Journal revised #2 "Digital Child Abuse"

This TED Talk was presented by Sebastian Bortnik; he first starts this talk by showing a Facebook profile account from a girl name Nina Rodriguez. Nina was a 24-year-old man that had three different Facebook profiles with 890 kids between the ages of 8 and 13 years old. Another example is a 26-year-old Jonathan Luna that killed 12 years old Micaela Ortega because when they meet, she refuses to have sex with him. They met through Facebook, and Jonathan was under the profile name of Rochi de River a 12-year-old. 

Sebastian also gives an example of how an 11-year-old girl became a victim of grooming. A man manipulated the girl to masturbate herself in front of the webcam and recorder it. 

He talks about parents giving their kids total access to the Internet and their parents are not aware of the danger that their children might be in. He wants to make sure that we all are aware that our children can be at high risk of being abused by a pedophile while we are there and not paying attention to what our kids are doing. 

Sebastian did a survey in his country (Argentina) in 2016, and it shows that 15 percent of schools knew of cases of grooming in their school. Online safely needs to be a conversation topic in every house and every classroom in the country. 

Sebastian Bortnik backs up his evidence by using his own experiences, throughout his 

work. Sebastian Bornik is the president of Argentina cybersecurity. Over ten years ago he’s been 

investigating and educating about cyber in Argentina. Sebastian Bortnik encourages Parents 

and adults have a duty to teach, educate and protect children from this new technological world 

and predators that deceive children to rob them from their innocent and destroy them just for 

their sexual pleasure.

Journal #1 revised "Why abortion or why not"?

Why Abortion or why not? 

Abortions should be legal. The government and any other companies should not have a say on whether women should have or not an abortion. Abortion has nothing to do with religion, and especially with the government. Some women need an abortion for medical purposes, emotional or financial issues. There are occasions that a woman becomes pregnant by an assault, by accident or just because she is too naïve and doesn’t understand how a woman can get pregnant. Abortions are better than to bring a child to this world that is not wanted, the child might have a medical condition, might be, abandon in the streets right after birth, or worst yet, some women have killed their newborn child because they are not emotionally and financially capable of raising a child. Recently, we have heard of some cases that women kill their child and afterward, she gets charged for doing such a horrible crime. If these women would have the option of an abortion, it would save their life from being in jail for the rest of their life, and not cost the taxpayers more money to have them in prison for committing a crime that they felt they had no other option.

Abortion should be illegal. We have seen in the recent years that abortions clinics are closing in a lot of states. Abortion is not only illegal but also is inhuman to terminate a life. People have been arguing that there is nothing wrong having an abortion because the fetus does not have a heartbeat, but whatever the case is, is a baby, a life inside the woman. With all the information we see on tv, social media, radio, etc. Women now days have no excuse to get pregnant and say they didn’t know how to prevent a pregnancy. Yes, we see the cases of women being sexually assaulted and because of that tragedy, they get pregnant. Now we have a law called “Safe Haven” which this allows mothers to safely abandon their newborn in a safe location such as hospitals, churches, and fire departments without being charged with abandonment. Also, what are the chances that the woman might keep the child? After all is her child and the woman can grow to love the child through the months of pregnancy. No need to end a life, there are many options out there other than an abortion.

Asylum, caravan and Immigration issues in the United States

I will be writing about this topic because there is a lot of miss understanding about asylum and what the government can and can't do. These migrants spent around two months traveling from their home country to the border of Mexico and the United States. There were over 6,000 migrants that they found shelter at the Tijuana sports complex, but after several storms, the complex flooded and they all to be relocated.

Since this caravan began, around 2,010 had turn around and return to their home country due to that the United States has block them from seeking asylum. The good news for them was when former President of Mexico Enrique Pena Nieto, offered them a program called "You are at home", that will provide them with education and work permits, only around 600 took advantage of that offer.

Hidden Figures

      Throughout Hidden Figures, we see the lives of three African American women doing the same job as other white men and women, while being discriminated against for their color. These women are mathematicians trying to make a successful Apollo launch, and through all the discrimination they receive, they still put forward their best work and become one of the most respected women in the space program. 

      I would highly recommend this film to everyone; it was an absolute favorite for me. It is very educational and powerful. I love to see people give forth their best efforts when the world is against them. It is truly inspiring to see other people go through the worst conditions and still pull through and change other people’s hearts and views on discrimination just by being themselves and proving they aren’t what they are made to be. 

      I come from a third world country, particularly one that didn’t show much racism. For me, movies such as The Hidden Figures, it gives me a realization. I have never seen how people used to treat each other here in the United States. Yes, in Latin countries we did had some sort of racism and slavery (Spanish vs Indians), but that was centuries ago. Still, nothing compared to how it was portrayed here in the Unites States. Another issue that strikes me from this movie is the way whites and blacks were working for the same cause and were still payed less, forced to use different bathrooms, water fountains, all down to different coffee pots. We were all working together for the same cause: beating Russia to the moon, and yet we were fighting an internal battle between our own territory. This movie helped me realize that we are all on the same side, no matter beliefs or point of views. It helped me learn how to get along with people better and to understand that there is more to a person than just color.

                  My favorite movie is Grease 

      One of the best movies of all times. The movie is based on a musical. Is about these two young high-schooler's that meet over the summer, expend a lot of time together and then they went there ways apart when school was about to start. Little that they knew, they ended up going to the same high school. Sandy was a new student and Danny was a popular T-Bird very handsome young man that was well known for being a bad ass, great dancer, into his looks and not romantic.
      When Sandy sees Danny at school she is happy, but shocked to know that he changed. We has a totally different person because he had to impress his friends. At the end, she try to impress him by changing her looks from wearing dresses and looking innocent to dressing sexy, smoking and wearing make up. At the same time, Danny realized that he wanted her love and her tried to change and not care what his friends think if him, and he tried to dress more like a rich high schooler, once sees Sandy dresses all in black an sexy they do the final song of the movie.
       All of the songs,, the dancing, the characters, the quirkiness of the romance between the Sandy and Danny is unique.
      This movie had a $6 million budget and so far has a $400 million box office, the highest grossing movie musical of all times.

“The Believing Game” Abortion

“The Believing Game” Abortion  

Abortions should be legal. The government and any other companies should not have a say on whether women should have or not an abortion. Abortion has nothing to do with religion, and specially with the government. Some women need an abortion for medical purposes, emotional or financial issues. There are occasions that a woman become pregnant by an assault, by accident or just because she is too naïve and don’t understand how a woman can get pregnant. Abortions are better than to bring a child to this world that are not wanted, the child might have medical condition, might be abandon in the streets right after birth, or worst yet, some women have killed their newborn child because they are not emotionally and financially capable of raising a child.   Recently, we have heard of some cases that women kill their child and afterwards, she gets charge for doing such a horrible crime. If these women would have the option of an abortion, it would save their life's from being in jail for the rest of their life's, and not cost the tax payers more money to have them in prison for committing a crime that they felt they had no other option.
