Why should we fight against Modern-Day Slavery and Human Trafficking?

Can you believe that in Malaysia today there is human trafficking and modern-day slavery? Recently, CNN has been looking into modern day slavery activates in Penang. Many people are outraged by this and feel that ending modern day slavery practices is worth fighting for! Do You! In this blog/article I will be talking about modern day slavery and human trafficking.

There was a story of a teenage girl “19” from Cambodia. She was sold from an agency that would get over to Malaysia for $500 a week. That sounded great to her because she could some many for her self and help her family since they were poor. The agency had also agreed to by for flight ticket to Malaysia. Then when she gets to Malaysia it turns out that she only gets $160 a week and then she has to pay for the plane ticket. Then she is kept in Malaysia 10+ years until she only just get back to her home in Cambodia.

How does it actually feel like to be a human trafficking and modern-day slavery?
For most of the modern-day slaves is that they are promised a good pay. They get sent for away from their homes, families or friends. The slaves are forced to work between 12-15 hours of hard labor a day. It takes many years until they the money to get back home or away from the factories. For many it may take long to get away because the agency is paying for the room and food. The biggest problem for the modern-day slaves is that they get their passports taken away from them, this mean that they will not get the chance to go away.

The likely hood for these modern-day slaves and human trafficking in Malaysia is very low for a chance of freedom. Now you can help support and think about the men, women, boys and girls that are being held through labor and human trafficking. This inspires me because believe it is not right to keep someone in for work for 12 hours everyday for every low pay. These life styles will ruin every modern-day salve for the rest of their lives.

François Pienaar couldn’t of made it that far without the help of an important person called Nelson Mandela. Nelson knew from the start when he heard about Francois Pienaar that it would change South Africa and make South Africa more known to people.

François Pienaar known for his known judge meant of the difference of the black and white in South Africa. Being that type of person made him a row modle to the world.

If u could make a new world, what would I change!!


IF I WERE TO MAKE A NEW WORLD, I WOULD WANT THE SOCIETY TO HAVE ONE RELIGION/CULTURE.





"Most men's anger about religion is as if two men should quarrel for a lady that neither of them care for."  ~George Savile, Marquess de Halifax. 


If I were to make a new world, I would make sure that the main change that I would make would be that there is only one religion/ culture. Now the reason for that would because if you think of all the wars and conflicts that have gone threw the world today is for that there is fight over their religion/ culture. For example, lets take World War 2. It all started when one man named Adolf Hitler had a view for that people that were Jewish. Then he got many other people that had the same over view of the Jews. Then started the Nazi party that toke over the German government. Then start making rules that concerned Jews people. After that the start the Concentration Camps that killed many Jews because of there religion. The Nazis wanted to kill all the Jews. They made a World War 2. This starts a war of the Nazi and Jews. Sudan, Ireland and Jerusalem they are same of the countries that have gone their civil War as result of what there is religion. I believe that some of these points while led to a more peaceful world with less war and conflict. This would lead to a more understanding society. In the society there would be less judging on what people would be doing as a result of there Religion.

The HUNGER GAMES Comic

The scene of the hunger Games that I made in the comic was when they had an interview with Caesar Flickerman. I didn’t put all the details; I just put in the main ideas of the interview. The characters I used was Katniss, Peeta and Caesar Flickerman.

I used Bitstrips.com to made my comic.

The HUNGER GAMES Ticket

The ticket I made for the hunger games is like a classic movie ticket. It has a judgment at the bottom giving the reader or ticket purchaser about the Games.” TV’s #1 game show”. As well as the heading of the ticket is “ The hunger Games”. On the side it as the ticket number.

Luttre Psalter

It can be considered a one of a kind book from the 14th century that survives to this day. It portrays the life and times of this time period. It would be a considered source because it was commissioned during the 14th century by a wealthy landowner Geoffrey Luttrell and worked on by various artists also from that time period. The Luttrell Psalter was unique for that time because instead of being written about biblical values and ideas it focused on the contemporary rustic life of that time period. Vivid images and imaginative and fascinating detail give the readers a real picture of life during the 14th century. Images showed corn being cut in the fields, food being cooked, games being played and even animals having fun with their owners. It was a very different type of book for that time.
