Making the Invisible; Visible

I am addressing the issue of Police Corruption. Police have a duty in society to help and protect people at any time and at any place. Sometimes people do not get help or are not protected because of their race, ethnic group and others. But what is worse is that people are giving bribes for the police to leave them alone. The police take the money without a problem as there is a constant thrive for money. Maybe the reason there is a thrive for money is because people are not being paid enough. Corruption can affect society in so many ways; people think they can just pay their way through things. When people are let go like that then they think, if they get stopped again then they can just pay their way out. And they will not be worried about speed limits because if they get caught they can easily get away with it. I have out that in many cases police have been caught and charged with corruption, but instead of stopping they just continue again and some cops have been charged more than three times. I lose trust in the police and worries me that when I get stopped or if I get stopped that they will not stop until they get money which probably I don’t have. I have heard many stories of people being taken advantage of, which happen to anyone. 

How to deal with a Dictator

There are many ways to deal with a dictator but it can be very difficult as they have so much power. Dictators are very much like tyrants, they want all power to themselves and they make sure no one stands in there way of having that power. As they have all the power it can be very hard to go up against them especially when you are an average citizen. Kim Jung Il is probably one of the most famous dictators in North Korea and they have a strong army that have a nuclear weapons program. Many times Kim Jung Il threatened to attack other countries using nuclear weapons. Some other ways that dictators have been taken out of power is through assassination.  Assassination is the most risky but most effective method because it gets rid of the dictator for good, however  the consequences can be great. For example in Rome, Julius Caesar was assassinated and his death lead to a civil war. There are also other ways to get rid of a dictator and some work better than others. One such way is through embargo, many countries rely on the exporting and importing of products. China relies on their exporting and trading to fund the economy, if people were stop trading with them then they will soon not have enough money and the economy would shrink. Another way to get rid of a dictator could be gathering a group of people to go up against a the tyrant. The will soon loose power if so many are against him. For example Julius Caesar fell because of a conspiracy. As I said before dictators are like tyrants they need power and will do anything to keep hold of, so going up against them can be very difficult especially when the dictator overseas what happens. Because they have all the power their say is law and no one can go against that him or stop him. But one way is to take away their power and they would suffer. Dictators are something that we still to this day struggle with and and there are many stories of people rising up against them. 

Assassination of JFK

John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of America. He was loved by many in America and had done very good things for America. Julius Caesar was a man that was loved by a lot of romans at the time and was very respected in the military. I feel that both men were killed for soe of the same reasons even-though, the reason for his death was because he was giving many rights to black men in America.  I feel that both of these powerful men, John F. Kennedy and Julius Caesar had some people that were jealous of their power as I think Cassius was Jealous of Caesars power. And Jon F. Kennedy was also loved by many for what he did for America such as the first man to go into space and also the Cuban missile crisis. I think many had reasons to be jealous of both of these men.

Baruani Essay

A sixteen-year-old boy from Congo Republic lives in a refugee camp in Tanzania. Baruani at the age of seven living in Congo Republic soldiers burnt Baruani’s families’ house down and they were killed. “As I was small, I managed to escape through a little hole in the wall," he explains when soldiers raided his village in the Congo. He fled from Congo Republic and ran away to a refugee camp. When he reached the refugee camp he felt like an outsider like the other 60,000 people there, whom over half are children. Baruani knows personally how lonely people can feel when in refugee camps with no parents. Baruani decided to make a radio station that would help reunite families that would have fled from the Congo Republic and a to give a voice for all the refugee children without a voice.

                                                                                          

Baruani’s radio station helps families get reunited that have split up when the war in the Congo Republic occurred. He thought that something should be done for these people that should be with their families. Barauni helps many families get back together by making sure many people hear what he has to say using his radio station. When he was younger his family was separated because of the war in the Congo Republic he had to flee to Tanzania refugee camp to survive. He was alone and had no hope of family while others had hope of a family and the hope is the radio station. From his experiences with his family having died. “Furthermore, through his radio show Baruani contributes to reuniting children with their parents. The children use the radio show to call upon people familiar with them or their family”. Living in the refugee camp where many people miss their families and who have no hope. People from Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and Congo have a chance to listen to his radio channel called 'Sisi kwa Sisi' (Children for Children). People can hear what he says and which children are looking for their rest of their family. He tries his best to make sure that nearly everyone has a chance to hear what he has to say.                                                       

Baruani and his radio station fight for a voice for many for people in different places in Africa. He was a boy with no voice and now he is a symbol of voice for child refugees like him. “The radio show and Child Voice Out program help identify these children in need, so that they can be assisted by one of the specialized organizations in the camp”. Children in refugees are often alone and he is a voice who talks to them, they can talk to him and for once they have a voice and can say in something about themselves. People in the refugee camps often are not part of the community because they have no identification or passport to say that they are from. The people at the refugees do not have the money to pay for identification and passports for all the children. That makes them feel like an outsider, and with no parents they really have no one to talk to other than each other. Many of the people who listen to the radio station are refugees that want a voice.

Baruani is a hope for people with no families and refugees with no voice. Baruani uses his life problems inspiration for his radio station, he knows what those people with no families feel like. So he talks to them about their problems make them feel like they are someone who is not lonely and that there is still hope. For some of the children he talks to are lucky because he helps those children find their family. It is important for him to have won the Children's Nobel Peace Prize, now he knows that people really need him and he can also have an achievement for what he has done. He is now known worldwide for being on the radio for people who need support and want to be reunited with their families. He is no longer a boy from the Congo Republic with no voice anymore.

Vonnegut Is stating that the world is not fair but also that the world is not a good place of equality and that there is no such thing as equality. No matter how equal you try and make the world it is never gonna be equal to every single person. People are hungry for power and strive fo power, the world will never change be equal. “Only, if I was Handicapper General, you know what I Would do?” said Hazel. Hazel, as a matter of fact, bore a strong resemblance to the Handicapper General, a woman named Diana Moon Glampers. “If I was Diana Moon Glampers,” said Hazel, have chimes on Sunday just chimes. Kind of in honor of religion.” pg.131. This shows that There not always equality in the world even when the world is suppose to be equal. the ballerinas. They Weren’t really very good-no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. They were burdened with sash-weights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face" pg. 131. The ballerina's have a hanicaps so that is unfair Ballerinas should have the right to be as beautiful as they want and not to have a massive bag weighing you down so that you cannot be as good as possible.

Identities worthyness

colorful heavy shoes
brown eyes
brown hair
wallet in pocket 64rm in it
grey socks
wrinkly hands
clean shirt
clean pants
small tubby hands
double jointed bug teeth
birth on forearm
bruises on your legs
That’s me

Is a person’s identity worth fighting for? why or why not? And what would threaten someone’s identity?

A person's identity is worth fighting for if you had no identity you would not "you". Everyone has a right to have a life or to live. One of the things that you can change is your identity not like you can change what your arm looks like. Some things that can threaten you identity would be desperation it might change the way you think and will change what people think of you.
