The violence in Philadelphia is bad...very bad...people out of the blue getting hurt and kiling people for no reason. Sometimes there is a reason but there’s no reason for a person to kill another person.
Like my hood if you walk down the street and you don’t live down there u would get jumped are getting ran out the hood. The act of violence in Philadelphia is horrible, we need to be ashamed about how we acing because it’s unneeded.

I realize NYC is 6 times the size of Philadelphia but in 2005 NYC had 4 times as many violent crimes as Philly, but you never hear about NYC being an unsafe place to live. If NYC has 40,000 violent crimes per year and Philly’s has 10,000 violent crimes, in reality which place is more unsafe? I could show you a crime map of NYC, Chicago, DC, and La that would make you never want to step within 1000 miles of those cities.

Crime is everywhere in the cities. Certain sections are where 95% of the crimes take place. Is there spillover into what are seemingly safe neighborhoods? Yes but its exception not the norm. Just like Manhattan is going to be safer than parts of the Bronx/Queens, Center City is going to be safer than West/North Philly

Statistically you're more likely to die in a car crash driving around in suburbia than you are to die as an innocent victim of gun violence in the city.

(You're also much more likely to die on the drive to the airport than you are in the plane. People fear irrational phenomena because they don't feel in control of their lives, not because of actual risk analysis.)

As for Philly's housing values, it's not "worth it" to live anywhere but the exurban fringe of a Sunbelt city (say, Phoenix) if you're doing a strictly economic comparison of housing prices and incomes. But people value intangibles (culture, lifestyles, family). That's why people pay $2,000 a month for apartments the size of boxes in Manhattan. They're not crazy; they're just putting value in other things.

Philadelphia's housing has been historically undervalued when compared to its peers in the Northeast (NY, Boston, DC). Philly's basically playing catch-up now

I think Invisible city class is about talking pictures about things people see every day but don’t pay any mind to and make a documentary about and describe it in your own words.

Well the pictures I took were about the natural environment and how everything in the park is different. I took pictures of different trees and leaves. I think the pictures I took match the class because we suppose to take picture that we are not used to taking.

The trip was fun because we took our class art stuff to this big conference and showed all of our work and we had a lot of people ask questions.

I actually like the trip we want on because it was different because it was better than being in school and sitting in the bored house all day chilling on Skype and MySpace.
This conference really help me out because in give me a little idea what I want to do in the future.

I felt that that confrence was very good and understanding I understood about the woman migration an human rights i understood alot about that.

Trafficking women is done to most immigrants. They under pay the women. They tell them the grass is greener over here. When the women get here they are underpaid. The women don’t complain because what they make is a lot compared to what they make in their Country.

I read about the trafficing in the labor section. it was about how the parents would sell there choldren for types of money. It was also about how they would sell them for the least amount of money like for five dollors. I read that there was a mother that sold the 3 childrenm for $180 dollors to a fisherman.
why do they sell there children?
IF THEY ARE CAUDGHT WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
how do the kids live after being sold?

The story was about poor parents that had no money to take care of the child so fishermen would try to buy the children to make them slaves. their parents to work virtually as slaves for others in order for their parents to earn money. There are more than 1,200 children who have been sold into slavery by poor families on the coast of Ghana to fishermen on Lake Volta says the International Organization of Migration.

why do the do this?
why is the goverment not doing nothing?
why do they want the parents to be slaves and not give them a real job?

i feel reall strongly about people taking women for granted number on because i am a young women and without women alot of things could not happen like for examples baby's. i dont understand how some poeple like that towards a sex that mankind depens on.

1. i would like know what is going threw peoples head to make them think men are better then women.
2. i want to know how the women ell when they cannot do diffrent thing because of there sex

If immigration effect you?
I think immigration does effect you I believe it effect everybody. You don't have to move to a different country you could just move into a different area of your city. So, yes i do believe migration do effect me and everyone else and it is very important.

well i woudent care like that cause i am not one of them

we i think imagration effects me because now people would do any to get work. people that are imagration don't play they just get there work done and people that's not in immargation they play around to much and then all you going to see is immagrations getting all the good jobs. well that's what i think

i am a bit nervous about then meeting because i will be representing my school immigrants around the world and myself. i think i am goin to contribute by giving my opion on how i feel about immigation and also giving some of solutions. i look forward to learning new terms and new people, and other people point of view

Well when i reflect on 9/11 I get stuck all over again because the first sene i remeber is when the people were jumping out of the windows trying to survive and took they chance i can picture them prayin to god for life and for them to survive the jump.
I also remeber seeing people calling their families just to say bye ands it just make me wanna cry when see that all over again 5 years laterI just thank god that wasn't me and I feel bad for the families that it happen too. I just pray for everybody that it happen to

THAT WAS A TRUE THING U WAS TAKING ABOUT AN PEOPLE DONT REALIZE ITS DIFFERENT KINDS OF TRAFFICING BUT MOST PEOPLE DONT NO BOUT TRAFFICING WOMEN.

From the passage I've just read it was about female trafficking and how females are promised a better life but when they get to their new distination they are doing labor work like prositution farming work like just being treated like slaves. If one of my family memebers got human traffic I would be devastated and sad, just like cant really believe it would happen to them. This is why I would not make part with Human Trafficking nor Trafficking of Women.
