavery  :




So why do people do it in the first place?

Most people are out to get businesses. In order to start a business there is need for workers.

There are also reasons such as such industries like Drug and Sex are not fond upon in this world this is why people are forced.

12 Angry Men (1957) REVIEW

12 Angry Men (1957)

The stars of the movie 12 Angry Men (1957) starred Henry Fonda, Lee J Cobb with many others.

The story involves 12 Jurors who has to decide whether to send a person to death for murder, or believe that he did not do it. This leads to one Juror going agaisnt the other to prove that the defendant is innocent. Beliefs are challenged and the truthfulness of eye witnesses are tested.

The Best Bits, for me was when Juror No.8 talked about the fact that the knife could be found anywhere. The part where the old man talks about the other old man who was an eye witness was very interesting to me and made me wonder if the eye witnesses are actually telling the truth or trying to get on the new paper.


My Favorite Juror is No 8.  At first people thought that he was a business salesman but he is actually an architect. For an architect he is very insightful and does believe that the person is guilty. Over the course of the movie he gains support from his fellow jurors and gets the accused acquitted. The way he gets the people to talk about it and gain evidence that the person is innocent is what i see as an idol for me. I think he is the best character in the movie because he has opposing views and he is good at explaining why.


Over the Course of the movie, the jurors change thier minds. I believe that number 11 , the immigrant worker at first was sure that the person was guilty, but until the fact that the boy would no go back to the scene of the crime, he changed his decision and went with Not guilty.


No 4 is very stern and very calm and really believed that the person was guilty due to an eye witness. Until the old man told NO 4 that she had marks of wearing eye glasses and she could have the possibilty of not seeing anything from 60 ft without her glasses, No 4 gains reasonable doubt.

The movie in general made me think more about human nature and what would people do to get fame. It makes me believe that maybe most of the eye witnesses are telling most lies just to be part of newspaper. It also makes me think that nothing meets the eye and that every human makes mistakes.



Cyber Bullying :o


General Questions
  • Who is the perpetrator in this case? Who is the target?
  • What acts of cyberbullying have happened in this case? How serious would you rank each one as being?

The Perpetrator is Nazar. This is due to the fact that he was the one that created the website that involved Cyber Bullying.

The Target is Chong Wei. Even though he was the one who started it. The case now stands that he is the victim of Cyber Bullying.

The acts of cyberbullying that has happened in this case is
-Insulting: Posting or spreading false information about a person that will cause harm to that person or that person’s reputation.
Targeting: Singling someone out and inviting others to attack or make fun of her or him.
Harassment: Repeatedly sending someone nasty, mean and insulting messages.

Insulting someone and spreading false information is ranked as the most serious in this case due to how effective it could be to hurt a human being. Targeting is the second most serious because it is not as hurtful as Insulting but singling someone out really brings out the depression out of the target. The least serious but still serious is Harrasement due to the fact that it is not as bad as insulting by making false information.

Nazar: How can you defend your actions?

Nazar could defend his actions by saying that it is not his fault that he created this. He was forced to because Chong Wei was being very mean for no reason at all. There was days where Nazar was crying due to people unfriending him because Chong Wei said to. This is why he was some what desperate to do it. You cannot blame the victim, never blame the victim.
