Activist Practicum

I really enjoyed students' Activist Practicums which they shared with us in our class today. Everyone presented their own ideas which I find great. They all touched on very important and in the mean time interesting topics which our society faces nowadays. Problems like sexual assault, exploitation of children, physical health vs. appearance, and etc. are serious issues which influence not only mankind, but the whole world.



I was impressed by Caitie's presentation about children's sexual abuse. It was definitely disappointing for me to find out that so many children, especially in Atlanta, were victims of such exploitation. The statistics which she presented to us exceeded my worst expectations. I could not believe that even eight or ten-year-old girls were targeting and forcing to satisfy men's needs and this continues to develop. I was also surprised by the fact that this is happening even in America, because this is one of the countries or may be the only one with the flawless Law System. My expectations about the javelin delinquency were not justified. The sizes of children's pornography are insane and the Government should keep doing everything in the name of kids' care-free children hood. I really respect the support which different organizations give in order to remove children's exploitation. I think that if we want to overwhelm such problem, we have to establish more alliances like these.
