 Panorama - Posted By: SOF-EricW

This article was about migration in terms of labor. I say this because in the article it says ''many middle-age people have migrated for economic reasons and not persecution. This may be referred to as labour migration resulting from widespread unemployment in the country. It is also not true that many Ugandans seek refuge due to completely unbearable life here at home. Many of these people are not fleeing starvation and a lack of shelter but are on a search for high life on the streets of London. Surely no one can leave Uganda unless they can pay US $ 1000 for the flight to Gatwick or risk a two month trip on a cargo ship''. So i place this article in the categorys of involuntary and labor, I think its some what involuntary because they dont want to leave there home land there being forced to and its labor becase they need jobs because there economic problem

No Questions

 Gender differeneces in migration - Posted By: SOF-AshleyD

Basically the article is telling me about the difference between men and women to be migrants but focuses on the women. It is also describing how hard it is for the migrant women to find good jobs to take care of their families on the income they receive. Next the article goes into the help that the women overseas get from our government it’s not much but it keeps the children clothed and educated. Also it explains the difference from the 1990’s and now. Basically now our government helps migrants here in the U.S.

 Trafficking of Women Summary - Posted By: SOF-SamirE

Trafficking women is done to most immigrants. They under pay the women. They tell them the grass is greener over here. When the women get here they are underpaid. The women don’t complain because what they make is a lot compared to what they make in their Country.

 children right - Posted By: SOF-JaleelM

it saying in the story tat all kids will grow up in be some thing it do not matter where you come from.it's also say that kids should have the same rights as adult and if you are in a community where kids are aposed to be seen not heard it is hard for them to get there rights.i also thing that kids should have the same right because childen are getting more better at being good so we should have more rights.

2. Will there be another improvement in maybe another 30% increase for the children?

 Labor - Posted By: SOF-EmmanuelL

I read about the trafficing in the labor section. it was about how the parents would sell there choldren for types of money. It was also about how they would sell them for the least amount of money like for five dollors. I read that there was a mother that sold the 3 childrenm for $180 dollors to a fisherman.
why do they sell there children?
IF THEY ARE CAUDGHT WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
how do the kids live after being sold?

 Migration - Posted By: SOF-ElyuriahW

The British collected a number of Nepalese youngsters to the British armed forces. And they collected migrants to come and work for them. They used the migrants of Nepalese for employment purposes only. There are many villages in Nepal where labor migration has been established as a culture of a community.
Economic migration to the Middle East from South Asia and other parts of the world was spurred-on by the oil boom in the early 1970s.

Why do they need migrants to work for them?
How could they end migration?

 What do I think? - Posted By: SOF-DeannaH

The article I read was about children be sold by their own parents into slavery for little as $180. The reason they do this is because of proverty. They are so poor (they live in ghana) that they sale their own children. This needs to be put to a stop.Many people are against it and I am to. Why does the government allow this happen? Most of the children being sold are btween the ages of 3-14 and they are mostly boys. I think this is ridiculous, but how can we change this?

 labor - Posted By: SOF-RogerH

The story was about poor parents that had no money to take care of the child so fishermen would try to buy the children to make them slaves. their parents to work virtually as slaves for others in order for their parents to earn money. There are more than 1,200 children who have been sold into slavery by poor families on the coast of Ghana to fishermen on Lake Volta says the International Organization of Migration.

why do the do this?
why is the goverment not doing nothing?
why do they want the parents to be slaves and not give them a real job?

 migration - Posted By: SOF-AshleyE

the article I have read was about women and mi gration and
For a long time, the issue of women migrants has been low on the international policy agenda. Today, the world has a unique opportunity to change this: For the first time, government representatives from around the globe will be attending a United Nations session specifically devoted to migration. The 2006 High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development offers a critical opportunity to ensure that the voices of migrant women are heard. The explicit recognition of the human rights of women and the need for gender equality is a basic prerequisite of any sound, equitable and effective policy framework that seeks to manage migration in an orderly and humane manner
how do you feel about migration?
do you know anybody thats in migration?

 WOMENS SAFETY - Posted By: SOF-CharlenaH

I WAS READING ABOUT HOW WOMEN ARE SOME TIMES USED AS SLAVES AND COULD NOT GET WHAT THEY WANTED. THEY GOT SLOTERD AND RAPED AND BEAT UP FOR STUFF THEY DID NOT DO. AND IF THEY DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THERE MATE. THE LITTLE GIRLS WAS FORCED TO GET MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE AND HAVING KIDS WITH THAT PERSON THEY WERE FORCED TO MATE WITH. I THINK THAT ALL OF THAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING THEY DO NOT WANT TO LIKE GETTING MARRIED TO SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW AND DO NOT CARE AND PLUS HE'S GROWN. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THREW ALL THAT BECAUSE THAT MAKES NO SINCE AT ALL. MY DAD WILL NEVER WANT ME TO GET MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE. HE TELL'S ME ALL OF TIME TO STAY A CHILD AS LONG AS POSIBLE. HOPEULLY ALL OF THIS WAR AGAINST WOMEN IS SOLVED WHEN I GROW UP BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO THREW ALL THAT

 FOR MISS A - Posted By: SOF-YeremyahR

Woman migration
The article was about woman migration
The relating article didn’t have any solutions to solve the other one problems
So our solutions are to let it be both men and woman to make it easier and its more helpful.
Labor
Parents had to sell their children for money because they was poor and they couldn’t afford them
Our solutions is that they can fundraise or donate money
Another solution is that they can get more jobs or maybe having school for the kids

 chinarose - Posted By: Aruna

In Ghana, West Africa a little over $180 was handed over to the mother of a child and the deal was sealed a child of 3 had just been pawned by his parents to a local fisherman to be used as a diver in the Volta river to arrange fishing nets to facilitate heavy catches. It is estimated that until the practice came to light and exposed, at least 10 children were sold each day by poor parents to fishermen or anybody who was interested in buying them. These children, including some who were only three years old were sold into virtual slave labour for as much as US $180 and as little as $5 in extreme cases. the children was given out by their parents to work virtually as slaves for others in order for their parents to earn money. Ernest Taylor, the project coordinator, said the 1,203 children being reunited with their families represented a small fraction of the Ghanaian children sold by their parents into virtual slavery. Most are boys aged between 3 and 14 who are forced to work long hours casting and drawing nets. They are poorly fed and never paid. Sometimes, they drown in their attempts to retrieve nets caught on tree stumps at the bottom of the lake. The children that have not been sold into slavery to be used by other but have been forced by the economic situations at home to make a livelihood along the coast where they help mend nets and pull catches to the shore.

They said in an AP news report last year reported that some 15,000 Benin children work in Nigerian granite pits cracking stones. 116 have been returned to their homes, some unfortunately have died there.
An analysis into the background of the children show that they come from very poor backgrounds and were sold off when their parents could not afford keeping them around. This crude form of adoption was, perhaps to the parents, the only means by which they-parents and other sibling and the children involved could.
They also said In our part of the world, where the rule is, “survival by all means necessary’, the abuse of the rights of the child is a simple issue of survival. Faced with the harsh realities of poverty parents, institutions and governments have virtually thrown overboard almost all the rights of the African child outlined in the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.

 reading - Posted By: SOF-ShawnD

what i read was about Every year millions of women working millions of jobs overseas send hundreds of millions of dollars in remittance funds back to their homes and communities. These funds go to fill hungry bellies, clothe and educate children, provide health care and generally improve living standards for loved ones left behind. For host countries, the labour of migrant women is so embedded into the very fabric of society that it goes virtually unnoticed. Migrant women toil in the households of working families, soothe the sick and comfort the elderly. They contribute their technical and professional expertise, pay taxes and quietly support a quality of life that many take for granted.

 ms. aruna- migration - Posted By: SOF-NadiraJ

The summary i read was about migration. It was about how immigrants went to different countries to find work, food, etc. The money the immmigrants earned went to fill hungry bellies, clothe poor children and educate the uneducated.As work, migrant women, they toiled the households of more wealthy fa milies, they soothed the sick and also helped the elderly. They also contributed their technical,professional expertise pay takes and try to make those important whose live s has been taken for granted.

As i read thi article I wondered:

1. How come some countries had money and the others didnt?

2. How come some parts of the migrated countries have money and the othewrs dont?

3. Why didn't the people inwhich the immigrants cleaned their homes, why didn't they pay the immigrants a little extra?

 Proverty of rights on a child - Posted By: SOF-AllenG

This article on Proverty of rights on a child is about how over in Ghana, West Africa, parents are selling there children for high as $180 to as low as $5 to fisherman because they were so poor. Fortunately, little over 1200 children were reunited with there family thankfully to Ernest Taylor. But that was only a small fraction of Ghana.

I have 4 questions about this situation:
1. Why would they let there parents sell there children to fisherman under 5?

2. Who came up with the idea to let parents sell there children?

3. How could any parent sell there child for as low as $5?

4. I wonder if this still could be in effect even if they say its over in that part of Ghana.

 Youth Right - Posted By: SOF-DonteS

The image of youth today is to be seen and not heard by the adult population. Today the teenage population is being the most rebelus population. It is also been taken advantage by most of the adult population, espeicaly since adolences have been able to be employed for part time jobs. On daily occation teenagers have been talked down to by adults. Teenagers rights are highly redused by Gaurdians and by law.

How are the rights of youth violated by migration?
Do youths have a right to migration aswell as adults?
Is there anyway youth can cause any form of migration?

 Xenophobia and Discrimination - Posted By: SOF-JasmineW

The article's topic was based on xenophobia and discrimination. The article was talking about how a man named Simon attented a christmas party that was organized by the manager from work. The people who also attented were some of his friends. Simon stayed in a small group of people that consisted of students, engineers, IT specialist, lawyers, and laboures. They were all having a good discussion until it became political. A man named Phil introduced his thoughts of manners. He stated that he can't believe those bastards killed our children in Bali. Kick them, send them back to where they belong. They can't fit in with our, the Australian. Simon stated his opinion about what Phil said and Simon asked Phil you are trying to say that we should deport, kick out, detain every single Muslim and person who doesn't fit into of society? You are telling me that al Muslims are terrorist and all of them hate us? Phil said yes. Simon felt as though that was vey ignorant and discrminating because he felt like all Muslims aren't terroist and everyone should be treated equally. He also thought that people discriminating other people was over and thar was over a hundred yeas ago.

Do you think what Phil said was worng?

Do you think other people think that all Muslims are terrorsits?

Are their more people like Phil still out there?

Does discrimination still exist agianst other races?

What can we do to prevent it?

 Trafficking of Women - Posted By: SOF-BreannaB

This article was about men who abuse women. They kidnap women and rape them and then let other men rape the women. Trafficking is selfish and unfair to women. We shouldn't have to be used for sex. Each year women are tricked into things that they really don't want to do. Trafficking is a new slave trade. Many people are involved in Trafficking.

 My Assignment for Ms. A - Posted By: SOF-DemitryB

Sub-Saharan Africans are increasingly migrating to North African countries. United States has always been a nation of immigrants while others believe illegal entry and threats to national security are unprecedented. Nicolas Sarkozy succeeded in passing a law that he argues will finally allow the government to control immigration.

Why does the United States accept Immigrants ?

What lead to Immigrants ?

Why do they migrate ?

 Voluntary and Involuntary Migration - Posted By: SOF-KierraO

The article I read was about Voluntary and Involuntary migration. It was basically talking about the different reasons why immigrants eave ther home palces and move to different places voluntary or involuntary. So they gave and example of a girl named Tina who was 27 years old. They talked about how she lefft Uganda to find her boyfriend, but where she lived was falling apart anyway; She went to go find her boyfriend in Manchester. Also how the girl Tina made it and found her boyfriend and she sent backserveral thousand pounds back to Uganda to plot land and herold house to be knocked down. This is basicallywhat this one article was about. This would be a case of voluntary migration because she wanted to leave where she lived. But some involuntary migration moght be because of natural disasters or life or death situations.

 Poverty and the Rughts of the Child - Posted By: SOF-MarciaD

Poverty and the Rights of the Child
This story was about how poor parents over in Ghana, West Africa were selling their children to fisherman for money. These children were from ages 3 to 14, there were mostly boys. The children were forced to go under water and put fish nets at the bottom of the rivers so that the fisherman could catch big fish. These children were totured because they barely ate and for their hard labor they were not piad. Some of them died because they drowned.
I want to know:
How old was the children that died?
&
Did the fisherman get arrested for doing this to children?
&
What did the government have to say about this kind of act?

 genders - Posted By: SOF-AshleyC

When reading this you cant help but feel bad cause you know it took people a long time to really see how much they really bring to the united states(woman) more then half of all migants are women and they are confronted with many things from a day to day baseis.they send millions of dollars back to there homes for general needs to be taken care of.for a long time they where last onthe list for every thing but this brings me to ask two questions 1 why did it take this long for the policymakes to acknowled this? 2. what are they doing for others that are not migrants but lower income?

 WOMEN IMMIGRATION - Posted By: Mahcaiyah

THE ARTICAL THAT I JUST READ ABOUT WAS ABOUT THE CASE OF WOMEN MIGRATING TO THE UNITED STATES OR ANY WHERE ELSE. ALMOST A HUGE AMOUNT OF THE PEOPLE WHO MIGRATE, ARE WOMEN OF ALL DIFFERENT AGES AND SMALL, YOUNG CHILDREN. 95 MILLION OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MIGRATED IN THE LAST FOURTY YEARS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO BE WOMEN. THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICAL SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT TO GET THE IMFORMATION OUT THERE BECAUSE WHEN WOMEN MIGRATE, THEY DO IT FOR A NOUMEROUS AMOUNT OF REASONS LIKE POVERTY, STARVATION, HOMELESSNESS, AND MUCH MORE. ALTHOUGH IT IS A FACT THAT MEN SEEM TO BE ALMOST MORE LIABLE TO RECIEVE BETTER JOBS AND ALL, WOMEN CAN DO JUST AS GOOD. WOMEN WHO'VE MIGRATED THAT WOTK OVER SEA'S SEND ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT THEY EARN HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES. THIS SHOWS THAT WOMEN CAN DO ALOT MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

1. IS IT EVER EASY TO MIGRATE?

2. DO YOU LIKE THE PLACE THAT YOU MIGRATE TO?

3. DO YOU FACE ANY DISCRIMINATION WHEN YOU MIGRATE?

4. DO YOU EVER FEEL ANY REGRETS TOWARDS YOUR MIGRATION?

 Immigration - Posted By: SOF-AllenG

I think immigration does effect me because today in schools, if you are not from this country and you don't speak english well, kids may tease you and that can be resulted in having to go through all this drama because somebody talking about an immigrant. Actually, this can go on any where like public places. It effects me here because I have to worry about how this immigrant will take it.

Immigration does not affect me because the people need something to eat because they have less money and have too many kids. But some people have problem with the immigrants because they have the somme jobs the people want .

Immigration doesn' really effect me because from what I know all of my family members that I know personally are all usa citizens. Immigration does effect my ancestors though cause they were brought over from africa into the usa. But im not even sure because I dont really know my history and where I really come from.

we i think imagration effects me because now people would do any to get work. people that are imagration don't play they just get there work done and people that's not in immargation they play around to much and then all you going to see is immagrations getting all the good jobs. well that's what i think

 Immigration and Me - Posted By: SOF-AndersonJ

Immigration affects me everday. I mean every where I go I come across an immigrant, whether it be at the local corner store , construction site, or just on the street. This affects me , through the fact that I dont judge on for their race. Also if it were not for immigrant I and most other people would not be here today.
