Many people were arrested during the g20, they haven’t done anything and weren’t even allowed to go to court to see if they can go to jail or not .On the news it showed people being released from detention centers. These people gave information that the police there were very rude, they’ve have been argued by police, they weren’t even able to get clean drinking water. These people have experienced a terrible moment in their lives. Some peaceful protestors were even arrested or beaten for no apparent reason. Many people have been wrongfully accused by police officers, but I don’t think the police officers have done that by accident though. It’s probably because of the power they had during the g20, the power to arrest people.

The g20 caused a lot of problems to the citizens who were wrongfully accused by police officers, and were beaten and/or arrested. The police officers behavior was unacceptable and not right in my opinion. Innocent protesters were put in detention centers that would not even given clean water to drink from. Many people who wanted to voice out their opinions were arrested, many peaceful protestors were beaten, many people were put in to detention centers for no reason, and these were the behaviors of the police officers.

Seal Hunting
Should the seal hunt in northern Canada be banned? What is more important the extinction of the seal or the Inuit’s culture of seal hunting being taken away? Debates are being brought up about whether the seal hunt in northern Canada should be banned or not. In my opinion the seal hunt should be banned because of the fact that they are becoming endangered. But seal hunting is the culture of the Inuit’s in the north of Canada ; they eat seal and make their skin into clothes. But can they hunt seal too much? There are many pros and cons about seal hunting that makes people think whether seal hunting should be banned or not?
The reason why seal hunting shouldn’t be banned is because it is the Inuit’s culture to seal hunt. Inuit’s are known for seal hunting, and they use parts of the seal to help them survive. The Inuit’s eat their meat, and make their skin into clothing. But they are also reasons for not hunting seals which are because they are becoming endangered. And I know that it may seem unprofessional for me to say it, but they are so cute, they faces are just adorable making it heart breaking seeing them being slaughtered.
There are many pros and cons to seal hunting. The pros are that it is the culture of the native people to hunt seal. But the cons are they are becoming endangered and they are very beautiful animals. But in my opinion seal hunting should be banned, just by looking at the cons makes me realize that I do not support seal hunting. I know it may seem cruel that I do not support seal hunting but I eat pigs, cows and chickens, but the truth is, is that they aren’t endangered. Debates are heating about seal hunting in Canada , and in my opinion I am against seal hunting.
Sweatshops
Are sweatshops really necessary? Is it okay to endanger a human life in these dangerous work environments? Should we allow people who work in sweatshops to be treated unjustly and paid a minimum wage? Well, I don’t think so. People all around the world are involved in sweatshops for many reasons such as, the desperate need of money, but these people don’t know what there up against. Sweatshops are dangerous in many ways: the owner of the sweatshops hits/beats the employees if they do not work to their standards. And the places people in sweatshops work in are very unstable in a way that the machines can fall on them endangering their lives. I don’t think sweatshops should even be legal because of the torture people have to go through just to earn a small amount of money.
The people who work in sweatshops are treated badly, treated like slaves. People who work in sweatshops don’t really have a choice, because the usual case is that these people badly need money and would do anything to get it, so they end up working in a place where they would soon regret. I feel very bad for people who work in sweatshops because of the abuse they have to go through. Most of the time they aren’t paid minimum wage, they are paid bellow minimum wage. These people are fighting for their lives, but sweatshops just make that struggle even worse. People get hurt by their employer everyday if they don’t meet their standards. These employers don’t know how hard their employees are working, all the stress they have been through. People in sweatshops risk their lives every day, from the abuse they go through by the amount of work they have to do, to the physical abuse by their employers, to the death deifying truth that working in sweatshops don’t help their lives, but takes it away.
Life is a beautiful thing, you cannot replace it, people would do anything thing to save it in this case work in sweatshops. The truth is money is one of the things you need to help you survive, and when people don’t have money they would do anything to get it, so they can pay for food, shelter, water, to live. People in sweatshops are desperate for money, they really need it, some people may know the dangers of sweatshops, some people don’t, but they would do it anyway just to earn money. Sweatshops are dangerous, cruel, and painful; people who work in sweatshops will soon regret it.

Poverty and Death
Hunger, poverty, diseases and illnesses, these are the silent killers of children all around the world. The number of children dying all around the world increases each year, and right now 22,000 children in the world die each day. Many children can’t afford food, and can barely have one meal a day; some children even skip a day of food because of poverty. Some countries are filled with deadly diseases and illnesses, and a lot of these children in these types of countries such as Africa don’t have enough money to get immunization to these illnesses. Many children all around the world, experience the pain and suffering of poverty which can lead them to a terrible life style or even death.
In the world, children face horrible fates which are extremely surprising to people who don’t experience the harm of poverty. In the world, 22,000 children die each day.1 child dying every four seconds.15 children dying every minute. That’s like a 2010 Poverty has taken away many children’s lives; the children who survived are faced with a terrible lifestyle. Around the world 2.5 billion people lack the access of improved sanitization. 1 billion children are deprived of one or more services essential to survival and development. 148 million under 5 years old in developing regions are underweight for their age. 101 million children are not attending primary school, with more girls than boys missing out22 million infants are not protected from diseases by routine immunization. 8 million children worldwide died before their 5th birthday in 20094 million newborns worldwide are dying in the first month of life. 2 million children fewer than 15 are living with HIV .Poverty is everywhere where it is least expected.
Deaths, poverty they are both connected and have caused much trouble in the world. People who are involved in poverty are missing out in the beauty of life. The terrifying statistics about poverty and death, gives us the sight of what the real world is like. Not all people have an average salary, not all people can afford a three coarse meal, and not all people can survive.Friday, December 10, 2010
Gay Pride
Equality, whenever you hear that word you think of people from different cultures, different skin tones but equality isn’t all about that. Gay people and lesbians, in our society some people don’t accept them, in the whole world some people don’t accept them. Equality isn’t only about accepting people from other countries ,its about accepting people as a whole, no matter whether they are black or white, are gay, are a lesbian. In the world today people who are gay are made fun of, people are disgusted by them, I don’t think this is right. Gay people and lesbians should have the right to do what they want to do, they aren’t hurting anyone, and they aren’t causing any harm to the society so we should just let them be. All people have the rights to do what they want to do; there aren’t rules that detain us from letting out the person inside of us, showing our true colors. Gay people should be able to express there love and emotions for people of the same gender, they should have the right to marry each other, people shouldn’t treat them as outcasts; they are just like you and me. When gay people and lesbians hold hands in public, dress in a fashion to show that they are gay, people look at them differently. Some people just don’t accept these people in our community, in our world. When gay people turn their backs people make fun about them, say cruel things about them. Gay people are stared at, given dirty looks by others. But it don’t see anything wrong in gay people and lesbians they just are interested in people from the same gender as them, they aren’t out killing people so why are some people making such a big deal out of it? Is there really a problem with people likening someone from the same gender? Gay people are just like you and I, we all have different interests and different perspectives of life but inside we are all equal and should be treated that way. Gay people and lesbians should have the freedom to do whatever they want, to show affection of someone from the same gender, they should have the freedom to dress the way they want to. It may seem different seeing two men holding hands when their walking down the street, but they aren’t hurting anyone, they shouldn’t be made fun of, they should be treated equally as others.
Gay people and lesbians are people to, there like you and me, so why are they treated like aliens, outcast, wild animals .They are being made fun of, teased every single day about there beliefs, about their interest I just think this is completely wrong. equality is usually a term used between peoples backgrounds but people should realize it applies to gay people as well .Gay people should have the rights to like someone from the same gender as them, the rights to marry a person that’s the same gender as them. Why do some people see them differently? Why do some people make fun of them? Why do people stare at them? Gay people are human beings too, everyone from the outside is different, but from the inside we are all the same and should be treated that way.Friday, December 3, 2010
Rasicm,Discrimination and Stereotypes
Skin color, race, and appearance, everyone’s different in their own special way but we should all be treated equally. Doesn’t matter about how we look like, our skin color, what country we are from, this doesn’t make anyone deserve racial discrimination, racist comments and stereotypes. They shouldn’t be attacked by the treacherous and mocking words they hear from other people about them. There are many stereotypes circling the world about people from other countries that are truly wrong and racist. These comments can really hurt people, and makes them not proud about their culture. Everyone should be proud of the country there from, and be proud of who they are. Racism and stereotypes decrease their self esteem and make them feel sad, depressed, ashamed, and even angry to be from the country they are from. These comments, these remarks haunt people for the rest of their lives, people get treated unequally from others just because of their race, and this should be stopped.
Black skin tones, white skin tones, tan skin tones shouldn’t be a problem in the world, there just the color of out skin. People get racist comments, discriminated and are not treated equally every day just by the color of their skin. For example some people look at people with black skin tones funny, staring rudely at them and talking behind their backs. People even tend to become rude when a black person comes up to them to ask them a question. They stare, ignore them or answer them in a rude manner. Some black people even get arrested some times for having a “suspicion” by the police of committing a crime; this is mostly influenced by their color. People with different colored skin tones should not be treated this way and doesn’t deserve in anyway this type of disrespect.
Cruel people like to tell people something about someone that is completely not true, but just thought so because of their skin tone and culture .This is very brutal upon people who are made fun of because of rumors that spread around because of their race, this is called stereotyping. When people look at you and assume that you are for example a criminal, trouble maker, just because your black is totally untrue and unacceptable. These comments can really hurt someone. People get teased, and people are scared of you just because of your skin tone and culture. There are many stereotypes everywhere that are told about certain cultures that are completely not true. For example all Asian have a rice cooker and a karaoke machine, and people tend to refer to Asian people skin tones as “yellow”. White people are apparently not good dancers and have name brand designer clothes, this isn’t true at all. People get hurt about these stereotypes that are heard everywhere, it influences others thoughts about people when it is completely not true.
Why are people discriminated because of their culture? Why do some people believe stereotypes that are completely untrue and apply them to others? Why do people treat others unequally just because of their skin tones? People are hurt, mentally and even physically from hearing lies about them that people tend to think are true. People are people, humans are humans, everyone’s appearance may be different but inside we are all the same. People have to stop discriminating others. People have to stop treating others unequally. People have to stop hurting people by the things they say and do. We can change. We can make a difference out in the world. Everyone is equal and should be treated equally.
