Sex Trafficking

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KSGKgcVZbI

In class today, this video was the item i used. The video is about a five year old girl that was sold into slavery by her mother. The young girl was taken by a man into a hotel and that's where she was last spotted. Her body was found not too far from her home a few days later. This is an awful issue right now that needs awareness.

Student Progress Journal

Proposal:

Group Name: Save the Women Foundation Group Members: Breanna Hayden, Joel Linzey, and Neal Renner Purpose: Purpose is to inform, educate, and call to change the problem in Cambodia involving sex-trafficking and its effects on us and the world. Thesis: The Way to stop the problem of sex trafficking in the world and particularly Cambodia is to educate the people and call for the people to actually care about the subject to make a change. Audience: This particular subject will be geared towards people who do not know about this problem and didn’t know it was going on in the world and people who care about people’s rights and being able to make their own decisions. Modes and Media: We will use iMovie and make a video about A Call to Change and The More you and know and speak about the subject and what needs to be done. This method will be helpful in telling our purpose because it is straightforward and will be easy to understand and with this particular audience it will tell them about what we are doing and maybe speak to the ethos side and they will think about how terrible it is. Perhaps use other forms including audio of us interviewing people and get their view on the subject and how they think it affects us in the United States, this will appeal to the senses and make you think. Plan: First we will gather all the information that we can possibly find about the subject to make sure that we know what exactly we are talking about. Every group member can help on this aspect and we can all make a database together. We also need to find different people of different backgrounds to interview about the subject, we need to write a script that we are going to perform through and record, add text and audio to it and make sure that it is recorded right and everything that we need to be on it, is. We also need to discuss our presentation and the order and showing of what we are going to do.

This is all we have done in our groups so far. 11/19/09 30 minutes

Group Project

November 12, 2009 20 minutes

Our group project is going to focus on sex trafficking. We decided we wanted to make a video or some other multimedia device. In the video, we want to show statistics of how many are affected and show the video possibly from a "sex trafficking victims" point of view. We still have more to discuss but this is just a start.

Sex trafficking in Cambodia

My position paper is on sex trafficking in Cambodia. I think this is a good international issue because it is an issue that needs to be resolved. The crime is inhumane and cruel. So many innocent women and children are taken and forced to be in a sex trade. It is awful. The government needs to do more to protect these people and take action against the ones committing the crime.
