This video is just too funny! Gladys and I would be friends I think!!
I saw the movie "Taken" this weekend. Wow! It was so suspenseful I thought i might
pee. Anyway, It was great!! It deals with the subject of human trafficking. Human
trafficking is basically modern day slavery. There are an estimated 600,000 to 800,000
humans trafficked every year. Usually, people are lured to another country on false
pretenses of a job. Often they are asked for a down payment to secure their spot.
Once they reach their destination, their papers and passports are taken and they are
forced to work in horrible conditions. I have decided to focus one of my papers this
semester on trafficking. I think this topic needs to be brought to light. It's a topic
that is not often studied, because unlike other human rights issues, the victims are
hostages and have no voice. This blog is a little random, but it was on my mind.
