Reflection

When asked to pick a controversial topic what do you pick? There a ton of topics. At first I picked the sex slave industry. I was set on doing that topic until I couldn’t find information and just they sex slave industry. So I decided to go with a topic that still incorporated the sex slave industry but that covered other things as well and that’s how I chose Human Trafficking. I had learned a little about human trafficking through TV shows and books but I want to learn more about it. Making a blog was new to me. I knew what a blog was but I wasn’t sure how to start. At first I thought that it was a bad idea because no one besides the class was going to read it but it has turned out really good. Making and maintaining the blog has given me some great skills.

I have learned a lot about Human Trafficking. I new that Human Trafficking was a problem but I didn’t know that it was such a problem that it is the third largest illegal trade in the world today. I also didn’t know that the U.S. is a destination country. I feel that this a very controversial topic and that it is probably wont be solved in a long time even if all. There are so many bad people and bad governments in our world today that it is just too hard to control everybody and everything. Yes, we can try but in the end doesn’t evil prevail?

In the second quarter I hope to find out a little more about what the U.S. government and the UN are doing to try and control/stop Human Trafficking. I would also how I can get involved from school and how I can get other students to get involved. Next I am going to read Not for Sale. I am also going to try to find a movie about Human Trafficking.
