India In Itself

The large population of India is 1,155,347,678. That is a whole lot of people! Even though India has a lot of people that massive country still has a lot of poverty. Poverty is in every country but, India has close to the most. The Reasons why India has poverty is because of when the British had rule over India and a whole of Asia. Another reason is the way that India's Economic Policies. The people in India are blaming Liberalizations Policies for one of their biggest ways of making money in that countries drop drastically.

Current Situation: India is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation.  India's largest trafficking problem is men, women, and children are held in debt bondage and are charged labor like: working in brick kilns, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories. Women and girls are trafficked within the country for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced marriage; children are subjected to forced labor as factory workers, domestic servants, beggars, and agriculture workers, and have been used as armed combatants by some terrorist and insurgent groups.


Government authorities have made uneven efforts to prosecute traffickers and protect trafficking victims. Government authorities continued to save victims of sexual exploitation and forced child labor and child armed combatants, and began to show progress in law enforcement against these forms of trafficking.

The slums of India symbolize urban poverty. They create dangerous conditions that compound the poverty which forced them to set up home there. The lack of safe water in Mumbai, families is still forced to buy it even though it is unsafe for them and their children. With the lack of sanitation, waste, disposal, or drainage facilities, open sewer are filled with garbage and human feces. With weak ownerships of the land, the shanty people could be vulnerable to weather, crime, and fire. People who live in the slums get unfair choices from the Government. So they do not get the same benefits as the rich people in India.

The Indian films were followed throughout South Asia. When their popularity gained medium attention they would make 1,000 films annually in different languages and cultures. Now in the 20^th century Indian film has become a World Enterprise just like the Chinese and American film productions.

Bollywood is one of the most popular parts of the Indian Cinema. It is based in Mumbai. Bollywood is also the largest film producer in all of India. Raja Harishchandra by Dadasaheb Phalke was the first Silent Movie of Bollywood. It was mad in 1913. After a lot more movies it took off. Some of the influences for Bollywood were some of the Indian Epics. The Ancient Sanskrit Drama was a very big part of Bollywood’s influence. The Theatre production in India, in my mind was the biggest influence for any film production. The Parsi Theatre which in their plays the blended fantasy, realism, sing, and dance all in to one. Hollywood which is America’s biggest Movie making industry in America. Western Musical Industry which is mostly on MTV which has given them influence since the early 1990’s.

India is a very diverse country and is growing. Some for the worst and some for the best. I hope that things will get better there for the poor people in India.

Learning About India

Current Situation: India is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation.  India's largest trafficking problem is men, women, and children are held in debt bondage and are charged labor like: working in brick kilns, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories.

Tier Rating: Tier 2 Watch List, India is on the Tier 2 Watch List for a fifth consecutive year for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat human trafficking in 2007. Despite the reported extent of the trafficking crisis in India, government authorities made uneven efforts to prosecute traffickers and protect trafficking victims; government authorities continued to rescue victims of commercial sexual exploitation and forced child labor and child armed combatants, and began to show progress in law enforcement against these forms of trafficking.

Migration Stories Part 1

                A place where I would like to live is London, England, because I have always found that area of Europe to be interesting to me. Most of the People there are nice. Great sports city especially for soccer and I really do not mind watching a couple of soccer clubs play. Also their seafood is delicious and I am a very big fan of seafood. There is a lot less fighting with other countries and a smaller threat of having fights with other countries. 

               

                 Another place where i would like to live is somewhere warm and has clear waters like the Caribbean or Central America. Like I said in the other paragraph I love to eat seafood and the islands are filled with seafood. Very close to the waters for swimming and for just laying on the beach. Also some of the people on my mother's side of the family are from Haiti and the Dominican Republic so I could walk the footsteps of my ancestors and do some research on them. 

                

                  Some push forces for London, England is that it is very cold up there during the winter. Also American dollars do not have the same value as the pound in England. Some of the foods that don't have to do with seafood are terrible. Also there is not a lot of sports to do other than soccer, tennis, and golf. 

                 Overall I would like to live in the Caribbean or Central America but right now there is poverty. There is also terrible crime that includes the Drug Car-tell that is killing people and selling drugs all around. Also their economy is lowering so there is a smaller chance of all the nice stores and businesses on the island will be closing down. So a lot of the Carribean and Central America are not going to have their luster within the next few years.

                 Over time my mind will change on where I want to live but, in eight years I will be out of college and will have to make a decision on where to live and where to work at. When the time comes I know I will be ready to chose.

                   

Reviewed Test

We reviewed over the test we took last week. To make sure that you had all of the correct answers.

The Sudan Boys

These boys had to leave their country without their parents because of the Civil war between the Muslim Africans and the Christian Africans. They had to move from camp to camp. Barely surviving, they finally made it to their new home. They thought they would only be there for a couple of weeks but they ended up staying for 10 years. Finally, some of those boys got the chance to live in America with a new family. 5,000 miles away from poverty.

Migration Stories Part 2

America is a very diverse country. Different languages, cultures, and religions. Both of my parents were born in Pennsylvania. My mother was born in Washington, Pennsylvania. My father was born in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. No one really remember's on my father's side where everyone came from. My Grandmother on my Mother's side was born in Alabama on a plantation but to be prevented from going through slavery she was shipped up to Pennsylvania when she was 2. My great Grandmother (Lade Bell) was born in Alabama she was a slave on a plantation but because of her beauty she did not have to go through slavery because the Plantation owner married her and they produced numerous children. My great great grandmother on my mother's side was born in Haiti we don't know where she was from, but we do know that she was came to America in the early 1800's because of stories about slavery in the U.S. so she lived with the Creek Indians in Alabama and married one of them. The name of the creek Indian is vague to her.

Egypt:
3% of Egypt's land is able to produce food. So they have to  import food. They produce cotton, beans, fruit, and oil. There HIV and AIDS rate is lower than most countries.
