Amnesty International is the largest human rights organization. This group of people work together to protect people where their rights are denied. They both investigate and expose the truth to the citizens. This is all done to change bad societies into a safer and free place. The work is able to be done thanks to the donars rather than the government , who provide money to make it all possible. This organization is proof that a Positive Multigenerational Change is Possible. The article I read was "Locking Up Children For Life In The US." This article talks about the issue of youths getting sentences to a life time sentence in jail without the consideration of any factors such as metal illness, abuse, trauma, etc.. The children sentences into an adult jail are more likely to become ... read more

The college I want to attention is Chamberlain Nursing College. They do not offer any sports or clubs. They are not shown on the website. I believe this is because of the rigorous curriculum. The time crunch of two in a half years rather then four can put pressure on a student and I believe this is why they don't include this is their school, to ensure success and focus among students. If they had anything I would join chorus because I have been in it for a long period of time and figure why give up if I truly like to sing. I chose to go to this school because I am passionate to help individuals and to make a change in their life by helping them with their health. Iplan to study abroad when ... read more

1)Friends: Coming to UICCP I was able to meet multiple amazing people who have helped me grow as an individual. Some people have knocked me down but some of the true friends I met here have stayed by my side through a lot of my struggles. 2)Teachers: Over the years I have had different teachers. Some teachers I got close to and they always ask me if I'm okay. I am able to go to them for anything I need. 3)Fun day: A good experience of mine was this day because the teachers allowed us to relieve stress by not going to class and doing fun activities with our friends. 4)Pi Day: This day was fun because the teachers volunteered to get pied in their face for a educational cause. Students pied them and they did ... read more

Many children are born every day, some of those children are sexually or physically abused, sick, murdered, or even put into foster care. Hearing stories about parents who hurt their kids on the news everyday just hurts my heart and makes me sad. Poor innocent, helpless children don't deserve these acts. These types of things have led me to strongly believe in abortion. Every child deserves a chance at being loved by someone rather than going through heart ache and being too young to understand anything. One of my best friends had faced many struggles. She had been verbally abused when her parents would fight. She had been sexually molested by some man when about 7 years old because her parents were not paying attention. As teens she trusted me enough to tell me what happened. ... read more

1)According to the article modern slavery only looks differnt but truly is not. The slaves of today are still minipulated, starved, and made to work for little or no money by their owners. Today there is a largers variety of individuals who are slaves. These victims are of all ages and ethnicities. Owners do not care or set up limits to making their money. 2)This movement againt human sex trafficking connects to the Legacy of President Lincoln because in both they are trying to do what is right to help these victims.
