Influences of global human trafficking issues on Nigeria: a gender perspective.
This story talks about how poverty is one of the biggest reasons for human trafficking. They need money so people take advantage of that by telling them they would work for someone else, but in fact they are just going to pimp them out. It says that millions of women and young girls are the most common victims. They are transported to another location and are then sold. The most common place they are transported after being sold is western Europe, the Middle East, Japan, North America and Australia. It says that the reasons why they target women and young girls are because of the lack of knowing of their rights. I thought it was going to be long and boring but in fact it was very interesting and that's why I chose this story to compare to the other.
Similarities:
*Both talked about human trafficking
*Both talked about women in their stories
Differences:
*One was talking about that the incident occured in Austin,Tx.
*The other talked about the incident occuring in Nigeria
*One talked about how they were forced into doing labor w/very little food,and a woman being raped repeatedly.
*The other talked about how they were taking advantage of the situation of being poor and in need of a job. Also talked about how they took advantange because they didn't know their legal rights.

Assignment 8 Blinkx Video
The thing that probably caught most of every ones attention was the stiff-armed salute. What's really eye grabbing is that all the people who were loyal to Hitler did it. Why I think they did this was because they were loyal,it showed honor, and it also showed respect to Hitler and thays why I think they would would salute him in this manner.
The 2nd thing that caught my eye was that Hitler is a very good speaker. He spoke like there's nothing to it. That is why he got so many to believe that is was the Jews fault for Germany's problems because he was such a good speaker. Those were the two things that got my attention the stiff-armed salute and the way Hitler spoke so good.

Assignment 5 Timeline Summary
Concentration Camps
Many Concentration Camps were the number one choice for Nazi's to kill the Jews.There was many other ways of killing the Jews but this was the most used method.The reasons that they would use the concentration camps more than anything was because it was a lot quicker and would spare the Germans less ammunition and less emotional pain.There was about 6 concentration camps located in Poland. When they arrived at the newly added concentration camps (1942) they were not being selected to die they would kill them once they arrived. All the other camps in Poland were closing down except for Auschwitz which kept running through the summer of 1944.All the other camps in Poland were being destroyed to leave no evidence to their crime.At last they sent millions of Jews to the concentration camps in central Germany. Thousands of them died and is now known as the Death Marches.
