1. Summarize your article Basically my article is about child prostitution, how much of a big problem it is, someways it starts, and where it is mostly happening in the United States. 2. How does your current event relate to topics or ideas that we have discussed in world history. Explain fully It relates to the topic of slavery and the triangle trade because this article is basically just talking about how children are being taken now and traded in to prostitution, just like how Africans were traded into slavery in the triangle trade. 3. Is there evidence of cause and effect in your article? How so? Yes, one example is that drug dealers are switching over to trafficking children because you have a lower chance of getting caught and if you do it's hard to charge the person and that is causing child trafficking to become a bigger problem because more and more people are taking part in it. 4. What powerful questions does your article make you ask? What information do you need to answer these questions? One question it is making me ask is "what is the government doing about this? I'd need to do more research on the problem and find what solutions the government may be coming up with. I'm also asking my self if there is something I can do to help with this problem.
