Child labor are happening all around the world including the most developed countries like USA or Europe and we have made many things to stop it like big projects, small campaign, donation,… However if you look at what we are doing again, we are increasing the chances of child labor. We’re trying to stop child labor with boycotting or arresting the owner. We think we know child labor but actually, we don’t

All the campaign we are doing in western an d all the project to stop child labor is slowly supporting child labor. We’re starting to boycott the company with child labor but think about it, if the company is bankrupt, the children will lose their jobs and their family will starve or they will have to work in a worst condition than the job they used to have because they don’t have a choice. Child labor is helping the economy and the children, the children are not angry because they have a chance to earn money and the economy prices can be lower. If the world is child labor free, the price of all product we use will be raise through the roof. Plus, are all of you people willing to pay more to stop child labor. Most people will deny right?

In my opinion, the solution to child labor is to leave it alone and let it fix itself so we will not cause anymore bad consequences for the children. The sign of child labor could be economic growth because when the world get richer, there will be more factory which means that there will be more chance of child labor or slavery. I think that we should not do anything to stop child labor, for now.

Another oil spill? Not a surprise… However this time it happen in Mexico where the seafood are exported to USA and other countries. The oil have damage many sea creatures and their lives, affecting the food chain of the eco-system and our perspective of seafood. This lead to shrimps without eyes, Crabs having holes in the shells, Shrimps with their babies attach to them and much more. Consequently the government got mad and tried to blame someone and perhaps the sea creatures will no longer be edible.
No one is to take the blame for this aftermath in my opinion. Everyone not only need seafood but they need oil, too and how do you expect oil to get to you without being exported from other countries? You don’t expect it to fall down from the sky don’t you? This is just another accident and everyone in this world makes mistakes all the time. If I am the government I would not panic or blame other people, instead I would just figure out ways to solve this problem.
The government might be facing a dark future when they will need to think of other ways to replace the seafood products. I do feel sorry for Mexico because what can they do next? The chemical are that cleans the oil spill are toxic, too, so who can do this job? If you don’t clean the ocean, the oil might keep spreading or will stay there forever. However if you do clean the oil spill, it might damage the sea creatures and humans, too. What choice can they take?
After reading this article, it changes my perspective about seafood and I think I will be more grateful when I eat it. I hope in the future that Mexico will fix the oil spill in someways and I hope that it won’t affect the world.

Dear people,

I am writting this letter to inform you that you can’t ask someone kill themselves because you said so.

What if suddenly someone ask you to kill yourself, you will surely refuse right? The same thing with asking other people this question. Who controls your life and death? Clearly in the world no one can. People have freedom to do anything they want besides hurting other people. Words can not control you, only convince. Everyone have their own freedom. Everyone wants to live right? You can’t demand people to do something for you without a reason. If they don’t relate to you like a brother or sister, it does not make sense that people will die just because you said so. And what if the person say no to it, what can you do about it? Nothing. On this earth, all human have many great things to achieve. Death will end in pain and will break people’s heart that cares about you like your friends or family. Even when you have something sad, you can talk about it to someone instead of choosing to diei guess

As a person, you can handle pain in other ways, some people like to handle pain with death but there are much smarter and wiser ways. If you waste your life, it is a disgrace to your parent. They raised you and help you to become a good person and you threw it into the dump. Life is more than just a gift, it’s something precious that you can lose anytime. Suiciding is an insult to your dignity, people will view you as a weak person who can not take the pain as a human. These are the reasons why people don’t want to end their life

In conclusion I wish you never try to choose death as an answer to a problem. Death does not come to you only you can come to death

Dhaka government have promise the people that they will remove 10 feet of the houses but instead they lied and took away 5 times more than they promised. People were mad because the government didn’t keep their words and right now, most are homeless but some people have nothing left. Their money, their houses, their food, their furniture are all gone. I think that the government lied to the citizens because if they said to expand 50 feet, everyone would deny and prevent the expansion. After the government do this, they just ignore the complains and consequences of the people. Unfortunately no one even support fighting the government and even the police didn’t do anything. If you don’t protect justice you shouldn’t be call a police anyway. This makes me think that I could not trust government anymore even an American government. If I am the government of Dhaka, I will surely give people a place to live and food to eat. Everyone have the same rights? So why didn’t anyone including other government do something about this? Seriously what if I just told you that your neighbor house will be destroy but instead I destroy your house, too? The same thing with Dhaka, if you have something to say, do something about it!

In South Sudan, some young girls in their family are given away for family’s debt of killing or money. Like when your brother or father killed someone accidentally or purposely, one of that daughter will be given away to the other family to replace that person. The girl will soon be treated like property which the other family can either rape her continuously or make her to work for them. The family will put all their anger on that girl. Can you believe this?

The article stated that this law is a tradition in their country and they will not stop doing it. Seriously, that is a poor excuse for a crime. The government know about this, so why don’t step in and take action? The government even gave up and did nothing about it. This shows that the government of Africa is powerless of controlling the citizens. The government can do something about this but they might just don’t want to. Why don’t the girls just stand up and do something about it? Like start a revolution to stop it. If I was Atia Odongi I will run away from the family and try to unite with other girls that have the same situation.

What about their families? They care about their problem than their care about their daughter? Every person’s issue should be handled by themselves not other people. This will affect big time on women’s future generation. The world will view Africa as a country who does not care to protect women’s rights.

Racism have always been people issues in society but this article really surprise my that Zimmerman could do something as cruel as that. No matter how you spin this situation, the right will always go to Trayvon. However in my opinion, I think Zimmerman response is not all the way wrong, he was just trying to protect his property. I don’t think that this happen because of racism and the article mention no proof of Martin Zimmerman being racist. Plus, why does this shook the whole nation? This is just another crime which happens everyday. The world is looking at this in a racist like a white guy shooting a black guy and I believe that there are so much article of Trayvon so I believe that the writer have twisted in a way that make us think racist so we would be angry. Black people have made up little population on Earth but made up about half crimes on Earth total. So why don’t we stop those situation instead of this?

v1. To pass high school, I need to improve my way of learning and studying in the future. For example: I should not wait to do my homework at the last minute and I should revise more than 2 days for the test or quizzes. I should do my homework with some effort instead of just finish it. I need to ask my teacher for my weakness. I hope these strategy will help me be successful in high schoool

I believe that I can give good point and I can strengthen my writing with different techniques like this quote “Plus, everyone needs to have time to have fun with family and friends, including you.” I think that I’ve greatly improve my writing fluency because I don’t repeat the ideas or repeat words over and over in each paragraphs. I think I’ve use some techniques that we learn in Humanities class to make my writing better.
My difficulty is when I have to think of ways to convince people instead of just listing why this is not good for students. I’m also having problem with making blog post more creative instead of complaining about teacher and parents but I didn’t really try to solve this problem.
I start taking other people’s ideas and turn it in a way that it is mine. I also listen to people’s complaint.
I would have check my punctuation and word choice like instead of saying needed I suppose to change it into necessary. I would have put more effort and checking into my writing because I made lots of basic mistakes. I should have write a final draft because this writing is just my second draft.

Preamble: When you go to school, it is needed for student to have free time doing sports instead of being stress at home doing homework and preparing for the test. Student came here to have fun and learn but sometimes too much homework at once can cause you stress and can affect your performance at school. We student are forced to do whatever the teacher and parents give like test. This is why student should be independent and have their voice and have the same right as teacher and parents so they don’t decide or control all the things for us.

Declaration of Student Rights: Everyone have the same rights in school right? Parents should let student have their freedom and not to be forced to do things just because they want you, too. Teachers should add more break time instead of 15 minutes I mean seriously, what can you do with 15 minutes? Teachers should give less homework everyday because they should know that we have other subjects homework to do, too. Plus everyone need to have time to have fun with friends and family, including you.

List of Complaints/Grievances:
They make decisions before asking us
They give us too much homework
They put 2 test on the same day
They give us very little break
Lunch money is expensive but the food is bad

Statements of Prior Attempts to Redress Grievances: Those are our perspective about teachers and parent and teacher should do something about this. We are not your dummy, controlling us and telling us what to do. Students made this school successful not teachers, so lets stand up and do something about it

Declaration of Independence: In the future, we expect that our voice is heard by all teacher, principal and any other people that make decisions. Also if we vote for something to improve or change, the school need to make it happen
