Erik Castillo World History/B3 Ms. Held 19 March, 2012 The word impossible is a word that makes its self impossible therefore it is impossible, which in this world it does not exist unless you decide to mock the word impossible. I cant draw, i cant be an athlete, i cant run, its impossible. Can't is what people believe when they think impossible is after them. Yeah i couldn't draw, yeah i was not the fastest, yeah i was not and athlete, and yeah i said it was impossible. The best people that creat music, cars, computers, telescopes, iPads, soccer goals, football touchdowns, ect... are the people that set the standard and they are the people that the new generation looks up to.

Moder slavery is illigal and diffrent from the slavery from the past because slavery from the past was seen as a punishment, labor, and form of human moral through out the past years. Moder slavery is illegal. In current day sex slaves are seen in movies and in other types of media and ofcourse in real life. It was said that lincoln owned slaves yet he did something to fight aginst it. Modern day slavery is sex trafficing because they are forced to do it or if not a punshment i think would be given. It should be stopped, no one should be slave in this world. No one shuld be forced to do things they dont want. Sex trafficing is not right.... read more
